Hmm, my Ridleys (Riddles) were in Granville Co, NC in the 1750s, but were out of there in the next few decades. There may be a connection to Moses and Mary Ridley (Riddle). Search those names and...

I don't know anything about the Williams either.

I don't know yet if this George Ridley is connected to my Riddle's (Ridley's) or not.

There seem to be a few coincidences between his line and...

Thanks for sharing Pappydick.

I've often wondered what information may still be available in Europe about our ancestors. You've got to figure that the "HQ" was in England at that time, not in the...

Hi Lily,

Good to hear from you. I would love to discuss this with you. I do have some more information and sources on George Ridley. I'm pretty busy lately but will get back with you as soon as...

I found this on a website about Loyalists during the Revolutionary War. It appears to be about British forces here in America and dealing with Loyalist Indians (right up our alley!).

It also...

I missed the reference to Washington Co., MO the first time I read this.

I wonder how early this would have been.

Thank you for the information. It really helps since I've never been to the region nor do I know much about it.

I have found that my Riddle's (some of Harriet "Happy" and William Thomas "Tory"...

Hi Charlie,

It sounds like we are cousins.

BTW, the Moses Riddle in the Dawes Enrollment is not our Moses Riddle.

If you really want some good detailed info on the Riddle's, get Mary E.V....

I have seen this referenced several times. I think someone posted it online and it has been copied over and over.

I have yet to find the source myself.

I don't know if it is a creek or river, but I do believe there was an Occeneechi Trail that was the "main" trading thoroughfare through Hillsboro, NC at one time.

Please correct me if I am wrong.

I'd love to see the pics of the park and Ft. Christianna.

You are correct and that is what Linda is saying.

Out west it is Blackfeet, in the east it is Blackfoot.

I'd like to see your spreadsheet, Linda.

I don't know if we can expect certain...

Considering Micager Bunch signed the petition to form Lee County, Virginia, I'd say you should include the surname BUNCH.

There were some GOINS there as well.

I haven't heard anything other than what has been posted here.

I guess having the names in signatures would mess up the search function.

This would be best as a separate entity, but I don't...

Uh oh, more Teal's. :D

My Teal's have been around the Darlington District in South Carolina (1750's-forward), Lincoln County, TN (early 1800's-forward), Middle TN (Bedford and Coffee County, TN...

Two of those names sound familiar to me.

Can you tell me more about Mark Whitaker? I believe my g-grandma's dad was a Mark Whitaker around Williamson County, IL.

The other name is Self. I...

I don't believe this is my William Riddle, but it does explain why there was a Julius Riddle who was sometimes referred to as William...:)

Chatham County is supposed to have been the southern part of Granville County, so this would put him in the right area...

Tom,

Another thing to point out is how very close the Cherokee land was to our families...

The Cherokee boundary in 1785 was right next door to Sneedville, TN. Here's a map.

I just found this post of mine with Bledsoe County data...I thought it might help someone who stumbles across this post but misses the other one.

Thanks Bill.

Dozwell Rogers is certainly a recognizable name. I am reading Mary Hill's book "Saga of a Southern Loyalist: William Riddle of Virginia and North Carolina, His Ancestors and...

I didn't which forum to post this in, so I thought I would try here.

I don't know if this is even possible or how this would work, but I thought I would bring it up and see what everyone thought....
