Biographical Notes | Taylor District, Greene County, Indiana, USA
Note: At this stage we do not know whether the Riffeys accompanied the Leonard and William Sheets families to Indiana, or came later. So far I have no information about Polly's husband. However, they were there by 1849 when son William was born. 1860: Polly A. Riffey and her son William, nine years old, were living with Polly's mother Polly Sheets and her unmarried sister, Sally.
1870: Mary 40 years and William Riffey 21 years were still living in Greene Co., where William was farming. Mary was 40 years, and William was 21 years. Living with them was Mary's sister, Sarah Sheets, 45 years old, who was born in Virginia. Their mother Polly Sheets had died by then.
