According to an article in the "Memories from Family Albums" written by Maude Riffe Schwartz in 1976 Elder Floyd and Aremedia Riffe came to Lewis Co. in 1893 from West Va. They had 4 children, Rosa, Elizabeth, Vernie, and Charlie. Maude was born in 1895 in Wa. and Jessee was born in 1898. Floyd was a farmer and a minister of the Primitive Baptist church, a doctor and leader in the community. Could send the whole article to whoever was interested. It has who each of the children married, etc. Barbara Bartley Pearson -----Original Message----- From: John Blair <jblair@kalama.com> To: WALEWIS-L@rootsweb.com <WALEWIS-L@rootsweb.com> Date: Monday, August 09, 1999 3:56 PM Subject: [WALEWIS-L] Riffe > >> Is anyone on this list researching the RIFFE family?
