Robert Riddell³ (3), second son of Gavin² (1), was born in Coleraine,
Mass., in 1789; married Sarah Stewart, and settled at Wilmington, Vt.
For a time after the death of his father he remained at home, but subse-
quently kept public-houses in several places. At one time he owned and
carried on the wadding-factory in Wilmington; was sheriff in his County,
and filled several positions of responsibility. He was a man of large size,
partaking, it is said, somewhat of the energetic character of the Taggarts,
from whom he descended on his mother's side. He was a man of undis-
turbable good nature. He was living in 1852, but died several years ago.
I have made a great effort to collect a more complete account of this
branch, but the descendants of Robert cannot be prevailed upon to pro-
vide the statistics of their families; it is presumed that they shun pub-
licity. There were eight children, of whom hereafter.
