Internet IGI (Dec 2003)
RESEARCH NOTE: Previous work on this line suggested that Edward Riley was a son of Zachariah Riley, who was a son of Ninian Riley, who was a son of Eliphaz Riley. New FamilySearch has information which has changed this pedigree to the following: Edward Riley is a son of Jeremiah Riley, who is a son of Eliphaz Riley. The ancestral Riley line remains the same, although Edward now follows different connections between himself and Eliphaz. Further research may be necessary.
NOTES: Could also be born in Cynthiana, Harrison, KY
