The stone marker for John Richardson has his death in 1789, age 79, giving a birth date ca. 1710. The marriage record of 1765 from the Family History Library citation would give his birth ca. 1725, and Mary Flintoff's ca. 1735.
Note that First Families of New Brunswick says that John died at Windsor NS.
