Richardson, Henry Dufilho, general insurance, and head of the Crescent Adjustment & Inspection Co., New Orleans,
was born at Opelousas, St. Landry parish. La., March 17, 1877. He is a descendant, in the 5th generation, from Don
Manuel Toledano, who, in turn, was a descendant from King Charles V. of Spain. The full name of the Toledano
family formerly was Toledano y Veuzuala, but the latter portion of the name, in time, was dropped as a matter of
convenience, leaving the family name as it is used at this time, Toledano.
This family originally came from Toledo, Spain, but Don Manuel resided in Madrid. He married Jo.sephine De
Montanaire. a lady of noble birth. Mr. and Mrs. Don Manuel Toledano became the parents of Christobal Toledano, who
married Baselise Barbe, of Toulouse, France. This latter couple became the parents of Palmere Toledano who married
Henry Dufilho. Mr. and Mrs. Dufilho were the father and mother of Palmere Dufilho, who married John T. Richardson,
son of Capt. Wm. Richardson of the Royal Naval Reserves, Liverpool, Eng., and father of the subject of this
sketch. H. D. Richardson obtained his early education at the Jesuit's college, which he attended until 12 years of
age, when he left school and became an employee of the Natural Premium Life Assurance society. After 1 year here,
he went to Texas, but within a short time returned home and entered the service of the Sun Insurance Co. as an
office boy, remaining with this company 12 years.
Then, at the age of 25 years, he resigned from the service of the Sun Insurance Co. to accept a position as New
Orleans manager and special agent for the German Insurance Co. of Freeport, III. He held this position 2 years,
and then became associated with the Hibernia Insurance Co., where he remained another 2 years, following which he
launched into business on his own account as a general insurance agent, also operating the Crescent Adjustment &
Inspection Co., the business of which is to adjust fire losses. Mr. Richardson is a Jesuit alumnus, a member of
the Chess, Checkers, and Whist club, the Young Men's Gymnastic club, the Southern Yacht club and the Hoo-Hoo
fraternity. He has one sister, Loyola Eugene, now the wife of Dr. Pierre Leonce Thibaut, and two brothers, J. W.
A. Richardson, and Camille E. Richardson.
