Mary Jean, I have put this Rial with Moore...because he seems to be where some of Moore's other children are. I think Joe has him with Littleberry of Alabama.... Right Joe? As to whom he really belongs... I can't say for certain.

Nancy ------Roane Co, TENN - 1806 Reel & Berry ---?MISS territory - 1810 Rial - Vagrant - SOUTH CAROLINA - 1811 Rial - Burglary & escapee - Robertson Co TENN - 1816 This is a most puzzling Rial and perhaps I am over simplifying. I am wondering indeed if they are all the same Rial and interested to see who you determine is his father. The MISS to SC jump is certainly surprising. The Rials of Kentucky, however seem to fit in your line up with Absolum Matlock. Hope you don't mind my intrusion, but this one really caught my eye. I do salute you Gurus of Matlocks however and thank you all for being there and helping us all.
