Okay, I've been wandering the genealogical desert for days. And I'll be darned if I can't sort these folks out.
I have John Wm Ridgeley, 74 yrs old in 1870 (b abt 1795, h/o Isabella Folger?), living in the home of Wm H (M in the census) Buck Sr and his wife "Emily S"...why, and who is Emily?
And, I also have:
1900
Household Members:
William H Buck Jr 45 Head
Sarah J Buck 42 wife
Marie R Buck 17 dau
Emily "T" Buck 15 dau - Emily R
Ernest F Buck 13 son
Rebecca RD Buck (Rosalie?)11 "son" - (dau, there is no "D" on original census document)
James E Buck 9 son
Joshua F C Buck 4 son
Annie R Ridgely 72 "Aunt", born: "May 1828"
(Rosalie Buck m Herschel O Halbert)
There's more than one way to be an Aunt;I know the term was often used for what turned out to be a great aunt...And Ridgeleys married Ridgeleys too. There just so happens to be an Ann Rebecca Ridgeley who m Richard Greenberry Ridgeley, but it was 1826 - curious all the same - see family in 1920 below.
Ann R Ridgeley could be a spinster Ridgeley, a Ridgeley by a first, second, or third marriage, or she could be a Ridgeley who m another Ridgeley, for all I know.
