Joseph L. Riddle was the twin of my ancestor Isaac William Riddle Born: April 1777 (Montgomery County, Virginia) Died: 30 November 1861 (Titus County, Texas) Married: 21 May 1801 (Russell County, Tennessee?) Some unreliable sources had their birth year as 1775 but it was 1777. Jodie, the twins went with their mother (Happy Rogers Riddle) to Tennessee where she remarried. A lot of families, caught on the wrong side of the American Revolution, went to Kentucky and Tennessee to leave behind the past. Happy died about 1784 in Kyles Ford, Hawkins Co., Tennessee at about the age of 36. The twins' father was William Riddle who was hung in the Spring of 1781 in either Watauga Co. or Wilkesboro, North Carolina by a corrupt colonial leader (yes there were good and bad on both sides, it was not as black and white as the textbooks tell us). There is more to this story than just William being on the Loyalist side during the Revolution. Charles

I have been reading your mail about the Willliam Riddle family.b 1740 (or earlier). I am a direct descendant of John Riddle, b 10 Feb 1775, M. Sarah (Sary) Johnson. John is an older brother of your Isaac. I believe I have corresponded with you before. My question is - have you confirmed where William, b 1740, was born? I show either Flatt River, Orange County, Va or Scotland. I cannot find a ship record of his coming to the Americas. When did your Isaac move to Texas? I have him still living in Mo 1834 where he voted along with Jesse and Emanuel. Was he married to Anna Grizzel and Grusida Gisser?
