Martha list her age as 17 - approx. date of birth being 1863. I will send the actual census to you since it is a large file Debbie -----Original Message----- From: MORIPLEY-L-request@rootsweb.com [mailto:MORIPLEY-L-request@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Matt Patterson Sent: Friday, June 03, 2005 4:32 PM To: MORIPLEY-L@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [MORIPLEY] SURNAMES: Merrill and Riley Debbie, Thanks! Both of John's wives were from Ripley Co. If you have a chance to quickly look for them. I've also seen the spelling of Merrill as Merrell. Mahala also spelled Mahalia was born 1 Nov 1854. John married Martha Riley on 11 Mar 1880. I have no idea when she was born. This is where it starts to get real confusing and real interresting at the same time. John's first wife Mahala\Mahalia were distant cousins. Mahala\Mahalia's mother is Sarah S. "Sallie" Patterson. Sallie was a niece of Daniel Pitchford Patterson my GGGGrandfather. In my previous e-mail I said John F. was the brother to Daniel. That's not true, John F.'s father George W. Patterson was a nephew of Daniel Pitchford Patterson. Is everything clear as mud now? I'm not even sure if I understand it completely!
