Person:Hendrick Riddle (2)

RIDDLE, JOHN

I hope you can help me. I am having a horrible time trying to find out information on some our my ancestors. My Greatx3 grandfather John Riddle was born in 1837 and died April 1871 in Monmouth County. His wife Martha Errickson died the same year. I haven't been able to locate death certificates for them or much information about them. I am hoping that you can help. They had 9 children - Augusta, Catherine, Henrietta/Jane/Laura B./Rachael/Mary L/ Anna/ and John Henry. The only one I have any information about is John Henry. Any help you can give me will be appreciated.

RESPONSE:

I can't find anything that exactly fits your specific details, and identifies his parents. However, I did find some data that appears to belong to a family/families that might be connected--so close I decided to send it along.
