I am still trying to "troll" for any leads concerning the following
RIFFLEs. Any information/leads will be greatly appreciated. I know
the information I have below is sketchy but it's all I have and will
add more when any comes my way.

Thanks, in advance, for any help.

Francis Marion RIFFLE and Mary SNYDER

No information on Francis. I have found out that Mary SNYDER was
born in Leon, Mason Co., West Virginia.

Their children:

Orval Cleveland RIFFLE (b:11 Jun 1888, Chestnut Ridge, WV
d:30 Aug 1940, Fremont, Sandusky Co., OH)
According to obituary he had been living in Ohio since 1907.
His name has also been seen spelled Orvil, Orrvil and Orville.
My Grandmother, Helen Lucille RIFFLE, was born in Fostoria,
Seneca Co., Ohio in 1915, so I am assuming he lived in that
county during that time.
