Searching for parents/siblings of Elizabeth RIDDLE b. 1826. The first document that we have found is her son's death certificate, John Long. It gives his mother, Elizabeth RIDDLE, from KY. Also have found 1860 census with Elizabeth Hurt living with John Long b. 1811 OH and a son John b. 1858 AR. Her first husband was said to have been a physician from VA of KY with the name of Hurt or maybe Hurd. He died in the Civil War at the Battle of Pea Ridge. Their home had been turned into a hospital since they lived near the battle site. She had to leave her home quickly because the Carpetbaggers were approaching. We believe she married this John Long and later divorced him. In 1870 she and her son were living in Grand Rapids, MI. She was listed as Elizabeth Long with son, John Long b. 1858 AR. The family has John's school graduation certificate from Grand Rapids in 1873. Elizabeth married a Cyrus Sauer(s) who died about 1875/6. In 1880 census she is living with her so! n, John in MI. She is now Elizabeth Sauer and in 1881 they moved to Fresno, CA. They are listed in the Fresno City Directory. Her son married Margaret Hurley in Phoenix, AZ. In the 1900 census Liz Sauer is living with them in their Phoenix home. We have traced her to Phoenix, AZ d. 1901. Possibility, that the family was from southeastern part of MO, AR, KY, or OH. Any information is appreciated and you may contact me at cactuspatch@charter.net Thanks, Jim Long
