I was in Venango County, PA.

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!!!! Linda Riddle Lane drgnfly@primenet.com

Hi, Well, I know I've seen a James Robert Riddle. In fact, I just did in some book this past week. But because it was not in Henrico Co., Va I ignored it. I will watch more carefully and let you know if I see it again. Mary At 12:28 AM 7/5/1999 EDT, you wrote: >Thanks for the info Mary.

I just heard from him today and he said what he had tried so far didn't work so he's checking out something else. I didn't give him much to go on though. The only document I had was the marriage certificate from N.C, and that only had their names and the name of the person that married them. I am going to order the Riddle,Ruddle, etc. book, maybe there will be more info in that. > Thanks again,Charlotte A. > > >==== RIDDLE Mailing List ==== >----------------RIDDLE Researchers Discussion List----------------- > Want to unsubscribe, and did not save your instructions? > Visit the RIDDLE Researchers Discussion List webpage to see how! > http://medgen.iupui.edu/~rebecca/roots/riddle.html > > > >

Bob, You've come to the right place! Go to my web site at http://www.erols.com/jimhartungand and follow the links to the Riddle Family and you will find a few thousand related Riddles. The father of Benjamin Tyre Riddle was John Riddle born about 1755. Also you might want to read the Riddle Newsletters that are also there. My second great-grandfather and your Benjamin Tyre were brothers. Dick Riddle of Winston-Salem, NC is the expert when dealing with this family. He and his late uncle have spent years tracing this Riddle line. BTW, where are your from. My grandfather Walter Riddle immigrated to PA with his good friend Grover Boone from western NC just after the turn of the century. Looking forward to hearing from you!

Hi Cathie, I found a reference in "The Over The Mountain Men" to the fact that Cornelius Riddle was killed by Indians along the Cumberland River. He had killed some turkeys, hung them in a tree, and gone off hunting. When he returned to get the turkeys, the Indians were waiting for him and killed him. He may have been Cornelius Ruddle, as I saw a few days ago in the Family Group Record of Isaac Ruddle that his son Cornelius Ruddle died in TN about that time.

Hi Robin, I took some time yesterday at the Library and looked up the 1880 Mortality Schedule for Cumberland Co., KY. Frustratingly enough, it does not give the names of the parents, as you had indicated. I am not sure how to figure that out. I did notice that John T. Riddle's parents were both born in KY, but Sarah's and Henry C. Riddle's records say their mother was born in Tenn. and their father was born in KY, so these children were not all of the same parents if the Census taker got it right. I copied some information for Cumberland Co., KY from three records you might be interested in. Please send me your address and I'll mail them to you.

Hi, I checked my files and found I copied two deeds from Obion Co., TN. 1) John B. Riddle, 200 acres, p. 184, Entry no.50, p. 38. Aug. 16, 1847. The land was on the Mississippi River. 2) Asa Riddle, 200 acres, p. 182, Entry no. 44, p. 34. Feb. 22, 1847. West of Reelfoot Lake. Land was by Wm. E.

Hi Charlotte A., I have seen James Robert Riddle in records. It's stuck in my mind because I am always trying to make a tie between William Riddle (tory) and James Roberts. But I don't know where I've seen it. The Orange Co., NC Riddle's ended up in Chatham Co., NC and that's the 3 Dorothea Marsh books we've been talking about here on the List. Trouble is, the books are not indexed. But you can see copies on microfilm at a FHC.

What part of PA, Pam? Pat

Hello Riddle Researcher’s, I’m searching for information on the Descendants of Benjamin Tyre Riddle and hoping one of you out there might be a descendant. All I know at this point are three brief generation’s: (1) Benjamin Tyre Riddle (2) James Riddle b. abt 1832 d. abt 1868 (3) James Britton Riddle I’m curious to know if James (2) was married to a Jane Britton ? My gg grandmother was Mary Isabilla Riddle b. 30 Aug 1859, Soddy, Hamilton Co., TN d. 05 Aug 1930, Petros, Morgan Co., TN. Her death certificate list a James Riddle as her father and a Jane Br----n as her mother. The middle part of her mother’s last name is faded and unreadable, but the 4th and 5th letter’s both appear to be the same and extend higher then either of the unreadable letter’s on either side. I believe they are T’s, possibly making it Britton. Is there anyone who might have some information on this family? Thanks, Bob Boone ___________________________________________________________________ Get the Internet just the way you want it. Free software, free e-mail, and free Internet access for a month!

Thanks for the info Mary. From all the emails posted lately I know I am not the only one with a problem searching for my Riddle branch, but I am with the third genealogist now and he doesn't seem to be able to find out any thing either. I just heard from him today and he said what he had tried so far didn't work so he's checking out something else. I didn't give him much to go on though. The only document I had was the marriage certificate from N.C, and that only had their names and the name of the person that married them. I am going to order the Riddle,Ruddle, etc. book, maybe there will be more info in that. Thanks again,Charlotte A.

--WebTV-Mail-19620-1747 Content-Type: Text/Plain; Charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7Bit Hi List! Yes, this is true on another side of my family as well a Anny Scott, gave one of her sons the middle name of Scott! She may have been part Irish. I'm thinking, as I listen to all of you! It's neat hearing about all these things on the list!

My great grandmother's Irish maiden name was "Erety" and four of her 10 children received "Erety" as a middle name. So did my mother, and so did I.
