    1. [RIDDLE-L] natives

    3. Granny Red Crow Barker et. al., > ps Some may not know this but there were natives in the Riddle line We recently heard that our ancestor, Lorenzo Dow Riddle, was married to a Comanche in Texas and had 8 or 9 children with her. We're trying to confirm this and see whether our Henry Hampton Riddle derives from that union or another. And is that the same Lorenzo Dow Riddle, the youngest of 9 children of John Riddle b. 1802, who lived in Owen County, KY? And knowing that Henry Hampton Riddle had 6 children, it looks as though we have some prolific ancestors there! I read a fine piece about Comanches on The Handbook of Texas Online: http://www.tsha.utexas.edu/handbook/online/articles/view/CC/bmc72.html There's another possible tie to natives that I've heard about and that was in the person of the wife of William Riddle of Scott County, KY, Hannah Commack b. 1785 in Virginia. Still on that trail ... John Weiser (with Cathie Riddle Weiser)
