Census
1860 census of Rowan Co., KY, (June 11) lists on p. 15, family #104:
Nathan Riddle, 25; Mary D., 17; Ann Zana, 9/12. All born in KY. The entry is hard to read; it is possible that the D is really an S, though it has no visible loop and other S's on the same page do. The 17 may also really be a 19.
1870 census of Rowan Co., KY, Pearce Precinct, page 1, lists as family #7:
Riddle, Nathan 34, Susan 29, Ammie 10, Emma 7, Mary 5, Nora 2, all born in KY.
1880 census of Rowan Co., KY, Morehead precinct, lists family #52:
Riddle, Nathan, 43, farmer; Mary, 35; Emma, 18; Nora, 10; Ida, 8; Lewis, 3; Lucy, 1.
1900 census of Rowan Co., Ky, Morehead precinct 1, lists on p. 19B as family #370:
Nath Riddle, 63, b. Jun 1836, farmer; Mary, wife, 59, b. Oct 1840, married 35 years, 10 children, 8 living; Ruth, dau, 14, b. Feb 1886; Willie, son, 16, b. Feb 1884; Lewis, son, 12, b. Sep 1887. All born in Kentucky.
The birthdates are likely wrong for both Lewis and Willie, and possibly for everyone.3
