Subj: Request to Corinne Lil for Ridgway Info Date: 99-09-28 15:18:59 EDT From: Nellmail To: NJOcean-L@Rootsweb.com I communicated with Vickie Ridgway-Randolph and she suggested that I contact you for some Ridgway information. I am looking for the parents of James R. Ridg(e)way who was born in 1829 and who married Elizabeth Oldridge in Vermillion Co. IN in 1850. Vickie had information on a family, James B. Ridgway b. 1800 in LaPort IN and married Naomi Willets and had the children: John, James, Nathan, Marion and Mary Naomi. James B.'s father was Jeremiah Ridgway b. 1770 in NJ amd married Judith Bartlett. Jeremiah and his family is reported to have moved to LaPorte, IN in 1837/8. The Indiana records that I have found and the book "Ridgways U.S.A." show this family but they do not mention the son James. I was hoping to find out if you might have some information on this James. I am hoping that he might be the James R. in my family. "Ridgways U.S.A." has the children of James B. Ridgway being born as follows, but like I said no mention of James: John b. 1824, Nathan b. 1827, Marion b. 1843 and Mary Naomi b. 1843. Since my James R. was born in 1829, this could possibly be his family. Can you help? Thanks Jenell Rector Cremeans Nellmail@aol.com
