Joseph Richards was born on August 11, 1826 in Wales to John and Ann (Evans) Richards. He was one of the five children born to John and Ann. On October 3, 1847 he married Ann Thomas. This union produced twelve children (and one adopted daughter), though only six lived to see their adult years. They settled in Pennsylvania where they lived, though in several different locations, until the 1860's. After the Civil War ended the family moved to Knoxville, Tennessee where Joseph along with his brothers and a Mr. Hiram Chamberlain started a firm which later was called the Knoxville Iron Company. Joseph stayed in Knoxville until the late 1870's and spent a brief time in Chattanooga, Tennessee as well as Portland, Maine before moving to Oliver Springs, Tennessee. Here is where he and Ann had a hotel by the mineral springs. The first hotel had thirty rooms, though the one that was later built after Joseph had died was a larger 150 room structure. Joseph died on December 31, 1888 in Oliver Springs, Tennessee.
