    3. Hi Everyone, I'm wondering if any of you may have run across my great grandma, Emma B. Taylor, in your research. She is a brick wall for us, since it seems she didn't talk much about her family to anyone. She was born ca 1860 in what she called "Old Virginia" and died in 1944 in West Virginia. We can find no record of her birth, and her death certificate had a slash through the section for parents. She married Fred Riddle and they lived in the Hart's Creek area of West Virginia (Lincoln and surrounding counties) and had several children. Their son, Albert Walter Riddle was my grandfather. They also had another son Marion Riddle who died in California in the mid 1970's, and a daughter Beryl, who married a Conley in WV. We didn't know Emma was our ggrandma until about 7 years ago (long story) and everyone we've talked with who grew up around her can't remember her mentioning her parents, siblings, etc. It was rumored she was either a Cline or a Taylor, and that her family had some ties with the Reynolds tobacco family. She may have had family in Crawford County, Pennsylvania, in the mid-1920's, since she and my grandmother and grandfather lived somewhere up there on a farm for a short while before my mother was born. If anyone has run across an Emma Taylor who may match up with the dates I've listed above, I will be forever grateful if you could let me know. Thanks much in advance. Ruth Webb
