Notes: Seymour was sheepherding in Fergus Co., MT in 1900 Census.  Before that he was listed in Hyannis, Nebr. in the 1890-1891 Nebraska State Gazetteer, Business Directory and Farmers List.
John D. Riddle purchased land from Detroit, Michigan Land Office on 1 Apr 1837.  Is this our JD Riddle?
Notes: Marshal Dunbar (b. abt 1837 Ohio) shown living in Riddle household with Rhoda Dunbar.  Is this teenager the last child from Rhoda?  If so, most likely John Davis Riddle and Olive Dunbar would have been married in Ohio, especially since their 1st child was born 1846 in Ohio too.
