Riley Genealogy

A Kentucky Branch

This branch of the Riley Family Tree is descended from the Rileys that arrived in Virginia in the late 1600s. They migrated west to the eastern slope of the Appalachian Mountains and settled in the Holstein River Valley the area that is now Russell Co. Virginia. They remained there until the early 1800s. In about 1803 "Patrick"and two of his Sons "Patrick Jr.and James" crossed the Cumberland Mountains into Kentucky. They settled on Middle Fork of Kentucky River in what is now Breathitt Co.Kentucky. Their descendants can still be found in southeast Kentucky but, many of then left Kentucky after the Civil War and again in the 1930-40s and can be found living throughout the United States.
