For Robert Bruce Ridinger, I am a gggranddaughter of Samuel Ridinger, brother of Michael, Catharine and many other siblings, Born in Montgomery Co., VA on 7October 1805. If this is the brother to your Michael, can you give me information on their parents? Records in Jefferson Co., Iowa give their parent's names as John and Catharine. My Samuel came to Iowa in 1839 from Tennessee with his wife and eight children, and his brother Michael served in the War of 1812. Dorothy Nelson
