Hi - just read this message and thought I would ask a question, even tho it sounds like you may have it figured out...but just for my records and understanding I found the following and wondered if it could be the same person....The Josephus that I found, his name was Joseph Cephus Riddle who was born 05-1840 in Cumberland Co., Ky. He was the son of Nathan A.R. and Mary Pierce. But the one I have married Tyressa J. Ashlock in 1863....Are we talking about the same one? He did have a brother William Peters (Billy) Riddle who was born ca 1835 in Cumberland Co. Ky., but I have 2 marriages for him.#1 is to Lucinda Bow who was born ca. 1834 in Ky. and #2 is to a Mary Riddle. (could this be Mariah?), or is this a totally different family? The dates are very, very close to the children of Nathan and Mary of Cumberland Co., Ky. I havent ran across a Davis Riddle yet, but that doesnt mean anything...just have lots and lots of Riddles and those were the two that I knew of....Who is the parents of this Davis Riddle, and was he also born in Cumberland Co., Ky.? Its just so odd that the same names and births are so alike...made me wonder who you were talking about....Thanks Loretta Riddle in Evansville, In. ----- Original Message ----- From: <RPoind4199@aol.com> To: <RIDDLE-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, August 23, 1999 7:29 PM Subject: [RIDDLE-L] Josephus RIDDLE > Rodney, > I've been TRYING to sort through all the stray RIDDLE's in Clinton and > Cumberland Co., KY.
