    1. Re: [RIDDLE-L] 1880 Cumberland Co., KY Census
    2. Hi Mary, I currently live in Hampton, Virginia. However, my husband was born and raised in Cumberland Co., KY. Now, the information that I have is taken from Federal Mortality Census Schedules 1860-1870-1880 Abstract and Index: Adair, Clinton, Cumberland, Metcalfe, and Monroe Counties, Kentucky. By R. N. SMITH and Laura Lee BUTLER. Copyrighted 1975. They state definitely that the # given is the Family # (not the Household#). The information of the three RIDDLE children is listed under a separate heading entitled ADDITIONS TO COUNTY FROM "P" RETURNS (Is this physicians returns?) then under the subtitle District #3, Enumeration District #35. I'll type verbatim. 167. RIDDLE, Sarah; 1; f; w; Ky; Ky; Tenn.; May; flux; 1 (last # is days sick) 167. RIDDLE, Henry C.; 4; m; w; Ky.; Ky.; Tenn.; May; Flux; 4. 167. RIDDLE, John L.; 2, m, Ky., Ky., Sep., Flux, 2. As I believe you're aware, my husband is a descendant of William "The Tory" RIDDLE through his son Joseph, his son Nathan A. R., his son John M., his son Sam Daniel, his son Baker Riley RIDDLE who is my husband's maternal grandfather. I am trying to look at every source for RIDDLE's I can get my hands on in the immediate area (Cumberland, Clinton, Monroe Co., KY). Therefore, I am having to also try to sort out the descendancy of Joseph's brother James as well. Not much to go on yet. I am curious as to whether or not you agree with Rodney that the Alabama RIDDLE's are more than likely descendants of Cumberland Co., KY RIDDLE's. I know just this morning someone (Linda RIDDLE) posted on Alabama RIDDLE's and a couple given names are quite familiar to me (i.e. Ransom and Lucinda). Thank you so much for this lookup. Perhaps the originals will give us a clue to whom their parents are. I'm doubtful their parents were Nathan RIDDLE and Mary PIERCE. Has to be grandparents. Maybe we'll never know. Thanks again Mary. I look forward to hearing from you. Robin L. Poindexter
