>From "The History of Washington County, Georgia" by Ella Mitchell 1924 Chapter Vlll, Titled, "RIDDLEVILLE". The beginning of this quaint typical Middle Georgia town was due to the generosity of a pioneer, Mr Anderson RIDDLE, who came to Georgia in 1815 and settled near the town that bears his name. He was an ardent advocate of education, so when the opportunity came he offered to the Mount Vernon Baptist Association the land, three hundred acres, and money to help build the school, to be called Mount Vernon Institute. The town that was built around the Institute was called RIDDLEVILLE. It was incorporated by an Act of Legislature in 1859, at the same time Mount Vernon Institute was chartered. One provision of the charter was that no intoxicants could be sold within a radius of three miles of the school, unless by vote of a majority of the best citizens. Of course the outcome was - no liquor, even in the day when it was sold at every crossroad and frequently several grog shops still nearer together. The Institute was governed by a board of fifteen men selected by the association. The first chairman was Rev. W. I. Harley of Sparta, the secretary Rev. J. R. Taylor, the first teacher Prof. T. J. Evans. About this time James A Page gave twenty acres to the school. Until the outbreak of the War Between the States the school flourished. Then for four years there were but few sessions. In 1891 at a meeting of the association the title of the school property was conveyed to the Baptist Church at RIDDLEVILLE. The town grew slowly because remote from the railroad. It was not invaded by Sherman's troops. Of late years it has developed into an enterprising town; many of our prosperous farmers and business men live within its limits, among which are the Fulghums, Bryans, Pages, Pates and RIDDLEs. The first mayor and aldermen were members of the Mt. Vernon Association. Mr W. H. Fulghum, a veteran of the War Between the States, made RIDDLEVILLE his home for many years. He was a man who always stood for the right. In sorrow or trouble the community turned to him for consolation or advice. Perhaps the above will help someone on their family history search. I enjoyed the above article from this book and hope others will as well. J Parker

Danny, From what I have heard about a "Silver Spoon" means the family had quite a bit of money or were very well off. So I guess that leaves me out. Ha! I do have something to tell you about a "Green Riddle" picture that came out in our newspaper yesterday morning. The picture was taken in 1907 with a group of other people. The picture was taken at the corner of Third and Lamar streets. Mr. Riddle looks to be fairly young and all six of the group are well dressed. It was taken at the Resident Boarding House on the outside. If anyone would like a copy I will be very happy to send a copy to you. Eva

Bruce---I am sure that all of us understand that---we are all in this thing together as far as I am concerned---you are welcome to anything I have in my files----was there supposed to be an attachment to your e-mail with the data?---Jim Riddle

Here is a paragraph from Dorotha's book "Supplement To One Riddle Family Tree" " Dr. Bright lived behind the Riddle home in Baxter Springs, Kansas. Dad's sister Iva Riddle worked for him and his first wife at one time and after the Doctor's first wife passed away, Dr. Bright asked Iva Riddle to marry him but she declined. Dr. Bright's first wife was a Riddle and she had a brother who lived in Texas that came to Baxter Springs often to visit his nephew's and niece. This Texas Riddle had red-hair and he told Nathan Riddle that his family had a silver spoon that had been handed down in their family since the reign of "Bloody" Mary Queen of Scots. Dad and this Texas Riddle often exchanged family stories and they both believed that their Riddle families were related." Has anyone ever heard of this SILVER SPOON??? Danny Riddle ddr45@msn.com

Hi, Do you have any info on William? My gggrandfather was from Northern Ireland and immigrated to Canada. His name was William Oliver. Thanks for any info Kathy in Pa

Marie----One other thing that pops out---the names of the children of John and Margaret, both male and female, strike an eerie similarity to the names ofthe children of our John and Mary Higgins---thanks again----Jim

Hi Marie---Thanks very much for the quick response on the children of John and Margaret in Ireland. Do you know the year of their son John's birth, and is his death recorded? Many of sus are searching for the origin of our ancestor John Riddle from Laurens, SC. Everything I know about him leads me to believe that he (or his father) came from Northern Ireland in the area you mention. The age would seem to fit. Anything you can tell me about son John would be appreciated. ---Jim

Marie----do you have the names and dob of the children of John Riddle and Margaret Moore?--thanks---Jim Riddle

Carol, I have had the opportunity to visit your beautiful Rogue River and take the boat trip up the river----next time I am there I will look up my namesake, who with a name like that surely got elected---Jim Riddle, Naples, FL--descendent of John Riddle and Mary Higgins, Harrison Riddle, etc

Dear Princess Susie, Just a little note to say that I love the little private chats just between all of us Riddle's from time to time.
