* This branch of the Riddell family is descended from Scottish, ancestors who
received a grant of four townlands, named Cornasoo, Glanish, Annamacneal, and
Mullacrank, County Monaghan, under Cromwell, and are all connected with other
families named in this book that were from Monaghan. But few kept a register,
and the degree of relationships is not made out; possibly some venerable member
may, from reading this book, replace the missing link in the family chain. This
branch spell the surname Riddell in Ireland. Some have changed to Riddle in the
United States.
