Hi, Flowerchild- and no- they are not proven to be related to other Erath County Rileys- one posibility. My wife's grandad James Whitcomb O'Riley , born appx. 1850 , in Irtish Catholig Rase Horse country ran away from home in Ireland at age 12 after an accident which broke a prize Stallion's leg. He wrapped the leg and stowed away in a lifeboat of a ship for 2 days with a small lunch and the Capt. needed help- crew was sick. The Capt. knew he could not enter without parents, soi he brought him to a New York Tinker's (Sheet Metal) shop where the ships bought buckets and such and signed him on as an AprenticeHe had a family Back east - the wife died and one son had a small shoe factoiry. he then came to Cleburne, Texas and married Alice Marie Renfro- they had 3 children and the immigrant died appx. 1890 and is buried in Cleburne. My wife was the baby of 5 girls and two Riley Boys, most born in Levelland, Texas. O(ne brother is buried at Van, Texas and Jim is buried at Dublin- he had bought a farm at Muleshoe from Vernon Basker, then a Carleton Ranch from the same man, then traded the ranch for a smaller Sandy land farm near Don Mitchell's Dairy, which Joe Mack and and Donna still run- between an old Dublin Fenced road west of Carleton Road and Lake Proctor. It is posible that some of Mr. Riley's half brothers came to Texas- but no proof and the family denies it- One is buried in new York State. Take care, Charles Wyly
