William Johnson Riley

[collins]

Looking for information about William Johnson Riley that killed around 1895 to1900 at the Speegleville General Store in Speegleville, TX by W.T. Garret.
He was married to Eliza Isabell Jaynes. Eliza Isabell Jaynes Riley was living with Looney Barton in the 1900 census. Looney was the husband of Molly Riley. Molly Riley was the daughter of William and Eliza. This would be McLennan County, TX.

[Bill Childs]

On that 1900 McLennan Co., Tx census, Eliza Riley is listed as born Mar 1844 in SC with both parents also b. SC, and Mollie is listed as b. Feb 1872 SC.
A descendant of Charles Pinkley Riley, Mollie's brother, says all these children were born in Lafayette Co., Mississippi, and that Eliza Isabell's first name was Elizabeth. They list Elizabeth/Eliza Isabell JAYNES as b. 1 Mar 1844 SC and d. 3 Nov 1930 Mosheim, Bosque Co., Tx. They list William Johnson Riley as b. 1851 SC & d. 22 June 1904 in Waco, McLennan Co., Tx., so some info may be incorrect since it appears he died before 1900.
