--=====================_931709903==_ Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" --=====================_931709903==_ Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Subject: Benjamin Britton Riddle Bob Boone and All I finally found my notes on "how Benjamin Britton Riddle got his name". The bottom line is that my g-g grandfather, James Riddle (1822-1867) named his son, my g-grandfather Benjamin Britton Riddle (1851-1928) in honor of Elizabeth Britton (1794-1835 ) and her father Benjamin Britton of Rutherford County, NC. What was the Britton connection or why did he do that? The Britton family connection to the Riddle's came as a result of our connection to the Arrowood family. The Arrowood and Riddle families were neighbors in Pensacola, Yancey County, NC. Benjamin Tyre Riddle (1800-1875) and his wife Rachel Austin (1803-1855?) were friends and neighbors of James Arrowood (1794-1845) and his wife Elizabeth Britton (1794-1835). Ben T. Riddle's daughter "Nellie" Elendor Riddle (1824-1898) married the son of James and Elizabeth Britton Arrowood, John Jackson Arrowood (1821-Aft.1900) on March 10, 1844. My g-g grandfather James Riddle and his wife Elizabeth Hensley (1831-1866) named their 2nd son Benjamin Britton Riddle. He was born Jan. 28, 1851. John Jackson and Nellie Elendor Riddle Arrowood named their 4th son Benjamin Britton Arrowood. As I said in my last message on this subject, my g-grand father B. Britton Riddle named his son "Britt" William Britton Riddle. My grandfather Lunel McGilvary Riddle (1877-1953) named his 2nd son James Britton Riddle (Jan. 1896-May 1896). I am indebted to Shirley Skeen Borden of Hayward, CA who provided much of the information on ARROWOOD/RIDDLE connection 1997-1998 and to Ralph Dean Clark of Los Angeles, CA who has provided a web page which documents and supplements the ARROWOOD connection. you can find Ralph's web page at: http://www.geocities.com/~ralphinla/arrowood.htm Bob, At this point, I still have not established a connection between your James or Brittian Riddle, b. 1814 and my Riddle family but I think that Wilkes and Rutherford Counties, NC would be a good place to start. A lot of Riddles also migrated to the mountains of NC and TN from Maryland and PA by the way of VA. If I dig up any more I'll let you know. In the meantime keep me posted on your progress.

Hi Bob, >Weather my Mary and her parents James Riddle and Jane Br????n are >descendants of this branch of Riddles, remains to be seen. Obviously is >was the Britton connection that drew my attention since I've been unable >to find out much about them. Boy it sure looks like you have your work cut out for you. I know the feeling well. I spent about 10 years looking for the father of my g-grandfather Smith Riddle. I tried everything I could think of. This was before much genealogy information was available via computer. When the 1870 NC census index became accessible on computer CD I ran a search for Smith Riddle and he magically appeared as Riddle Smith along with his father Nathaniel! I just about feel out of my chair. It had never occurred to me to search for Riddle Smith. Apparently the census enumerator made a slight error. <g> Long story short, after that I was fortunate to discover Dick Riddle and we have been corresponding via email since. I think we are 5th cousins. As I mentioned before Dick does the research and I just put it on the net. I won't tell you how long Dick has been searching for the father of our three Riddle brothers but he is the second generation who has worked on this dilemma! >Jim, with regards to my Boone's: John Boone was b. May 21, 1852. His >death certificate list his parents as "UNKNOWN", but shows John born in >TN. He was a coalminer. I hope you are a patient man. It seems that every time you answer one question two more appear. The Boone family that I was referring to is apparently related to "The" Daniel Boone family. How they got to western NC escapes me but cataloging the Boone families will probably be just as difficult as sorting the various Riddle lines. <g> If you would like I would be happy to add your name and line to the Riddle researchers page on my web site. Maybe you will discover a long lost cousin on the Internet who will have all the answers to your questions? Anyway it's a nice thought. <g> Please keep in touch and let us know how your are progressing. Jim jimhartung@erols.com jimcal@bigfoot.com http://www.erols.com/jimhartung

