Franklin County, Tennessee, 1812 tax list, page 20: Benjamin Easley (four names intervening) War Easley John Easley Randolph Riddle (one name intervening) Harmon Riddle Benjamin Riddle is on page 18; John Riddle and again Harmon Riddle appear on page 10) Obviously, this is no accident. Randolph Riddle is said to be the husband of Jemima Hawkins. John Easley (my ancestor) was said by my grandmother's uncle (John's great-great grandson) to have been married to a Hawkins- it appears her name was Winifred. I believe that John and Randolph were probably brothers-in-law. Any information would be appreciated. [11, 12]
