My ancestral couple, James and Elizabeth (Chaney) Rampley had several children, including:

  • Thomas–father of James and Elizabeth
  • John–too common to be a real clue
  • James–grandfather of James and James himself
  • Riley–?
  • Martha–too common to be a clue
  • Elizabeth–too common to be a clue
Riley is a name that just seems to appear. Is it a clue to someone’s maiden name, perhaps that of Elizabeth’s mother? 
Clues contained in names are clues, not facts.
