Hi - am making a trip to Nashville, Tn. to the State Archives and if anyone would like for me to look up a certain name, I will try to do it while Im down there this week....Ive been following the Wm. (Tory) line ever since I joined, even tho it isnt my direct line....have found some Osborne's who married into the Riddle family, and am hoping I can find my Hulda Osborne who was born ca 1804 in Ky. and she married Thomas Riddle who was born ca 1794 in Ky....Will leave around 9:30am, but will be checking my email later on tonight. I feel like the Osbornes are somehow related to my Hulda Osborne.....Loretta1125@msn.com ----- Original Message ----- From: Robert T Boone III <rtb27@juno.com> To: <RIDDLE-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, July 11, 1999 3:59 PM Subject: Re: [RIDDLE-L] Riddle/Britton Connection > > To Richard Riddle and all, > > Thanks for all the great information and input on my inquiry on Benjamin > Tyre Riddle and the Riddle/ Britton connection.
