My husband's great-great grandmother was Caroline Riddle. Her father was Jeremiah Riddle and in the HISTORY OF UNION COUNTY KENTUCKY is called the founder of Morganfield, Ky. He was from Loudon County, Virginia, and received a land grant from General Daniel Morgan; hence the name Morganfield. Caroline was among the younger of Jeremiah's children. She was married first to a Henry Fellows in Morganfield. I can't find anymore on him after that marriage; later she married Samuel Hunt. In the 1850 Cesus she and my husband's great-grandmother are listed as living with her brother George. My husband's great-grandmother's name was Leila Hunt. In 1867 she married James Wiley Bell and in 1870, they were still living in Union County and had a 6 months old daughter. Jeremiah was called "Uncle Jerry" and lived to be an old man. The HISTORY OF UNION COUNTY KENTUCKY stated that the Riddles (and all various spellings) came to the new country in their own vessels, bring their own servants, furniture, machinery, etc. and have always been prominent in the areas where they lived. Geneva A. Ellington lived. Geneva A. Ellington

Hi, That was true, at least in my Irish family in Bridgeton, New Jersey. 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.

Russ, This may not have anything to do with what you are saying but we had a speaker that spoke of Irish ancestory. How they named their children after they married. >From the speech we heard each middle name of the people of Irish descent would use the maiden name of the mother for her children's middle name. wrakj

--WebTV-Mail-32074-1297 Content-Type: Text/Plain; Charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7Bit Hello: Riddle researchers! Has anyone any "Riddle Women" that are lost in the fabric of history, as to where they went/what became of them who they married, etc... Or, any individuals with (Riddle) - "middle names"(?) and you can't make a connection with the surname. Then perhaps the case is a wives 'maiden name' was Riddle!! As is the case as follows. Maiden names have often found there way into childtens', middle names! If so, I hope these two fit the bill for somebody?? On (Generation # 7 & 8) of the attached "Descendants of..." Family tree, there are two RIDDLE women there. Namely, a Mary "Polly" Riddle & Martha Riddle! If this happens be anyone's Riddle women do let the list know? Marry Riddle: Born 22, June 1792; Died 19 May 1819. Martha Riddle: Born 18, April 1796; Died 17, August 1832. Both women were at one time married to a Peter Perkins Woodbury, in or around New Hampshire, abt 1820 and there afterwards. Martha's children are listed there, two of which are curiously named: William Riddle Woodbury, and Martha Riddle Woodbury. This Peter also, later had a third wife (not a Riddle). Both Mary "Polly" & Martha, were sisters, and were the daughters of a "William Riddle and Janet Gilchrist". Hope this helps someone! Maybe put it in a Database if someone is doing that as talked about, then if it doesn't help some now, perhaps at another time?

Everyone who is interested in AL ancestry...pay attention to the ALABAMA ARCHIVES: MILITARY RECORDS site that Robin posted. So much for "early to bed" tonight. This reminded me.....I ran across a story of a Riddle who was too old to fight in the Civil War so he went to the coast and harvested salt for the Confederate troops. Any of you familiar with this? Happy, happy 4th to everyone. I am still so new on this search that I am in awe of what our ancestors endured to bring us to where we are today. My grandmother was a TRUE daughter of the confederacy. My greatgrandfather fought in the Civil War. My ggggrandfather fought in the Revolutionary War and was a prisoner in Sav. Ga. Ate grain that spilled from the horses feedings to stay alive.I lived with my grandparents in Albertville, Al. during WWII as my Dad fought and was ultimately a prisoner of war and Mother was a "Rosie the Riveter" in Gadsden, Al. I feel I was born with one foot in one century and the other in next. I wish all of us could have the data and personal stories that I have from my maternal side....my Riddle side has been a pain in the wazhoo.....as it has been to many others. Do you realize I had to take my grandchildren to a farm to show them how vegetables actually grow? This has nothing and everything to do with genealogy...I hope we all look around and do a personal inventory of our blessings....then, tomorrow, offer thanks for where we are today. I thank you all who have helped me so much and I promise to keep being a bee in your bonnet. I WILL find the family of Thomas William Riddle. He was a remarkable man because my father said so. Meanwhile, my unproven cousins, have a safe and happy fourth.

Danny, What list are you on with Sandra Newberry Long? She is my husband's cousin from his Lane line!!! (Gosh, I love these mystery plots!!) We are trying to find my husbands gggrandparents...parents of John Robertson Lane. This made me search out my publication- Profiles of Pioneer Families in the Valley Mills Area- Published in the Valley Mills Tribune 1974-1978 Compiled and indexed by Gerald & Jo Meyer for the Bosque County Collection 1998......This is in Texas. I am listing any Riddle mentioned and any date connected. If the names fit any of you just let me know and I will contribute the full text... Noah Riddles Ned Riddle Georgia Lou Sockwell married Wyatt William Riddle April 15, 1906 and tier children were Marion Anderson, Roy, Lloyd, Virgie, Artie, Georgia Loveta & Wyatt William Riddle. Wyatt William died 22 Dec. 1960( They apparently came from Cave Spring, GA., and Anniston, Ala. There is a very poor picture titled "Party on Bosque" that has Noah Riddle in it. I tried to pick him out thru family resemblance....and I did!!!

These two Riddle ladies were in fact married to Peter Perkins Woodbury, Jr. They belong to "Riddles of Bedford, NH #1 as listed in the "Ancient Rydales" on page 230. Some of this family is buried in "Biddeford Center Cemetery" in Biddeford, NH. This land for the cemetery was donated by an early Riddle settler and the town was built by many Riddles who had numerous business. Many of the early fine homes are still standing and some belong to descendants of Riddles. Biddeford, NH is located close to Manchester, the largest city in the state. Biddeford is typical New England town and the Biddeford Center Cemetery is one of the prettiest in the state. The Woodbury tomb is one of the largest in this cemetery. Peter Woodbury was born in Francestown, NH about 20 miles away from Biddeford and is the town I grew up in. Most of the information in "Ancient Ryedales" is also in "The History of Bedford" published around 1900 and has wealth of information in it. "History of Bedford, NH" is also in the LDS libruary in Salt Lake City. Happy Forth of July Phil Riddle
