Riddle, Robert. Private, Capt. Hugh McClallen's , Col. David Field's regt.; enlisted Aug. 17, 1777; discharged Aug. 19, 1777; service, 6 days, including 3 days (60 miles) travel home; company marched from Colrain to Bennington on the alarm of Aug. 17, 1777.
Rev. War Vet. Robert Riddell, was born in Londonderry, N. H., January 27, 1758, and in 1784 married Miss Jemima Long, who was born in Massachusetts. They moved to the town of Sullivan about the year 1806, coming to wild and uncultivated land, forests inhabited almost solely by wild beasts and game; for few indications of civilized life were near. Few sounds were heard but the songs of the birds and the rustle of the winds in the trees, except when at night the cry of the wolf' and the heavy footstep of the prowling bear startled them from. their uneasy slumbers.
The hardy, fearless grandfather and his equally brave wife built their log cabin in these wild woods, and settled themselves to their life of hard labor and many privations. Fortunately, they found the Indians almost uniformly friendly and hospitable. They became the parents of eight children, as follows: Polly, born in 1785, and died in 1848; Sally, born in 1787, died in 1859; Jemima, born in 1788, and died in 1869; Patty, born in 1790, and died in 1862; Robert, born in 1792, died in 1861; David, born in 1794, died in 1884; Susan, born in 1795, died in 1808; Thompson, born in 1798, and died 1877. The father of these children died on August 11, 1808; and his wife followed him September 14, 1822. They were members of the Baptist church, and Mr. Robert Riddell was a strong adherent of the Democratic party.
