    3. My husband's great-great grandmother was Caroline Riddle. Her father was Jeremiah Riddle and in the HISTORY OF UNION COUNTY KENTUCKY is called the founder of Morganfield, Ky. He was from Loudon County, Virginia, and received a land grant from General Daniel Morgan; hence the name Morganfield. Caroline was among the younger of Jeremiah's children. She was married first to a Henry Fellows in Morganfield. I can't find anymore on him after that marriage; later she married Samuel Hunt. In the 1850 Cesus she and my husband's great-grandmother are listed as living with her brother George. My husband's great-grandmother's name was Leila Hunt. In 1867 she married James Wiley Bell and in 1870, they were still living in Union County and had a 6 months old daughter. Jeremiah was called "Uncle Jerry" and lived to be an old man. The HISTORY OF UNION COUNTY KENTUCKY stated that the Riddles (and all various spellings) came to the new country in their own vessels, bring their own servants, furniture, machinery, etc. and have always been prominent in the areas where they lived.
