  1. The Richards mentioned must have been Franklin D. Richards.
    Willard Richards had died March 1854.

  2. During this time-frame, Samuel Richards is the most mentioned "Richards" in Woodruff's journal, followed by Franklin D. Richards, John W. Richards and a Bishop Richards (from whom Woodruff bought two sheep for $15).
