Notes for William Powell Riddle
Augusta Co., VA, Deed Book #24, p. 269: Power of attorney granted to Jacob Peck by William Powell Riddle, to prosecute a suit in General Court against James and Lewis Riddle of Orange Co., VA, executors of the estate of William Riddle, deceased, for William Powell Riddle's share of the estate left to him by his father.
Orange Co. deed book #18, p. 339 lists the sale on 29 June 1784 by William Riddle of Orange Co. to Edmund Shackleford of Orange Co., for 63 pounds current Virginia money, of "one certain tract or parcel of land containing by estimation ninety acres more or less situated lying and being in Orange County in the south west side of the Swift Run." Witnesses are John Goodall Jr., Lewis Riddle, William Bell, Richard Lamb, and John Haney. The seller must be Wm Powell Riddle, because his father William Sr. had died in 1777. But there was no William Riddle listed in Orange Co. in the 1782 census of Virginia heads of families. He was apparently only "of Orange Co." in the sense of owning land there.
The household of Edmund Shackleford was listed in the said 1782 census as adjacent to that of Lewis Riddle, and two households later was that of James Riddle. (In between Shackleford and James Riddle was the household of Edward Ansill.) Since Lewis, James, and William P. Riddle all inherited a third each of the "250 acres more or less" that was their father's plantation, and 90 is roughly 1/3 of 250, it appears that Edmund Shackleford was already residing in 1782 on the land that William P. Riddle inherited in 1777, and sold in the deed cited above. (All four of the other witnesses to the deed are also listed in the same parish in 1782.)
There was a distribution of the lands in Newberry and Lexington Counties of South Carolina to Revolutionary War veterans. Reference shows Wm P Riddle of Virginia was granted land in Lexington Co. SC in 1793.
