Hello, I saw your email that mentioned the Riddle family in Goochland Co.,VA. I am searching for my Riddle family in Virginia and would like to give you some names to see if you have any connection to my family. Here is what I have proven so far, starting with my ggrandfather. Riddle, James Robert b. 1840 in Virginia d.abt. 1907 in Petersburg,Va. Wife: Alma Jeanette Sheffield b.abt.1842 Sussex Co.,VA. Children: John William Peyton b. 1866 Sussex Co. Martha Virginia Everett Jefferson George Junius Edward Hattie Ruth Susan Lucretia James R. Riddle and Jeanette Sheffield m. 1865 Madison,NC - Halifax Co. I believe James had a brother, John F. Riddle b. 1840 in Virginia although I have no proof so far, just a genealogist report that said she found a listing of the two in Sussex Co. and they were listed as brothers. I have also been told by family members that this Riddle branch had Indian blood. I have been searching for ten years and have had help from cousins and three deferent genealogists but have not been able to get any info on my James R. I have his marriage certificate from North Carolina but it only has the name of the man that married them. His Civil War records show no names of his parents, no record of his death, but that was in the years that Virginia did not keep death records. Cannot find where he is buried Going under the assumption that he is John Flemming Riddle's brother then he may be related to the Riddle family in Goochland Co. I have the marriage certificate of John F. Riddle who married Martha Ramey on Dec.25,1856 in Surry Co.,VA. John listed his parents as being William R. Riddle and Elizabeth Wooldridge of Goochland Co.,VA. I think this would be proof of John's parents. But when I looked up the Riddell/Riddle family from Goochland Co. in the History of the Ancient Rydales by G. T. Ridlon, which is almost like a Riddle bible, I found William and Elizabeth Riddell and it listed them having six sons I believe but none by the name of John F. or James R. Riddle. This is most confusing. But I will list the children of John F. and Martha R. Riddle. They had seven children and I think they were all born in Sussex Co. as was the children of James and Jeannett. John and Martha Riddle Children: Ella Nora b. 1856 Mary Ann Joseph William Rosa Lee John Howard Mattie Lou Mark H. Please let me know if there is any connection to your Riddles, thank you.
