Hi! New Braunfels is not that far from me. About 45 miles going thru Bastrop. I like going to the Outlet Mall to shop. My daughter and I go few times a year. We live between LaGrange and Giddings in the boonies. I haven't done a whole lot of research on my Riddle lineage as yet. Still working on Head, Peavler & Cordray lines along with my husband's family - Carrico's. My grandparents Oral Riddle / Lavena McCollum Riddle are buried in North Salem Cemetery there in North Salem. North Salem Cemetery was originally owned and land donated by a Head for the cemetery location and was originally named 'Head Cemetery' until sometime in early 1899 / 1900's when name changed to North Salem Cemetery. From what little I have gathered on my lineage of Riddle, I believe we do have some lines the same as the name of John Riddle is familiar with my Grandfather Oral Riddle lineage. I am going to have to dig thru paperwork and see what all / little I do have on my Riddle lines. I have a cousin named Donald Riddle that lives in New Brunswick, MO.- retired schoolteacher. His father was [Oral] Eldon Riddle. He [Uncle Eldon] also buried in North Salem Cemetery. I have probably confused you completely now. ?? But I do know we have some lineages the same, I am sure & going to dig paperwork out and go thru it again. Then will let you know. OK? Be careful on your drive back to Texas for your visit. Until later. I will be in contact with you.

Now Rockford - it really gets cold - hurrah for Texas. I know well where Macon County, MO is but have no one in my direct Riddle Line from there (That I know of). I am a descendant of John Riddle (whom is a son of William Thomas Riddle - I think), then George Drummond Riddle, Mason Varnier Riddle, Guy Drummond Riddle and my father Roscoe Earl Riddle. They all lived in the Loraine/Quincy, Adams County, Illinois area. Keep it nice and warm down there so I can get out of San Antonio with my new car next week.
