Citation published at Horns Creek 17th April, 1812 Adminstrative Bond: April 17, 1812 William Riddle, David Burns, and William Blackburn. Catherine Riddle certifies that she has no intention of administering her husband's estate and she wishes Wm Blackburn to administer July 29, [1814] /s/ Catherine Riddle. William Riddle was granted letters of Administration, but he has since died. Therefore, William Blackburn was given full power to administer the estate, August 12, 1814 Bondsmen: Wm Blaklburn. Jesse Frazier, David Burns [signatures] Acct payments mention the following as legatees or receiving a legacy: Catherine Riddle Sarah McBain Jesse Riddle Lewis Youngblood James Riddle John G. Riddle Elenor Riddle ------------------ The two families seem to be connected, Can anyone show an outline of this family? Again, this surname crops up in my Coursey line. It is also connected to the Sheppard line that Hope Creasman is researching. I have bits and pieces of information on the Riddles, and Sheppards and Courseys as shared by Hope and HC Ouzts and from an earlier subscription to the Riddle-L group. I am especially interested in Coursey connection in Edgefield Dist, SC. Does this group connect to Capt. James Coursey who married Winnifred Riddle in VA? If so, how does the Coursey group connect to that line? Or to the Lewis Coursey who married Jeannette Sheppard, Newberry Co., SC?? Billie Jones Camden, SC tjones@camden.net
