Samuel Riley & Nelly

As of 1993 there has not been concrete evidence that Samuel Riley came to America. William Womack Riley in his journal (this journal is housed at the Family History Center in Salt Lake City, Utah) wrote that Samuel Riley was his great grandfather and Nelly was his great grandmother. Hedid not state where they resided. The book, "Protestant Immigrants to South Carolina", records that atthe council meeting of 14 Jun 1764 the Petitions and Certificates wereread for Mary Reley, Samuel Reyley, John Reyley, and David Reyley. ThePetition read: setting forth that they were protestants and latelyarrived in this province on the Couragement of the Bounty given by theAct of the General Assembly passed 25 Jul 1761, and therefore humblypraying that they might be allowed the same. Ordered that the prayers oftheir several petition be granted. Samuel Riley was granted a citation to administer the estate andeffects of John Riley late of St. Pauls parish, South Carolina, a planterdeceased as nearest of Kin to be published in the Parish Church andreturned certifyed, 27 March 1767. 1767 Census for St. Paul's Parish, Charlestown County, SouthCarolina list a Samuel Riley. 1783 Census for St. Bartholomew Parish,Charlestown County, South Carolina list a Samuel Riley. Some Riley researchers believe that Samuel Riley was from Maryland.

Hi Terry or Whoever, If you are interested in the genealogy of the Maryland Riley Branch who went to South Carolina and then to Tennessee and elsewhere, please check out my Riley Page at the following Web Site. I have a lot on the South Carolina Rileys in my book.

I am descended from: Hugh Riley, Sr. (1653-1736); Eliphaz Riley (1688-1760); Ninian (the correct way to spell the name--Nickname is "Ning") Riley, (1726-1814); James Taylor Riley (1760-1838); Henry Riley (1807-1863); etc. Ninian Riley [I] and Family and kin migrated from Prince George's County, Maryland, first to Surry County, North Carolina, circa 1783, then to Fayette County, Kentucky, in the Fall of 1796. Ninian's older brothers John and Samuel (sons of Eliphaz Riley) and sons moved to South Carolina before the Revolutionary War. They lived primarily in Edgewater and Laurens Counties, South Carolina, before descendants moved to Tennessee and Alabama in the early 1800s. The name "Ninian" came into the Riley family, because Hugh Riley, Sr., was a friend and neighbor of Colonel Ninian Beall, a Scotsman, who was transported by the English as punishment for participating in a rebellion in Scotland. The Bealls and Rileys were residents of Prince George's County, Maryland. Hugh Riley, Sr., is believed to have been one of the four sons of Myles Riley, the Immigrant, who arrived in the Chesapeake Bay Area in 1635. Myles was a native of County Meath, Ireland, and died in Old Rappahannock County (abolished in the late 1600s), Virginia, circa 1669. Regards, Bob Riley
