The 1850 census list William Riddle, 73, VA; Hannah Riddle, 65, VA with two presumed offspring; Lavinia, 28 and Anderson, 36.  We're speculating that William and Hannah are the parents of John Riddle, 48 and William Riddle, 44 both neighboring Owen County and all farmers.  The 1850 census shows John Riddle with 9 children and William Riddle with 8.  Cathy Riddle, in her query of November 1997, tells us of the existence of a brother Moses, to the older William. I'm wondering if William's wife Hannah was a Powell or a Breeding, as Cathy's query suggest.  My wife, Cathie, tells me that the lore from the family also alludes to Indian blood.  Can anyone tell us more about the older William and Moses?  We would like to trace William back to Virginia and the old world if possible.

Am trying to locate GF's Wesley Dimmitt Osborne's (1882-1950) whereabouts during 1920.  Know that he had wife, Emma and they were in Sadieville, Kentucky in November 1921.  First child Dimmitt W. Osborne was born there.  Birth record says father was a streetcar conductor in Georgetown.  He and wife's address was Sadieville.  This was a big surprise to me as I thought my grandparents had always lived in Cincinnati.  Caleb Osborne (1903-1957) lived there from 1917 on with a man Homer Wilson, Route # Georgetown.  Caleb married a girl named Helen (last name unknown).  Caleb had a twin brother, Carl.  Would appreciate any advise or address where I could obtain a copy of the census for Sadieville.
