DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Samuel by comparing test results with other carriers of his Y-chromosome or his mother's mitochondrial DNA.
However, there are no known yDNA or mtDNA test-takers in his direct paternal or maternal line.
It is likely that these autosomal DNA test-takers will share some percentage of DNA with Samuel:
Riley-1803 and Riley-1251 appear to represent the same person because: Similar birth and death details. Seems to be the same daughter. Mother of daughter needs to be sorted out. Thanks for reviewing.
I believe that Samuel's daughter, Sarah Jane Riley, is my great grandmother but I cannot find enough facts to be positive. My grandma Martha Bloomfield was the daughter of Henry Bloomfield and Sarah Riley. They were married in June 1883. Sarah had 4 children, the last on being my grandmother born in 1892. There are no records of Sarah after my grandma was born. She is not listed In the 1900 Census but there is a servant listed, Melinda Chriswell. In 1901 my great grandfather Henry Bloomfield married Melinda Chriswell. I am assuming Sarah died sometime after my grandmother died but there are no death certificates, etc. If anyone has information about Samuel's daughter I would love to here from you. It is the biggest missing link in my family tree.
Riley-1251 and Riley-4643 appear to represent the same person because: Both profiles represent the same individual. There are extensive duplicates of this family, for multiple generations. Please merge, as there are merges pending for the parents and son of this individual as well.
Riley-1453 and Riley-1251 appear to represent the same person because: Same father and mother Jenny is a nickname for Jane. Most likely it was called Janie and the census taker missed communicated.

So, were Samuel and Jane cousins?
