Regarding the Federal Census Records, the writer can find no entry for John W. Riley and wife Sarah in the 1800 Census of North Carolina. There are no Rileys listed for Surry County in 1800 (See page A-29, Appendix A). If John and Sarah were listed in the 1800 Federal Census, they would have been shown as a male and female under 26 years of age with an infant son (Isaac B.) under 10 years of age. Since they do not appear separately under the name of John Riley, they may listed unnamed as members of the Isaac Elsberry family. The writer has not checked the census for Elsberry listings. There is an entry in the 1810 Federal Census for John [Wright] Riley as Head of a family of 11 persons (See page A-65, Appendix A, and page T-18, Appendix T)). In the 1820 Census, there are two John Rileys listed in Clark County (See page A-68,.Appendix A). The writer believes the.- John Riley Jr. entry was for the son of John 'Riely' who moved to Orange County, Indiana. The second John Riley entry must be for John Wright Riley. However, there is only one child under 10 is listed when in fact there should ' have been at least six or seven children. Were they absent because they were visiting relatives?

John Wright Riley and family and his son Hardin N. Riley and wife appear in the 1830 Federal Census of Boone County, Missouri (See page V-2, Appendix V). The writer has written in the names of his wife and children in this census. Evidently, Hardin N. Riley had married within the past year, because only he and his wife are listed without children. In the 1840 Census of Boone County, John Wright Riley and family are listed along with his sons Isaac B., Hardin N., William, and John Calvin and their families (See pages V-3 and V-4, Appendix V). On should note that Hardin N. Riley's name is entered in both the 1830 and 1840 Censuses of Boone County. Therefore, he was definitely a son of John W. Riley, but his name does not appear in any 1850 Federal Census of Missouri or any neighboring states, including all the way South to Texas. The writer does not know what happened to Hardin Riley and family after 1840. Possibly, they left the state and were not picked up in the 1850 Census of the state to which they moved. In the 1850 Federal Census of Missouri, some of the sons and grandsons of John W. Riley are listed with their

separately nor with the families of his sons.

In land records (Deeds), John Wright Riley is identified as the son who has just come of age by his father Ninian, Sr., in the Deed previously cited under the discussions of Ninian, Jr., James Taylor, and Garrard Riley. This Deed of 1792 states that Ninian Riley, Sr., passed his land in proportionate shares to his sons (See M-22, Appendix M). In Kentucky, on 8 September 1810, John W. Riley purchased 51 acres of land from Charles McPheeters
