Notes for Andrew B. Riddle
Bath Co. Deed Book Q, Page 84, Lewis Riddle sold land in White Oak to Andrew Riddle, 25 Oct 1849.
The assignment of Andrew Riddle to the family of Lewis and Elizabeth Riddle is only probable, based on the deed above, on his age fitting in to the males listed in the household of Lewis Riddle in the 1820, 1830, and 1840 censuses, and that all the other male Riddles of his generation living in Bath County in 1850 are known to be Lewis' sons.
The date of birth of 14 July 1819 is from Andrew's gravestone. If it is correct, then his age on the 1850 census is wrong.

Notes for Mary Jane Grimsley
The death certificate of her son James lists his mother's maiden name as Mary June (or Jane) Grimsley, and says she was born in Kentucky. The 1850 census says she was born in Virginia, as does the “birthplace of mother” column for her children in the 1870 census. (The middle name on James’ death certificate may be "Jane". The clerk's handwriting does not close a's at the top, judging by other words such as "married", "Mary", and "March". But the others all curve on the left, whereas both sides of the 2nd letter in "June" are straight.)
