This is turning out to be a good week. I've discovered that there are at least 4 other Riddle researchers in the San Antonio area, have found Maria Forge, and bet on Tampa Bay. So that you can rule them out, I'll list the Riddle brothers, from PA, connected to Maria Forge, Talladega, AL, starting in 1843: Samuel Stuart Riddle, d Aug 1851, in AL, m. Maria Bradley, (for whom the Forge was named). Edmund Ross Riddle Walter Dulaney Riddle, b abt 1813 in Bedford, PA, d 16 June 1852, and who had a daughter named Laura. George M. Riddle, also associated with Rob Roy Forge. John Corbett Riddle, b 1816 in PA, and died 1885 in Pilot Point, TX, m Jane Joyce Thomas. James P. or Joseph P. Riddle was also a brother, but not connected to Maria Forge. He d 1836 in Goliad, TX Maria Forge, located on Talladega Creek, made iron which they stamped with the family crest, a boar's head. Riddle Mill Foundry was errected 1848 by Edward Spang of PA, and was located 1/2 mile from Maria Forge. I've had to turn off my spell check in order to post to the list, so hope there's no inventive spelling here. Gretchen Williams
