RIDLEYS OF WILKINSON COUNTY, GEORGIA.
[VIRGINIAN BRANCH.]
Robert Ridley¹ (1), descended from an ancient family in Southamp-
ton County, Va., was born about 1780, and his parents having died when
he was a small boy, he emigrated to Georgia in company with other fam-
ilies from Virginia, and settled in Wilkinson County, where he established
a permanent home. His parents' names are not certainly known. The
old members of the family in Virginia were aware that some kinsmen em-
igrated to Georgia, but seem to have had no intercourse with them. Rob-
ert never returned to his native State. He married Nancy, daughter of
William and Rebecca McKay, who went from Virginia to Georgia at the
same time, and had issue seven children, of whom hereafter. Mr. Ridley
was a farmer in moderate circumstances. He died in 1856, aged about
76 years.
