Squire Freeman Richardson was born in 1841 in Stockton, Chautauqua, New York to Freeman Richardson and Rebecka Smith. He moved with his family to La Crosse, Wisconsin.

Squire married first Caroline E. Devol. Caroline, also called Carrie, was born in 1844 in Bristol, Bristol, Rhode Island to Thomas Russell Devol and Emily Frances Munroe. She, too, had moved to La Crosse County with her family.

Carrie died in 1889 in Stockton, Chautauqua, New York and was buried in Cassadaga Cemetery in Cassadaga. Squire was listed as living with or next to daughter Julia and her family in Dunkirk, Chautauqua, New York and working as a carpenter in 1892. He married secondly to 19-year-old Catherine Manning (born about 1873, appears as Kate for short in one newspaper article) 17 August 1892 the German Methodist Church, Dunkirk, Chautauqua, New York. Both were listed as residents of Dunkirk.

Squire who earned fame as a counterfeiter, died in New Mexico on 9 August, 1906, most likely in the asylum at Las Vegas, San Miguel, New Mexico. The undertaker noted that he died in New Mexico and one newspaper noted that he died in Alamogordo, Otero, New Mexico. There is a chance that he did but this may have been marked down by the undertaker as it had been his last residence before commitment and Julia was probably living in Otero county at that time (she was living there in 1910).

Squire's body was transported to New York, accompanied by his daughter Julia, her husband J. S. Morgan, and a grandson (probably Maurice Morgan). They arrived at Cassadaga, Chautauqua, New York 19 August 1906 at 9:38am. The hearse met them at the depot and took his body to Cassadaga Cemetery in Cassadaga, Chautauqua, New York, where he was buried that day, next to Carrie.
