1 thought on “Genealogy of the Cherokee Riley Family”

  1. I am curious about a certain Barnabas Riley (1797-1848) who lived in Mulberry Grove, Bond co.,Illinois. His birth is listed as Cherokee County, Georgia 1797. His father was James Riley (1776-1850) born in Cravens, South Carolina. His mother Sarah Wilson. Could Barnabas in any way be related to the Cherokee Rileys??? I found James father as Danger Riley (1745-1781)…Thank you
