Hi Jan

> "Susannah, wife of Henry Riffle, only child of an heir at law"

Thanks for letting me know this.

I wonder if the Henry RIFFLE you mention is the same as ...
Henry REIFFEL=RIFFLE
n=08 May 1826 PA,Somerset-Co d=11 Sep 1867 PA,Greene-Co
buried=PA,Greene-Co,Aleppo-Twp,Windy-Gap-Cemetery
(son of Samuel REIFFEL=RIFFEL=RIFFLE, Sr. & Alice McHUGH)
m=24 Feb 1850 PA,Greene-Co to Susan(nah) KEENER n=25 Oct 1822
d=20 Aug 1896 (daughter of Peter KEENER, Sr. & Susan STEWART)

This Susannah KEENER was the sister of Oliver KEENER
m=Cynthia Ellen WILSON (daughter of Jacob WILSON).

1864 During the American Civil War this Henry RIFFLE wrote a letter
to Jacob WILSON & his wife, addressing it "Dear Uncle & Aunt"
which shows some relationship to Jacob WILSON
even before his son married into the ADAMS-WILSON family.
This letter is in possession of Robert MILLER of New-Jersey.

Henry's son was John Adam RIFFLE
n=08 Jan 1851 PA,Greene-Co,Springhill-Twp
d=25 Dec 1918 MO,Morgan-Co,Barnett
buried=Hopewell-Cemetery near MO,Morgan-Co,Barnett
m2=Mamie DANIELS m1=31 Aug 1873 Harriet Samantha B. ADAMS
n=16 Aug 1855 PA,Greene-Co,Jackson-Twp
d=05 Sep 1906 MO,Morgan-Co,Barnett
(daughter of William H. ADAMS & Malinda A. WILSON).

Malinda's father was Jacob WILSON, who's wives were
(Mary) Elmira COLE (DUNSTONE?) &
Maria ADAMS (daughter of Abraham ADAMS).

Another source note I have is the 1989 book
"Catholic Trails West: Founding Catholic Families of Pennsylvania"
p422 by ADAMS, EDMUND, O'KEEFFE & Barbara BRADY
& published by Gateway Press Inc. of MD,Baltimore.

Please let me know if you turn up anything else
