You can track David L. Riley, father of David L. Riley in Van Zandt Co, TX. And, then if you go to Rootsweb's WorldConnect -- http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi -- type in David Riley, born 1812, died Texas, you'll find others working on this line, too. Maybe one of them can help you with your Jesse. The name Jesse pops up in several of these Riley families.

I suggest you check out the Tippah Co, MS GenWeb site -- http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~mstippah/ -- Click on look at what they offer. Under cemeteries there is a John Riley, bur Smith Cem, b Elbert Co, GA, 1748; d 1852, Pvt Rev War -- could be the John Sr on the 1850 census.

Check out Rootsweb's WorldConnect -- http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi -- Type in Riley, John, b Virginia, 1756 + or - 5 years. You'll find others working on this line, also.
