Mike there might not be any connection at all. But in talking to my newly found Riddle cousin in Missouri this past week. He told me of the passing of Vernon Riddle. Vernon was living in Brookfield, Linn Co. Missouri last year when I talked to him. He was in his 80's. He was one fine person. I could tell that just from talking to him and my cousin confirmed it. How did they become aquainted since they werent kin. Fishing! Anyway in talking to Vernon he told me his people were from Browning Missouri which if I remember correctly is in Linn county also. Stan
