RUDDELLS OF ROANOKE COUNTY, VIRGINIA.
Cornelius Ruddell' (1), supposed to have come from some part of
England or Ireland,* was an early settler in Virginia. He married and
had issue a numerous family, of whom hereafter. On an old deed from
King George the surname is spelled Ruddle, and it may be presumed with
plausibility that the "Ruddles of Ruddle's Station, Kentucky," are of
the same family. It may be worth mention that the name Cornelius is a
Christian name in the family designated "Riddells of Laurel Hill"; also,
that the family of Byrd intermarried with both branches.
SECOND GENERATION.

County, Va.; married Katie Rader, and had issue a number of children,
of whom hereafter. He was a land-owner, slave-holder, and planter.

County, Va.; inherited valuable land from his father, but dying without
a family (never married), he willed his property to his nephew.
THIRD GENERATION.

County, Va.; married Ann Hershberger, and had issue. He has deceased.
Was a farmer. His widow and her family live at High Point, Ia.
There are several families of Ruddell now living in Ireland, and their represen-
tative uses the same crest as the Riddells of Riddell, namely, a "demi-greyhound."

man of intelligence and means.
