Two cementaries may offer clues: Dayton City Cementary has several Riddle graves. Also Lone Mtn Cementary just south of Rhea Co. has several decendants of the infamous "Tory" Willaim Riddle are buried. Several were married to the Igou clan. Another valuable source is the County historian who can be contacted thru the Dayton public library

Who are "your folks in Wash State"? I am a RIDDLE descendant in WA State, and I don't think we've "met"! Susan(nah) RIDDLE/Nathaniel WILSON (PA>KY>IN) are my gr-gr-grandparents. Time frame is late 1700's, early 1800's. They are buried in Indiana at the Underwood Cem. in Madison, Jefferson, IN. Sherry Steele (Seattle)

Sorry abt that folks. That was suppose to go to Dave Riddle. Not to the list. Stan

Just checking to see if this thing is working again

I don't know if any of my RIDDLEs ended up in Rhea Co. TN, but I am a descendant of Susan(nah) RIDDLE, married to Nathaniel Wilson, lived in Kentucky in the late 1700's. Have heard, but not documented, that her father was James RIDDLE, master of the barge "Ann" out of Lexington KY, and that her husband, Nathaniel, was a KY legislator. Their daughter, Jane Campbell Wilson, married my gr-grandfather, James William Steele, in Bourbon Co. KY in 1826 (not proven). Anyone have more?? Sherry Steele (Seattle)

Hi Carol: Thank you for your reply. I do not know too much about my Riddles other than the names James R. Riddle and his son, Terry Riddle so I do not know if Milo or Harms appears in my Riddle family or not. Of course, Charles is a family name, but then what family doesn't have a Charles in their family. Have fun going through all your Aunt's files, I know it is exciting for you to be given such a gift to help in unlocking you Riddle family. Keep all us Riddles informed of what you find out.

Carolyn, Sorry I can't really answer that first question! I have numerous boxes of material organized in a fashion that I am only now beginning to understand. I finally decided to grab some Riddle group sheets that were together and start typing. I have entered just a little over 100 people, most of whom I have met during my lifetime. This weekend I finally finished the family group sheets for the Riddle's and started looking for more... I know she has gotten more information than what was in the sheets, I remember some of her stories! It seems that she didn't fill out group sheets for the rest of the Riddle's that she found. So now I have started going through the file folders that she had put together. I know that her main goal was to write a book and looking through these folders I am getting a general idea of how she intended on going about this. The document that I found was in a folder with copies of my dad and uncle's military papers and newsclippings of their children's school activities, wedding announcements etc. Everything is recent, more or less, and deal with people that are still living. Hince the confusion on this document being there. I promise if I do find more Rhea Co. Riddle's I will let you know. Do you know if James or Terry had any "Milo"'s or "Harm."'s in their family? I believe the document also has a Jennie listed. I don't have it with me right now but I will go back and look for those two names and if you have any other names let me know.

In checking with "missing money.com" I found 2 entries with the name of Charles E. Riddle. I inquired since I had been staioned at Eglin during the early 60's. If anyone knows the wereabouts of this person there is almost 300.00 in an account with the Fla Comptroller and 7 shares of stock with the Vanguard Group, Eglin AFB. Everyone with the name Riddle or whatever relative's name you choose, may possibly have money some where in the 50 states. This gives a report on most states. The report is free and is listed with each state's financial office. Good luck. Check my website---page "dedication."

Hi Gang, Anyone have a match to a C. M. Riddle that lived in Rhea Co. TN? I found a typed document in my Aunt's files and am a bit confused with it. It starts out: Information located while on vacation in Rhea Co. Tenn. While on vacation in Tenn. I talked to Mr. C. M. Riddle by phone. His mailing is Datyon Tenn. (with a phone number). The C. M. stands for Charles Milo, he is 83 years old and also a WWI vet. I do remember my Aunt traveling some (in the early 80's maybe). There is no date on this and given the other items that were on file where this was found I am not even sure that she is the one that typed it. Anyway, I would assume that this person was probably born in the late 1890's. If anyone knows of him please let me know.

