Family Line: William Thomas Riddle, b. abt. 1740, m. Harriet "Happy" Rogers Roberts. Some researchers of this family believe that William was a Tory Captain and lived in VA, conducted raids into NC during the Revolutionary War and was hung in Wilkes Co., NC. Other researchers believe William was an American patriot and served under Gen. Francis "Swamp Fox" Marion, was captured by the British and hung in Augusta, GA. After the death of William, his wife "Happy" and their children moved west to Tennessee. William's descendants continued their western migration to TX, UT, and IN.
