Gail Riddle Homepage

I am researching the Riddle, Sams, and Norton families from North Carolina and TN. I have ran into a road block with my Grandmother Lula Norton b. Greene Co. TN and buried in Shelton Mission Church in the Rock Batter Community of Greene Co., TN. Her Mother was Sarah Jane Phillips (1874-1948), Father John Jake Norton (1856-1940. Lula married Ezekial Riddle.

In addition, while researching the Riddle family I am having a problem finding information on Elizabeth Arminda Sams born about 1857 in N.C.. married Jacob Millard Riddle. Jacob and Arminda had 8 children; Ezekial, Champ, Emeline, Debbie, Lizza, Willard, George, and Briscoe Hensley half brother, Mindys son I think.
Any information would be appreciated. I am also willing to share the information that I have.



Research herein is believed to be accurate. If anyone finds a descrepancy please notify this writer
