Hi Kay, I do know what Twp Thompson Riley and family lived, It was "Marion" maybe they were related to the Loyd family, if so the move to "MONONA Co." was in the right direction, I know that my great-grandparents lived in Bourbon Co. Kansas by the late 1800's. I'll keep an eye out for the Loyd family and if you should happen across the surnames names WELCH or REED in connection to Riley or Loyd I would be very interested Thanks for the response. Jeanne
