Need info on Mary Elizabeth Riffe
My great grandmother was Mary Elizabeth Riffe. I do not know who her parents were. The information I have is: she was born Feb.12, 1852 in Arkansas. She married my great grandfather Henry Elias Criswell in Gonzales TX on April 13, 1872.
On the 1880 census it says her father was born in Kentucky and her mother in Arkansas.
Apparently her mother had been married previously to a Kitchens because she had half-siblings that were older than her. I have letters that mentions Thetford, Neel,Kitchens and Riffe relatives. One letter talks about a Ben Riffe who married a Susanna Tennessee Crisp. They had 3 children, Charles and two girls. Ben lived in Gurdon (?) Arkansas.
Can anyone help me identify my Riffe relatives,
thanks
Judy
