Thank you for this Ridley source. Several of us have been working hard to identify the parents of George Ridley. I found good material in the TN State Archives last week which confirms that he does not descend from the Nathaniel Ridley family of Isle of Wight Co. and Southhampton Co., VA. George Ridley told his children he was born at Guilford Co. Courthouse in NC. His children said he was born in VA. He received land from James Butler, who called him "his nephew" in about 1750 - Amelia Co., VA. George Ridley was on the Holston River by 1769, and went to Nashville with James Robertson to settle the area. His descendants were important in the community.

Robin - all of the info you sent is enlightening, exciting and NEW to me. My Dad's sister (Irene) asked me if I had any info about their father Ollie Brown so she will be so delighted when I share this with her. No one has been able to piece anything together before. I'm truly amazed that you have found so much and I thank you from the bottom of my Riddle/Brown/Poindexter heart. My snail-mail address is 15760 W. 143rd St., Lockport, IL 60441 and I would really love to have a copy of the article you referred to on the RIDDLE-L list. Thank you so much!!! Jan Brown Wiesner

That's a good question which I would not have thought of. I don't know anything about him. I found the information while researching another of my lines and made a copy of it to bring home and post thinking someone might could use it. The spelling in the index was Riddle and I am assuming that was the way it is on the land grant. I will look more for him the next time I go to the Historical Society and internet resources to see what I can come up with. Does anyone else know anything about this Cornelius Riddle?

Hi Mary, thanks for your help. I have been in touch with Steve Riddle and although we are not of the same family, he has been kind enough to offer helpful suggestions. I sent him an email recently and asked if he got the book, The Riddle, Ruddle,Riddel Trail by Ms Benson, if he would look up one name for me and if it was in the book then I would buy the book for myself. Well before I could hear from him I got an email from Ms Bensons neice, J. Penn, offering to do the lookup for me, which she did. The James R. Riddle she found in the book had all of the same info of my greatgrandfather, except he was born in Orange Co.,NC. Maybe you saw the name in that book?? But then I have seen the same name too but at a different time and place. Charlotte A.

Here's my line, Pam. William Jackson Riddle B. 8 May 1831, in Indiana County, PA. ON his death certificate, it states that he is the son of William, born in Scotland. Mother's name is unknown, but she was supposedly born in Ireland. William married Mary Caroline McSparren in 1853 and they moved to Jefferson County, PA. In about 1885 they moved to Foxburg, PA. In the 1900 Census we find Mary Caroline with one of the daughters and in the 1910 census we find her in Oil City with her daughter Margaret Buzard. William was still in Foxburg at the time... Here are their children's names: Henry, Margaret, William E., James L. Carrie Jane, John Dowling, and an infant who died after a couple days. Here's Steve's website: http://www.familytreemaker.com/users/r/i/d/Steve-Riddle/ Hope maybe you can find some connection. I'm also working with a girl who just got started. Her Riddles came from Westmoreland/Allegheny County and settled in the south-eastern corner of Butler County. Their names were almost identical to the names found in Steve's family. Again, we've been unable to tie them together. Talk to you later, Pat

I have wondered if Cornelius RIDDLE was named for Cornelius ROBERTS since the family had close associations in VA????

Since it looks like there have ben quite a few new faces joining the list I will rise up out of my lurk to see if anyone can help us. Here is my line. David William Riddle Lori Hunsaker - William Robert Riddle (b. San Pedro 1942) Althea Jean Buckley - George Edward Riddle (b. Chicago 1910) Martha Lea Young - George Henery Riddle (b. Chicago 1886) Olive Kathryne Bluett - George Riddle (MI) - Margaret McKill - Samuel Riddle Jr. Unknown Now it would seem obvious that Samuel's father would also be named Samuel since the Samuel we have found is a Junior. We have a copy of a Land Grant signed by Pres. Martin Van Buren giving land to Samuel Jr. in the area of Detroit MI in 1837. Does anyone have a missing Samuel or have a family up in Michigan or Illinois? You can find more info on our line at www.riddlefamily.org The Surnames in our family line are: Riddle, Young, Bluett, McKill, Egan, Howard, Driscoll, Hollingsworth, Barr, Mugg, Byrum, Truax, Spriggs, Dickerson, Devore, Stonebreaker and Miser Dave R. |--------------------------------------------------------| | David W.

Steve, Let me know who some of your Riddles are. I will look them up in the cemetery and church record books I have. Also can check my History of Venenago County Books. My Riddles are listed in the Ancient Ryedale book. Starting with Matthew in 1743 from Ballyblack , Ireland. I have the line trace down to me. My mother grew up in Venenago County, my grandfather Robert Boyd Riddle (died at 94yrs of age) lived there his whole life and his home is owned by my brother. Butler is not far from there at all. Pam

Something happened today and I need to say this. I am so new on this search that I sometimes feel I have nothing to contribute. If any of you have proven marriage records, etc. Go to that site on the USGenWeb and post them. I feel, and remember, I am new....that this is not a tit for tat. We are all searching and anything we can do for each other should be taken into consideration. We may give someone information and they may not have much to contribute NOW....but who knows what they will have later.....and look at all we have received from others who have posted before us. When I received copies of my grandparents and great grandparents marriage license....I posted them to the Marshall Co., AL marriages and when I stood up and walked away from my computer...I think I walked with a proud swagger. I had posted proven information. I HAD CONTRIBUTED. It's not a contest. It's a shared adventure with only one goal in mind....we can leave a legacy to our children, our grandchildren and so on. As we all know, it doesn't take too many years for our roots to become lost. We need to play Hansel and Gretel........scatter those crumbs and try to leave as much of a trail as you can for future generations. As far as my Riddles go.....my hat is off to you. You know, we're wonderful!!!!