When you belong to the Digest mode you have to open each email separately. My computer brings up a screen and asks me each time if I want to "open it" or "save it ot disk" and warns me that there could be a virus attached. I'm using the latest edition of Microsoft Internet Explorer. I have seen some subject lines, like "unidentified subject", "guess what", etc. I just delete the ones I can't be certain about. I probably miss a good message once in a while but better safe than sorry! I do think we need to be careful. We don't want to spread a virus to everyone on the list. Sincerely - Joyce

Most revered, feared, and cantankerous ones, allow me to tell a brief virus story that happened today to me but that I think has ended successfully. On another list, I received this morning an e-mail response from a lady who does great, free look-ups, and I noticed that there was a second e-mail from this same lady with an identical "Subject" line as the first e-mail. The second e-mail contained only an attached file which I did NOT download because I didn't know it was coming and I didn't know what was in it. There was no text from the look-up lady indicating that she had sent it and no text identifying what was in the attachment. Her first e-mail contained no clue that she intended to send me a downloadable file. The attached file was named "Happy99.exe" (I've been told that viruses have the .exe extent, too), and I thought it odd to have received the attachment with no mention of it by the originator. I sent an e-mail back to the look-up lady who confirmed that she did not send me an attached file. The lady then called Microsoft support and found that this "Happy99.exe" was indeed a virus, and that Microsoft had published a description and most importantly a CURE on its support website. The most insidious characteristic of this virus is that it attaches itself to outgoing e-mail without the knowledge of the sender, and it looks like a follow-up message from the sender. Nice way to get around, huh. It starts doing strange stuff to your machine the second time it's executed. My computer was not infected with this virus even though I opened the e-mail to which it was attached. I was also not infected as the e-mail sat in the "old mail" queue after it had been opened. I eventually deleted the e-mail with virus file attached and have confirmed that my machine does not have the files the virus creates when it is downloaded. The key is DON'T DOWNLOAD an attached file if you weren't expecting to get one, especially if the filename ends in .exe, a bell-ringer for problems! Also, don't automatically believe that an attached file is OK because it came from someone you know. Before you download the file, confirm that your acquaintance actually sent you something. My first virus -- I shed a tear -- dodged the bullet. Could have been a lot worse. Thought you should know. Dan Hayden

These are Riddle ancestors, but my sister named most all her children her husband's middle name, even the girls. One is Paulette, one is Paula, and most all the boys have names with Paul as the first or second name. Then the children carried it down through giving it to the grandchildren. wrakj

Yes these were William McKinley, William Wesley, and Willliam Esley, None of them used the name William.

Bob, I am doing some research in trying to find a connection between our Riddle lines. No luck so far but I am still at it. The question of how or why my g-grandfather was named Benjamin Britton Riddle is still unknown at this time but I feel sure that "Britton" or "Brittan" was from some connection to or with the Brittan family, which one I am still researching. Shirley Skeen Borden of CA seems to think that it may have come from a RIDDLE/ARROWOOD connection to a Brittan family. I am trying to find my notes on this subject. I'll let you know what I find. As far as the "Britton" name being used in my Riddle family, only two people have been given that name. James Riddle (1832-1867) and Elizabeth Hensley (1831-1865) named their son, my g-grandfather Benjamin Britton Riddle (1851-1928) and B.B. Riddle named his son William Britton Riddle (1912-1989). I wish that I could be of more help. I'll let you know if I find any connection.

Hi, It is especially common to name a second child the name of a child who died. Since William b. 1802 died, it is no surprise to find William b. 1814 in the same family.

I've seen that done with names in other families. Give the same 1st name to more than one child and then a different middle name Sometimes they would name one , "Mary", then another "Polly", and Polly is supposed to be a nickname for Mary, usually is.
