[SCOTTISH BRANCH.]
Thomas Riddell¹ (1), parents' names unknown, came from Scotland
or England to Virginia at an early day,-long previous to the American
Revolution, and settled in Brunswick County, where he had grants of
land. He married Polly Dean, and had issue four sons (and probably
daughters), of whom hereafter. I believe this family connected with
other families whose pedigrees are found in this book, but I cannot prove
the relation.
Fountain Riddell¹ (1), a brother of the preceding, was a resident of
Scotland or England. I find this very peculiar Christian name in the fam-
ily in Kentucky, who trace their ancestry to an early settler of Virginia.
SECOND GENERATION.
Thomas Riddell² (2), a son of Thomas¹ (1), was born in Brunswick
County, Va., about 1755; married Polly, daughter of Col. Charles Wil-
liamson, of the same County, and had issue ten children, of whom here-
after. He was a soldier of the Revolution, and lived many years after-
wards.

County, Va., about 1757, and was a soldier of the Revolution.

County, Va., about 1760, and was killed in the Revolution.
THIRD GENERATION.
Thomas Riddle (3), eldest son of Thomas² was born in Bruns-
wick County, Va., Oct. 16, 1780; married Rebecca Riddle, his second
cousin, and had issue four sons (possibly daughters), of whom hereafter.
He settled in the State of Illinois more than seventy years ago (1808,)
and is now (1879) living at Fitts Hill, Franklin County, at the great age
of ninety-nine years, and can ride horse-back almost as well as a young
man. His memory is growing weak, and he cannot recall all family names.

wick County, Va.
Henry Riddell (1), third son of Thomas2 (2), was born in Brunswick
County, Va.
Roland Riddles (1), fourth son of Thomas2 (2), was born in Bruns-
