My Riley line, thru my maternal Grandmother,
Winifred Mae Riley Banks Austill,
is mostly a mystery so far. With what little information I have, I have been able to determine that she was born in Gallatin County, Illinois, near Ridgway. There is a "Family Plot Cemetery" which I have visited. It contains several names and dates, but still no direct, provable connections.
It contains some of the descendants of Owen Riley and wife Agnes (Stout).
I hope, with this Web
Page, to be able to meet some of the other descendants of this family.
I will include information shared with me pertaining to any Riley (and any spelling variation) that has connections to the south-eastern portion of Illinois and closely surrounding counties.
Particularly White & Gallatin counties in Illinois; Posey, Vanderburgh, and Warrick Counties of Indiana; and Henderson and Union counties of Kentucky.
I further hope that by the sharing of Genealogical Information that,
Together,
we may all be able to learn more about our ancestors and our
history
