ABRAHAM RIFE.How many are there?PA VA,IN, KY,MO,IL
How many Abraham Rife's are there?
I am searching for Abraham Rife born in PA about 1781 (based on a tombstone ((if we have the right one))).I know of one true son, James Madison Rife or Madison James Rife born in VA in 1801.Abraham married at least 2 times and other known children are Robert, Jacob and Joseph.I was told there are a possible 10 children between the two marriages.
Abraham also could be known as Edward Albert/ James Edward....but his family called him Abraham.....OK, I said the same thing. WHAT?
So let me start with what I know as fact:
?1. James Madison RIFE. Son of Abraham/James Albert/Edward RIFE & UNKNOWN. Born
1801 in IN or VA. Died Nov 8, 1858 in MO, Mississippi County.
