RIDDELLS OF GLASSLOUGH, IRELAND.
Walter Riddell' (1) was presumably descended from the family of
Glen-Riddell, Dumfrieshire, Scotland, an offshoot of the baronial family
of Roxburghshire, Scotland. He left his kinspeople and his native land in
consequence of a quarrel concerning the Jacobite and Covenanting ques-
tions, which were agitated in Scotland, contemporary with his settlement
in Ireland, in the former part of the eighteenth century. He was, it is

*The only male representative of this family in Ireland (so far as known) is a
grandson of Mrs. Susan (Riddell) Williams, of Newton-Cunningham, who is called
John-James Riddle. The surname was spelled Riddell by the ancestors of this
family. The family Bible containing the records has been lost, and the early parish
records are not extant. A gentleman, named Marshall, whose grandmother was a
Riddell, was in Ireland some twenty-seven years ago, to learn the history of his
ancestry, and visited Mrs. Susan (Riddell) Williams, informing her of her brother's
death in New Jersey. There was also an American named Colon Reid who visited
Ray many years ago, and said a Dr. Riddle was about to visit the parish to look up
his ancestry. Was this Rev. David H. Riddle, D. D., of Martinsburgh, Va. ?
