I believe Anna Riley Wigginton is the daughter of Bailey Riley of Stafford Co, VA. Stafford Co Deeds Liber AA pp 37-39 show an indenture between George Dawson and Mary his wife, late Mary Riley, widow and relict of Bailey Riley; William Riley and Margaret his wife; Elijah Wigginton and Ann his wife; and George Riley where the children are selling 1/6th shares of land to John Burroughs. Some records show that some of the children were residing in Nelson Co, KY (later Spencer Co). I think two other children are Polly who married Benjamin Drake and Bailey Jr. It's possible that the sixth child is John Burrough's wife.

My interest is in the RILEY surname. I go back to a John Riley, born about 1813 in Stafford Co, VA. The William above is a candidate for John's father, but I have not proven anything yet. As it happens, my family has a hereditary hearing problem which we believe we can trace back to John Riley. I am always curious to know if any other branches of Riley descendants have a similar problem. It's a high frequency loss which is detectable in childhood and gradually progresses. Most of us wear hearing aids by the time we're say 30 years old.
