I did use Neal's ID info to track a possible military record for Richardson. There aren't many surviving militia records but there are pension records for the regular army and I did find a John Richardson born the right year and in Lambeth in those pension records but there was nothing in them to positively say it was the same man, and I did find there were two other men named John Richardson born in Lambeth within a similar time frame.
The pension record showed the soldier John Richardson was epileptic and was discharged on account of that.
