| Census Notes for John William Riddle |
1830 census of Bath Co., KY, p. 228, line 27, records this family as:
John Riddle, 1 male 20-29 yrs, 1 female 20-29 yrs, 1 male under 5.
1840 census of Bath Co., KY lists this family as:
1 male 30-39 yrs, 1 female 20-29 yrs, 1 female 10-14 yrs, 1 male 5-9 yrs, 1 female 5-9 yrs, 1 male 0-4 yrs, 2 females 0-4 yrs. If the numbers are correct, they suggest a daughter born before 1830.
I have not found this family in 1850. I would expect them to be in Morgan or Bath, but they aren't listed there. I should check Fleming Co - the marriage record of Martha Riddle & John B. Clark lists her place of birth as Fleming Co., which is almost certainly wrong, but may indicate that the family spent some time there when she was young.
1860 census of Rowan Co., KY (June 11), lists on p. 14, family #101:
John Riddle, 51; Mary A., 47; Commodore, 12; Nancy, 11; Sarah R., 8; John, 4. Mary A. born in New York, all others in Ky. The entry is hard to read; it is possible that the ages for John and Mary are 52 and 49.
1870 census of Rowan County, KY, Pearce Precinct, page 1, lists:
Riddle, John: 62, Adeline: 60, Sarah: 18, John: 15. Adeline b. in New York, all others born in KY.
1880 census of Rowan Co., Ky, Morehead prec., lists family #127:
John Riddle, 72, farmer; Mary A., 69, wife; John, 25, son; Sophia, 19, wife; Minnie, 2, dau; Amandy, 8/12, dau. Mary and her parents born in New York, others in Ky. |

Att J. Ralls D.C. John X Riddle his mark Lewis X Riddle his mark Henry J. Myers
-----------
Possibly other children in this family, since there is a rather long gap between the twins Mary and Martha born in 1839, and Commodore born about 1847. If I could find the family in the 1850 census it might help resolve that question. |
