Andrew Heizer Richardson and his wife Elizabeth McCoy/McKoy/McKay) are buried in a large family burial ground known as the "Richardson Cemetery" and also called "Shady Grove Cemetery," near their home place at the head of Batchelor's Creek in Craven County, North Carolina. Several generations of this family were buried at the cemetery.

The Richardson Cemetery is located in Township 9 in Craven County, east of NC Hwy 55 W, near Jumping Run Creek, a branch tributary of Batchelor's Creek. The cemetery is on private property, accessible via an unpaved farm road, through wooded terrain and fields.

The cemetery's GPS location is 35.179854, -77.166686, and the Parcel ID is 9-049-18000 (also see Plat Book G, page 171 F). For further details, see Allen Humphrey's excellent maps and description in his on-line database of Craven County, NC, Cemeteries, Volume 3.

This cemetery was not included in the WPA cemetery records of Craven County, but a survey of the cemetery was listed in "Craven County Cemeteries, Vol. 2" (1995), which noted with the two transcribed headstones: "There are between 30 and 50 unmarked graves in this cemetery, and 40 years ago contained some 20 or so slab markers which could not be located." Only the same two headstones identified in the 1995 cemetery survey can be found today: Richard Richardson (1795-1835) and Elizabeth Jane "Bettie" McCoy Young (1836-1860). Both markers are broken but partly legible.
