The part that has me a bit hopeful is that William born in VA. as that is where mine was born in 1803. I have never had any idea as to where. Perhaps your William 1777 was the father to my William 1803. If it should turn out to be so wouldnt that be a great find. I thank you and will now try to explore my William along this new route. Will let you know what I find....... hopfully lots!. Joan

Jim, Welcome back. Brenda is right - You've missed nothing on John Riddle and Mary Higgins. We need a fresh idea from somewhere. Bill Putnam

G. W. LAWSON (29) to Martha A. RIDDLE (36), both of Gould Farm, Caldwell County, Missouri --Jul. 3, 1898-- at Fairview Township By: L. White, Justice of the Peace Page 82 Stan, I finally made it to the National Archives. Found the following information: 1890- I looked at some of the military pension records in Caldwell Co., MO. for J W Riddle and didn't find anything. ( I did see a James W. Riddle of Kentucky who was in Caldwell, MO.). 1900 -US Census Fairview Township, Caldwell, MO, ED# 3, Sheet 8, Line58. Found Martha A. is enumerated with husband of 2 years, George W. Lawson. Martha's date of birth is given as Oct. 1851 and states she was born in Indiana. Her father was born in Ohio. Her mother was born in Indiana. George W. Lawson born Apr 1868, states he was born in Indiana. His father was born in Tennessee. His mother was born in Indiana. 1900 -US Census Fairview Township, Caldwell, MO. Vol 13, ED 3, Sheet 7, Line 68. Found George W. Riddle enumerated as a border with another family. (Nichols, William L.) Date of birth given as Feb 1877, Age 22, born in MO, Farm Laborer. Stated Father's birthplace as VA, Mother's birthplace as IL. 1920 -US Census Chillicothe City, Rick Hill Township, Livingston, MO. Vol. 34, ED# 98, Page 11B, Line 82. Riddle, George is enumerated with family. Milly wife 38 Iowa (father born New York) (mother born in Wisconsin) Zelma 16 Willard 14 Mildred 12 George 11 Beulah 9 Kenneth 8 Bernice 3 Info for George states he owns free of mortgage his home. He is stated as being 40 years of age. ( Making his birthdate about 1880) His parents are from the US. His occupation is Machinist/ Blacksmith. The 1910 Census was very difficult to read. I may just go back and get information from the index. That can be my adventure for next week. If you would like copies of the census records let me know and I can get it sent out to you via snail mail. Did you get the other info. I sent? If not yet, it should arrive soon. : ) The above info was sent to me by my cousin except for the marriage info that came from Caldwell county marriage records in the MoWeb archives. The Martha is my Ggmo Riddle and her 2nd marriage. The Geo W Riddle and family is my gfa and his family except for my aunt Mary Lucille and my uncle Elgin. They are living according to the census info with his sister and her husband. I'm copying this for repasting and sending to the Lawson list again. However this time I will post it to the Scotch Irtish list also as i'am adding some addtional info. That is the marriage of my aunt Beulah Riddle to Cecil Ross. Cecil Eritt Ross married Beulah Riddle on Sept 2, 1928 in Chillicothe Missouri, Livingston Co., Missouri. The father Geo W. Riddle consented to the marriage of Beulah. Cecil was born May the 9, 1901 in Skidmore, Nodaway Co., Missouri. His parents were . James MacIntosh Ross who was born in Toronto, Ontario, Canada Lillian Mae Banes who was born Quitman, Nodaway Co., Missouri. James father supposedly born ABT 1855 Scotland. Died in Canada some place during a skirmish or possiable Indian War. Wife unknown Lillians parents were Joseph Augusts Banes of Penn, b. Abt 1875 and Nancy Mark, b. Illinois STAN BROOKSHIER, SR.

This is so odd as my gg grandfather was William Anderson Riddle b. 1824. He came from Owen County, KY. His father was John Riddle from Owen and Scott Co., KY. I have had evidence that his father was John Lewis Riddle b. 1804 in Owen Co., KY and his father was William Riddle b. 1777 in Fauquier Co., VA. This is all I have BUT that Anderson name SURE has me wondering!

The only thing for sure that I have is that they originated with William Riddle b:1803 VA who married Polly Mirah Parks in Burke County N.C. and they migrated to Indiana, where they both died. Although William died several years before Polly.Polly married twice after his death. First to John Ridgeway, and second to John Anderson. That is all I have on the origin of my line of Riddles.

I wonder if these Riddles came 'north' from Owen County, KKentucky??

