Follow the travels of Jose Merrick Riddle as his family migrates from Massachusetts to Geauga County, Ohio and on to Thetford Township, Genesse County, Michigan The inspiration for A Biography of Jose Merrick Riddle came from the author's memory of what he was told by his maternal grandmother and from old letters, papers and books that had been retained in the household for many years. A brief survey indicated that all eight of his maternal great, great grandparents migrated from Massachusetts or Vermont to Newbury Township, Geauga County, Ohio, about 12 miles east of Cleveland. These circumstances invited further study, which developed into a project finding expression in two manuscripts. This book was compiled along with another, The Yankees Migrate to "New Connecticut." Included is a bibliography of principal sources of information used by the author as well as an index of all the names contained in the body of the book. About the author ...
