I am researching John Riley. John Riley who died in 1828 in Brown County Ohio according to family history. He was married to a woman named Joanna/Anna Shield. Joanna remarried in 1829/1830 to a Isaac J. Dawson who migrated to Indiana. A Dawson researcher beleives that the Riley and Shield families may have come from Maryland through Kentucky. John was supposedly born in Ohio and Joanna is listed in several documents as having been born in Kentucky. John and Joanna had three children; William, James, and America. America married Simon P. Warner in 1845 and died in Oregon (?). James married Sarah Ellen Brady in 1846 and removed to somewhere in Ohio. James allegedy had the nickname of Wrestlin Jim. John may have been the 4th eldest of 10 children born to Nicholas and Hannah Shrimplin Riley, on 7/3/1807. Nicholas and Hannah migrated to Knox County, Ohio abt 1806 from Wellsburg, Virginia. Does anyone have any information this John. I would also be interested to know if this John were buried in the Riley cemetary outside Mt. Vernon. I will be glad to share any information.
