The Fort Wayne, IN library has a work by Alice Young Duncan entitled "Stephen Riddle and His Descendants" which they will print and mail to you for a nominal cost. Stephen did have a son named Benjamin who according to Mrs Duncan married Mary Slater in Rowan County, NC. She died in 1812 and in 1824 Benjamin moved to Tennessee where he and his second wife Nellie Harnline had 4 children. The Duncan work makes no mention of a Frances Hawkins.

I know there was a lot of Benjamin Riddle's but what I found on my Benjamin Riddle was in the Athens County Court House in McMinn, Tenn. I did find a Randolph Ridle, (note one D in last name spelling which could have been an error.) living next to Benjamin in the 1790 I believe census in NC. Other than that I have never found concrete evidence to document that he is the son of Randolph and Jemimah Hawkins RIddle. I can document the family on down, but I cannot document Benjamin and Francis Hawkins Riddle marriage records. I have been trying to locate where their land deeds are on Indian lands in NC and Tn. I do know McMinn County did not become a county until 1819 form the judge in McMinn a few years ago. It was named McMinn County for a Mr. McMinn and that was made McMinn County then. I am sure the lands are kept in the Indian Records somewhere in N.C. or Washington wherever they keep those older records. I have written many places and have made many telephone calls but to no avail. Someday, maybe I will find them. If any of you can help I would greatly appreciate it. Now I am told my Benjamin Riddle, married to Francis Hawkins is a son of Stephen Riddle. I would appreciate where the documentation is so I can also document it in my book as being correct means being correct. I like to document each person in here and not just guess as to whom my ancestors are. (Kings- Queens-waifs-or just plain ordianary people like we are.) Does this make sense to any of you? Please let me hear from you. wrakj

Would one of you please email me with the Riddle list address. Just had PC worked on and lost my favorites list. Many thanks wrakj

Try getting in touch with Chief Gary Ridge of the Southern Cherokee Nation about land records. He is based in western NC. He has been very kind to us. In fact he sent us a Cherokee flag. I think we are distant cousins. His email address is: [email protected] I have a friend who is Cherokee and lives in Tulsa. Everytime he writes he calls me "Chef". he can't spell.

Hi Riddles, I had thought there was a discussion recently of someone with Riddle family connected to Scott Co, KY. I found this record on the internet of John T Riddle, who died in Franklin Co, KY, but was the son of Anderson Riddle and Martha Offutt Riddle of Scott Co, KY. It also mention Jesse Riddle as a brother. Hope it helps someone. Cathy http://www.rootsweb.com/~kyfrankl/DeathCertificatesP-T.htm Riddle, John T. Certificate # 17760 White, Male, Married Born:  April 22, 1854, Franklin County, Kentucky Age: 57 years, 3 months, 9 days Occupation:  Farmer Date and place of death:  July 31, 1911, Elmville, Franklin County, Kentucky Cause of death:  Heart trouble and dropsy Interval between onset and death:  20 or more years Attending physician:  No physician present Father's name:  Anderson Riddle, born Scott County, Kentucky Mother's maiden name:  Martha Jane Offutt, born Scott County, Kentucky Informant:  Jesse Riddle, brother, Elmville, Kentucky Buried:  August 1911, Cedar Grove Cemetery Funeral director: Adams & Blanton, Stamping Ground, Kentucky

Wanda, when I began my research I knew absolutely nothing about how to go about it. I was checking some census microfilm (forgot the year I was looking at) and there was a Harmon Riddle in either Jack County or Clay County. I took the names to my parents house and Dad said he remembered a Harmon. Whether he was a relative or not I do not remember. I then moved away and didn't get back into it until much later. My parents lived in Jack County Texas if this helps you any. wrak

How is Benjamin Preston Riddle related? On the info I have Harmon, (son of Randolph) Benjamin P. was not listed as a child of his. His son was Benjamin F. Riddle. I got the information on Harmon from my local library, born about 1789?? at Surry or Stokes county, NC. Died 1844-near Lebanon (Wilson County) TN. Married to Elizabeth Easley and Ann-E. Woodward. Children: Jemima,Lemeul,John,Lewis,Elizabeth,Sarah,Benjamin F.,Emeline,Eliza, Eleanor-Jane, Martin-V. I also have some info on William-Stephen Riddle, son of Randolph and Jemima, he has a son named Benjamin,but not showing any dates on him, just married and had a family in Jackson Co. AL. I am willing to share what info I have collected. Am I confused about your posting? If so, you can email me directly at [email protected]

I don't have a date on James, but Mary C. Yates was born in 1811, Pittsylvania, VA. She married James on 1-19-1829. Her parents were John Yates and Nancy Taylor. Wanda

I believe I gave an incorrect address on the Texas State Library & Archives First go to Google Then Texas State Library Archives Comission Scroll down to Genealogy Then Texas Confederate Home for Indigent families You can also find the Voters back in the 1800's Sorry for the inconvenience

What is the year on your James Riddle/Mary Yates? Dream Back the Buffalo, Sing Back the Swans Carolyn Condray-Merritt gggranddaughter of Terry Riddle [email protected]

I may be telling something you already know about Thomas RIddle, but here goes anyway. Texas Confederate Veterahs Home (a.k.a,. The Old Confederates Home) was ;pcated at 1600 West Sixth Street just east of the MoPac Expressway between Patterson, West Lynn, and the Clarksville Community. The facility was constructed in 1886 by and for vetterans of General John B. Hood's Texas Brigade. It was formally dedicated on March 13, 1887. Its construction and early years of operation were entirely financed by private funds. In 1891, management of the home was taken over by the state of Texas. The Confederate Veterans Home continued to house aging veterams well into the twentieth century. Veterans, and their spouses, of the Spanish American War and the First World War were admitted to the home in 1939. In 1943, when the number of Civil War Veterans had dwindled to only six, the State Hospital began using the facility's excess capacity to house mental patients. The las Confederate veteran, Thomas Riddle, died in 1954 age the age of 108. The historic structure was raazed in 1970 and replaced by the Unibersity of Texas' Gateway Apts. for married students and their families. Confederate Street, off West Lynn, still exists today. This was taken from the Texas Confederate Veterans Home. This can be located at Texas State Library - Many of the the former residents (and spouses) of the Confederate Veterans Home are buried in the confederate Section of the State Cemetery in East Austin. The cemetery's web site includes a useful database search. www://www.edu/courses/mis311t/history/hist002.htm This is where I found it. He would have been born about 1846 but it did not say where or if he had any family. wrakj The person that wrote this states that they have kept other personal comments out of this Austin History website), my paternal grandfather worked at the Veterans Home in the late 1920's, to help finance his educatiion at the University Of Texas. In addition, he says he and his wife lived in the Gateway Apartments during the mid-1970's when they were students at UT. If you visit the grounds today,, you can still see the rock retaining walls constructed by the veterans a hundred years ago. Thought this might help someone if they are looking for a Thomas Riddle.

I was just on ancestory dot come for Maryland marriages and did not find one for Saumuel. But there again ancestory dont have evrything. Stan Riddle-Brookshier Laura, Sorry...we are stuck on Samuel Riddle...we know his wife was born in MD and moved to KY but we don't know if they married in MD or KY. Sam could have been from MD, or a local in KY, or even from VA. We know the two of them moved west to MO in the 1830's with a group of other families connected in one way or another to his wife's family, the Clarvos. Those families, the Leakes, Elliotts, Mudd, Gough, and Arnetts had a great number of intermarriages. For all we know, Sam was an orphan! Sue
