Found this on the net. Might be of interest to someone: http://www.ohio.gov./agr/cf96f.html Riddle Family Farm Mary Riddle 12207 US Rt. 62 Orient, OH 43146 Pickaway County The Riddle Family Farm traces its roots back to Peter Young (Jung) who immigrated from Germany to the U.S. in the early part of the 19th century to escape the oppressive army draft laws. First settling in Pennsylvania, the Young family eventually moved to Ohio where John Young was born in 1831. Through the late 1840s and into the 1850s, John hired out as an itinerate farm worker in Ohio and Indiana, saving his money to return to his home area and eventually start farming on his own. In 1868, he and his wife Lucinda Kauffelt, purchased a 340 acre farm from Lucinda's parents. That farm, plus an additional 190 acres, is today being farmed by Mary Riddle and members of her family. Her husband of 63 years, Frank, passed away in 1994. The farm has been in the family for more than 128 years, and today it is a cash grain and beef cattle operation. Original buildings still in use today include a frame barn, a chicken house and a small barn used to stable the carriage horses. The house built by John Young in 1876, which serves as home for Mary Riddle, features oak hardwood floors and woodwork made from lumber cut on the farm. John's son, Tenny, and his wife Loretta, took over the farm in 1915 when John died. At Tenny's death in 1955, the farm operation was split between two sons, Franklin and Russell. Franklin married Mary Scott in 1931 and they lived in Jefferson County for three years before moving to the farm in 1934. They had three children, John Franklin, Carol and Richard. The farm was incorporated in 1988 so it would always remain in the Riddle family. The farm has been modernized with additional buildings but the historical significance has not been overlooked. The original log house, which John and Mary Elizabeth first lived, stood for more than 100 years on the farm. The family has been actively involved both in agriculture and rural activities. Franklin was a 4-H advisor for 30 years and all the children and grandchildren have been 4-H members. Franklin also was very active in the local Masons and Shrine organizations. He was a past master of the Mt. Sterling Lodge and was a 50 year Masonic Order member. Mary is a 50 year member of the Eastern Star and has served as organist for the United Church in Mt. Sterling for more than 26 years. She still plays piano and organ for the church, Eastern Star and Pythian Sisters at 86 years of age. The family has maintained its Masonic association with Franklin's two sons, one son-in-law, three grandsons, one grandson-in-law and one nephew serving as masters of the Mt. Sterling Lodge. Franklin also served for 14 years on the Darby Township School Board. Biography provided by Tim Reeves of Ohio's Country Journal.

I would greatly appreciate a lookup, if you have the time and would be more than willing to reimburse you. Looking for David Riddle, buried in the Sangamon County, Illinois area. He died around 1846. Also looking for his wife Mary (Hamilton) Riddle who died around 1821 in Washington County, Illinois and his second spouse Elizabeth (Wakefield) Riddle in the same area. The last one would be one of their children, John Riddle born abt 1809 and his wife Sarah H.(Clark) Riddle born abt 1813 in the Sangamon County, Illinois area. Believe Sarah H. died around 1848-1850 and John later married Martha (Archer)Riddle, born about 1817. Can anyone help me with this family. Thanks.
