• Notes

  The following is from a message posted to ancestry.com by John Mills of CA There are two john ridings one born in 1850 married Julia A. TINNEL one born in 1857 married Elizabeth SPARKS may be the same person John married Julia A. Tinnel on June 23, 1883 in Claiborne County, Tenn. I assume that his first wife, Elizabeth Sparks died before 1883. I am not directly related to John Ridings, only by his marriage to Elizabeth Sparks, so I don't document his second marriage. Looking for info. on John R. Ridings born 1850 possibly in Va. He married Julia A. Tindell thought to have been born in Tn. in 1871. They had the following children- John Calvin, Thomas M., David N., Martin J., Nancy, Coyett C., Letthia Viola, Ike, Sarah L., William J., Maggie E., and another child unknown. John Calvin was my great grandfather. He married Mary (Mammie) Jeffries. Looking for anyone searching for this line of Ridings or Jeffries.
