wrak (and Ed), This Randolph Riddle is My Ancestor. >From what I found on Google, and my father confirmed ORALLY is: 1.Tyre Riddle VA and NC m. Clarissa ? 2. Asa Riddle b1790 d 1861 NC and VA m Mary East 3.Randolph Riddle NC and beginning of Missouri Riddles I have very little info here (out of Virginia?) m Malinda Jones 4.Robert Lee Riddle Missouri Riddles a little more info m. Laura D Pierce 5. Leonard Earl Riddle Missouri Riddles not much more m. Cora May Hazlett 6. Robert Andrew Riddle Missouri m. Dorthy May Myers (Straub, 1st marriage) 7. Robert Earl Riddle (me) Colorado born Asa Riddle had, according to what I could find, 11 children. If you remember back several weeks I posted, from my dad, a Theory about Seven brothers who all headed west. This was the bunch my Dad was talking about. Some made it as far as "back to VA" wherehence their father had come, and farther, as my gg grandfather Randolph Riddle (and it appears a brother, William J. Riddle) to Sullivan County, MO. The farthest back I can personally CONFIRM is Robert Lee Riddle in Green Castle, MO in1898-99. But I am just starting. I think the RANDOLPH RIDDLE in which you refer to is TYRE RIDDLE 's brother. He moved a little south and west with his family (TN) Please correct me if I'm wrong. >From what I found 'tis a stinking mess of Tyre, Asa,William, Robert, Lee, Randolph, John and a couple other masculine names. Six males in two generations can have the same name. Didn't they know that somebody might try to sort this out? Rob't (yeah, Robert again) (and so is my eldest) :-) oops ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, March 18, 2001 7:41 PM Subject: Re: Randolph Riddle Robert is this your ancestor also? He is supposed to be my GGGGrandfather and if we are speaking ot the same one he is married to a Jemimah Hawkins. You wouldn't have any information on his son Benjamin and Francis Hawkins Riddle would you. Benjamin is my GGGrandfather and his son James B. is my GGrandfather. I am also trying to locate some of Benjamin and Francis children's children and on down if I can, Hope the Google web helped you. wrak
