Thanks Barbara Pearson for the RIFFE material. I am wondering is this Floyd RIFFE is the same one b c 1861 son of Lewis & 1st wf a COLLINS. If so, his father Lewis RIFFE was marrried 2nd to a Lester who was related to my ROBERTS also. The WORKMAN's & others at RIFFE were related to my ROBERTS, so strong belief that RIFFE's were also. The tombstone said Floyd RIFFE b 1855, which is a little early for this one, however, there were lots of errors in markers because people remaining often didn't know the facts. Surely appreciate your information. I-3-1-7 Dicy ROBERTS, b c1827, KY d 3 Sep 1890, WV brd.
