It looks like Gene Divine has it right: John Riddle (of Owen County, KY, b. 1804 per family bible) is just John Riddle, and not John Lewis Riddle. Also, I had a date wrong in my earlier message, it should read: a James Riddell (b. 1750) had son, William Riddell born in Orange County, Virginia, who "presumably had a family and descendants" and died in Kentucky.
