Posted on: Knox Co. Oh Queries Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Oh/Knox?read=337 Surname: Riley ------------------------- Yes, I'm very interested. Have in been in touch with Irene Orlaska? She is also a decendent of William Riley and has printed a book on the Riley-Shrimplins and decendents. It has been very helpful and she did most of the research going to the source. Through her I learned where Nicholas and Hannah are buried and the farm where they raised their family in Knox Co. Pleas feel free to email me at shartom@netsync.net

I am still seeking family of the following individual: Sarah Ellen (Ella) Wolfe, b. 1872, d. 1896, m. M. Emmett Lilley, abt. 1894, ???. M. Emmett b. 1872, d. abt. 1945. Sarah Ellen buried at Brinkhaven Ceme. M.E. Lilley buried with his second wife Daisy Belle Majors in Workman Cemetery. M.E and Sarah Ellen had only one child, Ida May Lilley b. October 13, 1895. I believe a relative to Ella is a Mr. Gomer Wolfe who served in the Air Force during the Korean War. Any info appreciated. Steve von Hitritz in Richmond, VA

This includes information on Nicholas Jackson's parent's William and Susan Cummins Riley and grandparent's, Nicholas and Hannah Shrimplin Riley. Also information on Hannah Shrimplin's ancestry. Let me know if your interested in such information.

Oh Queries Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Oh/Knox?read=334 Surname: PETTY, BLACK, RILEY, SHRIMPLIN, WALLACE, DESHAZO ------------------------- I'm a descendent of Nicholas Riley's oldest son, William, Harriet's brother. I have information on William's descendents, but very little on Nicholas. I recently came across some ancestry of Hannah Shrimplin, but it is nothing I've researched myself or verified. It was provided by a Shrimplin descendent. Her name is Anna Flotow, a descendent of Hannah Shrimplin's brother John. I have this info on my FTM webpage. Email me if you would be interested in seeing it.
