Hi Joyce,
Now I have spied something interesting. When trying to sort out which
daughters married who, I noticed that this obit includes a Mrs. W. Riley.
Now, it may not be the same W. Riley, but in my tree, I have Sarah Elizabeth
Johnston, born about 1868, daughter of John and Hannah, marrying William
Dickson Riley on Nov. 1, 1893. I do have supporting documentation. Does
anyone know which daughter of William Johnston and Margaret Clarke's married
a Riley and when?
Thanks so much for any help.
Peggy