Hi As a new subscriber, I thought it time to chuck in a bit of interest, as somebody obviously feels this list is not exciting enough! I hope this stimulates your collective grey-matter, as I am at a brick wall with this lot!!: I do not have anybody called Riddle in my line, however this is the closest name I can find on Gen-Forum (and elsewhere) to the RIDHOLLS that I do know of, including my grandmother, Laura Annie Ridholls. They all seem to come from the southern Devon/Cornwall border, which changed a bit ecclesiastically and governmentally in the time-scale we are talking about, c1852 for the birth of my Great Granddad, Henry Ridholls, in possibly Devon. He married an Ellen Tucker, b 1854 in Calstock, Cornwall. They had nine children, of whom I have details. If any appetites are whetted, please, I really do want to progress this line, so any information is gratefuly received. Sal;udos Ian

Hi Cousins----I have been out of commission for quite a while due to some health problems, but now I am back amongst you and ready to resume research. As a starter, has anyone come up with any new information regarding the origins of John Riddle and Mary Higgins of Laurens, SC during my absence? Good to be back---Jim Riddle--Naples, FL

Know about the name bit on the tombstone. My Ggmo is buried in Clinton, Henry County Mo and they have the name of Ruth on her tombstone and her name was Rheuwama or Rewama. My Gmo's middle name apparently was Ruth. Stan

Mike there might not be any connection at all. But in talking to my newly found Riddle cousin in Missouri this past week. He told me of the passing of Vernon Riddle. Vernon was living in Brookfield, Linn Co. Missouri last year when I talked to him. He was in his 80's. He was one fine person. I could tell that just from talking to him and my cousin confirmed it. How did they become aquainted since they werent kin. Fishing! Anyway in talking to Vernon he told me his people were from Browning Missouri which if I remember correctly is in Linn county also. Stan

Stan: It looks like they read the same census I had because the L looks like a S. She was Lulu according to all other accounts. Tough when you really are pulling at straws. Didn't these people know we would be looking for them one day..

Stan: My Vernon (Vernie was on the 1920 census) was born Nov. 5, 1907 in Monroe City, MO. He died in Washoe County, (Reno) Nevada on July 24, 1970. Not to say the Vernon you spoke with could not have been his son but it also could have been Paul his brothers son. My Vernon would have been about 93 years old last year and going on 94 in 2001. I have no idea who his children or even his wife. I have his death certificate and he is the son to John William Riddell and Lulu Marshall but they had her name as Sula. I made a trip to the Green Lawn Methodist Church Cemetery about 3 years ago and it has on her tombstone Lulu Marshall Riddell. I have no idea where they came up with Sula. She died when they were just babies.

Hello. I am a descendant of the Lynch family of Virginia. My mother descended from one of triplet children of George and Peggy Lynch.. These Lynches came over from ( Ireland,? Scotland ? or England in aprov the year of 1780 ?) The first child , John, was born on board Ship. The triplets were: Rebecca, Catherine (K) and William. I descend through K or Catherine. I would like to hear from any of these children. There were more children. Thank you C. Todd [email protected]

This is Mike Conners and I have in my hands the Soc. Sec. Application for Paul Chilton Riddle. I sent for it thinking it might have been my Paul Riddell. My Paul Riddell was the son of Lulu Marshall Riddell and William John Riddell (but would rather go by John William) who was b. June 30, 1859 in Florida, Ralls Co. Mo. and died in Los Angeles, CA on Dec. 11, 1950. John and Lulu had 2 boys and they were Paul and Vernon. I found Vernon Riddell b.Nov. 6, 1907 in Monroe City, MO. and he died July 24, 1970 in Washoe Co. Nevada. I have yet to locate Paul. This Paul Chilton Riddle was born in Grandbury, Texas on June 11, 1900. He was living at 116 Moorpark, Moorpark CA. He was self-employed and his father was George Lee Riddle and his mother was Viola Pauline Lucas. He applied on July 14, 1937 and signed the application. Whomever claims him is welcome to give me their address and I will send this to them at no charge. It will save you some money and a whole lot of time if you would like to have the copy they sent to me. His SS # was: 569-12-2648. Mike Conners Ggrandson of Victoria Louise Riddell.

Doris I dont believe so as mine came from Indiana to Missouri abt 1869--1870. Then later to Oklahoma. Or at least that is what I know at present. Still waiting to hear from my new found Riddle cousin. Stan

>> I am trying to locate an obituary for John Riddle who lived in Cincinnati, Hamilton, OH.  He died on 20 Feb 1927 in that city. >> I am also related to a John RIDDLE (b. 4 Dec 1761 NJ - d. 17 Jun 1847 OH) who lived in Cincinnati, Hamilton Co., OH. He lived there much earlier when the town was first started in the late 1700's. He came from New Jersey and had 4 wives. My line is from his 2nd wife, Mary JAMES. He had two children with Mary before she died on 9 Sept 1800 in Hamilton Co., OH. Their first child was Mary RIDDLE born 10 Sept 1797 Mill Creek Twp., Hamilton Co., OH. She md. James Brown RAY and they later moved to Indiana. This is my line. John RIDDLE had 18 children with the 4 wives. If any connection is found back to this early John RIDDLE please contact me.
