Robert and Jane--once again, Jane, we seem to have tantalizing clues but have never completely proved our findings.However, my Jacob M. Holloway b. 1807 Tennessee, married Elizabeth Simmons in 1835 in Delaware Co., Ind.One of their sons William was born in 1850. My SUSPICION is that William's middle name could have been Riley because Elizabeth Simmons was very close to her brother Riley and perhaps named him because of that.Unfortunately, I don't think DNA testing matched Jane's ancestor with mine, but Robert, if you have found a family member who will be tested it would be very helpful.Jane, there is always the possibility that the people we are searching for were adopted by other surnames along the way.
