I found John & Naomi on the 1850 and 1860 census in Taneytown. Was hoping to find some relationship to our family. Samuel was the son of Peter and Catharine (Shriner) Ridinger with siblings: Lydia Ann who married Joseph Walker Witherow, John who married Mary Jane Hess (widow of his brother, Peter, however have not ruled out that he MAY have also been married first to a Naomi...no proof. HOWEVER none of the children listed are with him in same household in the 1880 census altho they may very well be on their own by then), Elizabeth who married James Heck, Peter married Mary Jane Hess, Rachel married Charles Mentzel, Isaac N. married Susan E., Rebecca J. and Mary Catherine died single in their early 20's. If you can confirm a connection would sure appreciate hearing! Always glad to hear of another 'cousin'. Betty
