All this has my thoughts going since my Thomas William Riddle b:1861 is such a mystery...... Thomas William Riddle was still living with Rachel (Lemons) Riddle in the 1880 Marshall Co., AL. census , along with Margaret and Lucinda. Next door was Uriah (Urias?) Riddle age 53. I have found hints that Uriah moved to Texas. Just seems there are too many given names the same here....and the migration is to similar to be coincidence. Thomas Riddle married Rachel Lemons in April of 1860. The 1860 Jackson Co., AL (June) census shows Thomas & Rachel plus Ransom Carmicheal, Margaret b: TN. i believe age 5 and Lucinda b: TN I believe age 2. Will have to look up. This was the last census to show a male head of household. Next found in the 1870 Marshall Co., AL. census... Rachel Riddle living with a Thomas Boggess family... Next door a family by the name of Lamons...no adults listed... Ransom, Margaret, Lucinda and Thomas. Ages were correct. Now I'm wondering if Aunt Cin may have been a half sister to Thomas William and maybe her last name was Lemons????? Fires in AL destroying records have made this very hard. Just ran across notes I made years ago....really bad notes <g> These came from my maternal grandmother.... Aunt Cin married someone by the name of Buck. She didn't know if this was given, surname or nickname. He was killed in a storm and they found his body in the top of a tree.

The only info on William I have right now is that he was born in Brunswick Co., Va. This info is in the Ridlon book page 341 and 342. The Riddells of Brunswick Co., Va. The fourth generation Nathaniel Riddle is my GGGrandfather. My Nathaniel also had a brother William living in Alabama, also a brother Thomas living in Cherokee Co., Tx. Maybe someone will have a connection here.
