Charles, First let me say that your work in organizing us all is greatly appreciated by me. I don't notice a lot of reply's to your posts, but I hope they are going directly to you. It helps to pinpoint discrepancies and obvioius inaccuracies. Anyway, I wanted to make a couple of comments. Sorry it's taken me so long to respond, but I wanted to have all my ducks lined up. 1) Delete the possible death date of 1865 for Nathan A. R. RIDDLE. Also, there is definitely an A. in his name in his father's will. I know I personal said 1865 was a possibility looking at his tombstone, but after reviewing records it is not!! He is listed in both the 1870 and 1880 Census of Cumberland Co., KY. There is also an ARMY PENSION--Father's case in the pension file Arthur P. RIDDLE, his son, date 1866. There is also a "Proof of Father's dependence on Son for Support in the file as well. ** As a side note, there are affadavits signed by Elzy BOND, Abijah C. RIDDLE, and Jesse R. BOW. 2) You list Louise as possibly Luvinsa. Every time I have seen her name spelled, it phonetically sounds like Louise/Louisa. I have seen it spelled "Luwise" in her father's will, but it has never looked like Luvinsa to me. As far as Louise's death date, I don't have anything specific, but I do know she died after the 1860 census where she is listed in the household of her brother Nathan. She is 55. 3) Where is John S. RIDDLE listed as a son of Joseph RIDDLE? Did he die before Joseph wrote his will? 4) You need to add Polly RIDDLE's first husband, Phillip LAWSON. Here is a deed found in Cumberland Co., KY Deed Book L, pg. 260. This also proves Nathan is her brother. "This indenture made this sixth day of January in the year of our Lord, On Thousand eight hundred and forty eight Between Joseph SPEERS and Polly SPEER his wife, of the county of Cumberland and State of Kentucky of the one part and Charles SMITH of the County and State aforesaid of the other part.
