There issue: Warren Riley (who married Lula Herlong) and Miles Riley. =20 William David was in Jan Lowery's line, so they have a lot of FGSs on descendants, but due to lack of source citations on their part and no response to my posting of May 29, I have not posted any details to the Orangeburg list. Just thought I'd pass this bit along, with cautions, re John Riley." Peggy replied that the above information is correct and said: >I guess I'm not interested in 200 pages of FGS's! Would any of them >happen to show any more info than what I have for the descendants of Henry >John Ott through the 4th generation and/or farther down for Rebecca= Caroline >Ott?=20 So, to Peggy, and others who may be interested=85=85 Yes, there=92s quite a lot and following, I have interspersed into Peggy=92s data all the additional (or different) data from the Lowerys' FGSs through 4 generations (there=92s more on later generations as well) and would sincerely appreciate hearing from anyone who has corrections.=20 This is not my research; do not quote it as factual. Anyone who can verify or disprove any of this would be doing a service to all researchers by responding! The FGSs were typed for the Lowerys by a paid typist and I suspect some typos or transpositions crept in along with the usual little mistakes we all make. In some instances a person appears on more than one FGS and there's conflicting info; in that case I have included all variations of data. I'm only publicly posting one generation under Elizabeth Rebecca Ott since members of later generations may still be living.
