Rev. Joseph Richardson - Grandfather - What I know!

Joseph Richardson was my grandfather...I was born in October 1949 - he died in June 1953 - I don't remember ever meeting him - maybe I did!  I have pictures at different times in his life - given to me by other family members and have copies of the following US census records:

In the Providence, RI 1880 Census, I found:
 
      Gr. Grampa Joseph, age 55, Farm Laborer, born in Massachusetts
      Gr. Gramma Eunice, age 31, Wife, born in Massachusetts
      Joseph (Grampa) listed at 10 years of age, and his sister Martha, 9 years - both born in Minnesota, sister Alice, 3 years and brothers Samuel, age 7 and Elias, age 6 all born in Massachusetts,  and finally, baby sister, Elsie 1 month (listed as 1/12 of a year) born in Rhode Island
   
Moving on to the US Census of 1900, Addison, Vermont:
