I've been very lucky in finding census records for our Riley's. This family seems to have stayed together as they emigrated, settling in the same area's. For this section of the family, they were all located in Hunt County. Some of the families listed here may or may not be our Riley's, but I will go ahead and list them here. It may help someone else who is doing their Riley Family research.
