M brick wall -- My gggrandfather was James Riddle born Oct. 27, 1823 in Scotland (we think). He married Marguerite Pennman who was from Toronto, Canada. They lived in Detroit when first married and he "ran" on a steamship from Detroit to Duluth. At one time he was assigned to the ship called "Lady Elgin" where he was a steward. Lady Elgin sank, but fortunately he didn't make the run that time. He and his wife then moved to Toledo, Ohio and lived there from about1860 to 1878? They then moved to Lenawee County, MI. Their children James, Harriet, Joseph and Janett were all born in Toledo. At one time they ran a hotel in Toledo and then bought a large house and took in boarders. He died in Minneapolis, but was buried in Adrian, Michigan. I am decended from Harriet, who married Frederick Meyers. Does anyone have any knowledge of this family? Thanks for any help you can give me - Joyce joycevan@gulftel.com
