"ORPHANED" RIDDLE FAMILIES This compiled from members of Riddle-L@rootsweb.com June 30, 1999 The following are a group of researchers looking for connections for their Riddle ancestors who, at this point, dont seem to be connected to the known Riddle families of VA, NC, KY and PA. ARILLA CATHERINE RIDDLE, of Arkansas h4299@galstar.com Dennis & Caron Haynes Arilla Catherine Riddle married Thomas R. Trammell about 1853/54 in Gentry, Benton Co., Arkansas. Arilla was daughter of James Riddle born in TN and Catherine ? born in IL. James moved his family to AR in 1844. BARNETT RIDDLE of NC, AL, TX mddixon@gte.net Molly Dixon Barney (Barnett) Riddle found in the early 1800 census records for Chatham County, North Carolina, and he is listed in the Ridlon book. BUT...that Barney had a family in North Carolina and is said to have died in 1880. My Barney married my great-grandmother in Blount County, Alabama, in 1865, lived in Jackson County, Alabama, and then moved to Texas ca 1895-1900 and died shortly thereafter. He is buried in Bowie County, TX. Two Barneys? BENJAMIN FRANKLIN RIDDLE, born abt 1835 cookie@deseretonline.com Kristen Wight Benjamin Franklin Riddle born about 1835 lived in Wisconsin; married Caroline Elizabeth Simons? My gggrandmother is Harriet Evelyn Riddle b. 1866 in Lodi, Wisconsin. Her father Benjamin Franklin Riddle b. about 1835. The next link is sketchy. I believe his father Benjamin Franklin Riddle b. 1804 in Bedford and removed to Beloit, Wisocnsin. In Bedford records one source shows a Benjamin Franklin Riddle as child, another record shows a William Franklin Riddle as a child along with the other children both the above born in abt 1835 in Bedford. I am not having any luck in Wisconsin records. From there BF Riddle father is William Riddle and continues to Gawn Riddle. CHLOE RIDDLE, born abt 1810 NC?
