Notes:

Zachariah Tolliver b 1792 is my great, great, great grandfather on my father's side. I am using information from tolliverfamily.com as a primary source. My tree may show some changes to that info if I could not find some other sources to back up the data or found data that lead in a different direction - right or wrong..

Zachariah married Margaret Fry about 1811 in Grainger Co, TN. Margaret was born about 1792 in TN; died after 1860 in Grainger Co, TN. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

This email mentions a son name Archie. I have found nothing to support this except the 1830 Wythe Co census includes a 10-15 year old male in David's household. I also have nothing to support the statement that John P was born in Culpepper County VA. Several researchers on MyHeritage website list an Archibald but undocumented.


The Rosatta Email .

Received April 2005

Hi Ray

Wow! It always throws me off a bit when I get E-mail on family history. I do recall the post that I sent. Hmmm...where did I get the info from? I have a family history around here somewhere.

OK I found it !! Where I got the info from was a letter written by Henry S. Ridings, now deceased (Henry is my husbands great uncle/great grand son to David Ridings) the letter is not dated but I do know that it was written many, many years ago. The info states that his great grandfather David Ridings was born on the North bend of the Yadkin River in 1784 died in KY in 1881. The way I understand this is that his wife's name was Elizabeth and they had children born in NC Bill, Archie, Matson and a daughter but that John P. was born in Culpepper County, VA 1813 dies in KY 1892. I don't know what took them to VA. That is all I have, if I can come up with more info I will let you know. I might be able to put you in touch with other family members that have more history. I hope this helps some. Take care

Meta Ridings


Smyth Co VA was formed in 1832 from parts of Wythe and Washington Cos.


David was 75 in 1860 but his date of death of July 11 1881. He would have been 96.
I cannot find him in the 1870 or 1880 census and wonder if the year on his marker is actually 1861.

Classification: QuerySurnames: Hi Jim, I might have some info for you on the Ridings family. My husbands family also came from England. The story that we have always heard was that we they came here they settled in North Carolina along the Yadkin River. Check the library I believe there is a book about the people of the Yadkin River area and the Ridings are mentioned. My husbands great-great-great grandfather was David Ridings born Sept. 7th 1784 on the north bend of the Yadkin River. Died July 11th 1881 Somerset Kentucky. Before there life in Kentucky he lived with his wife Elizabeth in Jonesville, Lee county Virgina. This is where my husbands great-great grandfather John Perkins Ridings was born in Culpepper County, so on and so on. It seemed the story was told that when the Ridings came to America there were 3 brothers and they branched of and went in different directions. So check out the history of the Yadkin River you may find so info. It sounds like you might be from the same branch as our family.
