His wife was Francis (Fannie) Riddle McNeely (daughter of Benjamin and Nancy Riddle), b abt 1794, d Jan 1823 (at child-birth). I believe that Benjamin and Nancy Riddle and their son Rueben Riddle are buried here too. They all were living here at the time of their deaths. The farm was sold to a Mr Anthony after Rueben died. Anthony was a minister at the OLD BANNISTER RIVER BAPTIST CH, which was about was about 1/2 mile farther down the road, just past the river, on north side of road.

      I have that Dinah Tribble was the daughter of James Tribble and ? (perhaps a Collins*). Her father married (2) Nancy (Spurbanks?) on Apr 17, 1802 in Halifax Co, VA. Dinah's siblings were:
      1. Tabitha Tribble - married (1) Thomas Word; (2) Richard Horn (I have more information of this branch)
      2. Isaac Tribble
      3. Ann Tribble
      4. Mary "Polly" Tribble - married Glennis Blankenship
      * I have an old letter from a distant relative that indicates that Tabitha had said her Mother was a "Collins".
      I haven't been able to find out if this is correct or not.

      Hugh Malone discovered Wilson Co., TN Chancery Bk 1, pp 281-287, Owen vs. Tribble. This suit identifies the sisters and brother of Dinah Tribble (m. David Echols) as: Tabitha (m. Richard Horn), Sarah (m. Henry Street), Ann, Mary (m. Glennis Blankenship), and Isaiah. Also identified were half-sisters Fanny (m. John T. Davis) and Lucy.
      Dinah and her sisters and brother were children of James Tribble and his first wife, name unknown. The half-sisters were the children of James Tribble and Nancy Spurbanks. Tabitha did marry first, Thomas Ward.
