Hi Folks, I think I have a breakthrough on my brick wall....a nice librarian in the genealogy dept. of a library in Van Zandt Co, Texas saw my Hunt Co. query and posted this: 1860 census of Hunt County, Texas, page 336: Henry A. Riddle, 35, M, Wagoner and Farmer, 600, born in North Carolina Mary E. 31, F, born in Tennessee. William A. 11, M, born in Texas. Sarah E. 10, F, born in Texas. John G. 9, M. born in Texas (I'm almost sure this is my ggrandfather as the age and location are correct). Also, in this household: John Hill 24, M, laborer on farm, born in Mo. Addison Sharp, 25, M. laborer on farm born in Tn. Don't know if these two are related or just worked for them. John G.'s death certificate says his father was Alick and he was born in Pa but that info was given by a daughter who didn't necessarily know all the facts. Does anyone have any connection to this family....this is my first big lead in 5 years!! Doris Moore [email protected]