Dear Shirley, I saved this in my file a while back and just now "found" it again. Although I have not a bit of information on this Riddle line, I am wondering if perhaps the Thomas Riddle Jr. you speak about could have had a brother William Riddle b: 1803 in VA. d:1848 in IN; that married Polly Mirah Parks in N.C. The William Riddle I am asking about was my gggrandfather. The only known thing about him before he married Polly is his birth date and state of birth. I can find nothing more about him. I do know he is buried in In in a private cemetery. Thank you for anything you may have on this, and if there is nothing , I thank you for your time. Joan

I believe your James Alexander Riddle(s) to be the son of James A. and Lucinda J. Riddles. According to the 1880 TX Soundex, James A. & Lucinda had a son, James A. born about 1860. They were living in Caldwell Co., TX at the time. The younger James had a brother Richard W. (which I have suspected to be Richard Walker Riddles). The older James' parents were Richard and Celia (McCutchen) Riddle(s). I have more on Celia's line also. I have hit a wall in finding the parents of Richard. We have a family reunion in July each year. It is mainly the descendents of Abner brother to James who is a son of Richard and Celia. We have had descendents of Harvey and Thomas to also attend. Harvery and Thomas were also children of Richard and Celia. Several of us are working on the family tree. It gives us a chance to compare notes and find out what the others have been able to find out. If you are interested in more, I will share info. Do you ever get to Oklahoma? We live at Comanche, OK. Many of the descendents of Abner Riddles settled in the Jefferson, Stephens, and Cotton Counties in OK. They had lived in Montague Co., TX, before coming to OK. Let me know what info you are interested in. I am glad to have been able to find out about you.

I don't have a lot of information on my RIDDLE line, except this: Susan(nah) Riddle married Nathaniel Wilson (1782, but not documented). They lived near Madison, Jefferson, Indiana. They are my gr-gr-grandparents. Susan(nah) had siblings, but I don't have their names right at the moment. Tentatively, I have her father as James Riddle, the master of a barge "Ann" (1806) out of Lexington (presumably KY, but have heard there's a Lexington, Indiana, as well. This is from research done over 30 years ago by my brother, before the days of online research, and at a time when he had no money to go to the area and find out for himself! So---nothing definite! Sherry (Seattle)

Danny---John Riddle, the husband of Elizabeth Sanders, lived in Kershaw County, SC at one time. He is shown in the 1800 census. Some believe that he was the son of another John Riddle who came over from Ireland in 1771 on the ship Free Mason and was given land grants in Kershaw Co. Some in my clan believe that John Riddle of Laurens Co. SC who married Mary Higgins was the son of the one who came from Ireland. I have never seen anything that proves or disproves either theory beyond any doubt. There is evidence both ways. Good luck.-----Jim

Does anyone have the line of John Riddle and Elizabeth Sanders? They had a son James Riddle b. 1804 d. 1847 married Lousia Horton. They have children: Elizabeth b. Cleveland county, NC Rebecca b. 1832 Alabama Harriet Clyburn b.1834 Thomas Sanders b. 1836 Ga Louise b. 1841 James Marion b. 1843 Lancaster County, SC Thanks, Danny Riddle [email protected]

Thank you Doris, I really appreciate it. Steve

Hi Steve and others, I only have the portion with the Riddle names on the Texas Death Index....a good friend copied it for me a couple of years ago from the Clayton Library in Houston. As I understand it, it is several volumes so not too many libraries have it. One other alternative is to request a lookup from the Texas State Library. They will do limited searching for you. Send your request to [email protected] The last time I did this was in 1999 so I don't know if they still do it or not. I will be happy to continue looking for Riddle names in the copies I have if anyone needs a lookup. It is for the years 1903-1940. I am having a problem with my "reply to" button so please include your email in the message. Doris Moore [email protected]
