My ancestral couple, James and Elizabeth (Chaney) Rampley had several children, including:<\/p>\n
\n
Thomas–father of James and Elizabeth<\/li>\n
John–too common to be a real clue<\/li>\n
James–grandfather of James and James himself<\/li>\n
Riley–?<\/li>\n
Martha–too common to be a clue<\/li>\n
Elizabeth–too common to be a clue<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Riley is a name that just seems to appear. Is it a clue to someone’s maiden name, perhaps that of Elizabeth’s mother?\u00a0<\/div>\n

Clues contained in names are\u00a0clues<\/i>, not facts.<\/div>\n
