Origins

”Bible Record of Gentleman John Riley states Patrick Riley's father was John Riley of County Cavan, Ireland.”

From https://www.genealogy.com/ftm/r/i/l/Brendan-Riley-shoemake/WEBSITE-...

”Notes for Patrick Riley, Sr.: There is very little information on who Patrick's father is. Some in the family said that it was Daniel Riley Sr. B= 1728 in Virginia, D= 1805 in Virginia. Although we have found records of his land grant, for service in the Revolutionary War, nothing else is proven. Some in the family said that Thomas, or John Riley was the father of Patrick, no proof has been found. At this point in time I will start with Patrick as our family Head until I find documentation to prove who was his Father.”

Patrick Riley Virginia Tavern Owner???? Posted by Tina Stevens I found this in a book about the families of the Shenandoah Families in Virginia... Could this be an ancestor of OUR Patrick Riley??? The book was published in 1908 and has history dated from before the Revolutinary war... Our Patrick was born in Frederick Co Va by some sources. Could our Patrick Sr. be a Jr and the Jr. be a third??? We also have in evidence the first appearance of a "Pedlar," in Frederick County ; and it might be well to give a copy of the order : "John Dooues on his motion is permitted to Trade as Pedlar in this Colony, he having paid the Governor's fee and together with Thomas Rutherford Gent, his security entered into Bond according to law and acknowledged the same, the said Bond is admitted to record." The Pedlar in that day was a much needed trader in the Colony— and most likely, as he sold his wares, he proved very often an interesting visitor; for he travelled from settlement to settlement; and no doubt his news of the distant neighbors, as he imparted it, was of much interest to his willing listeners. At the same court, License was granted for the first Ordinary — or House of Entertainment, in the county. "On the petition of William Hoge, Jun. for leave to keep Ordinary at his House in the County, License is granted him for one year, he having paid the Governor's fees, together with James Wood Gent, his security, entered Bond according to law." Where this first "Ordinary" afterwards called "Tavern" was located, we only have to find he was located and is shown in his deed, as being about where Kernstown now stands, and very near the old Opcckon Church. Second day of same term, January, 1744, Patrick Riley, was granted a similar license, also Tomas Hart, Lewis Neil, Andrew Campbell, and Morgan Morgan were granted licenses to keep Ordinaries at their respective houses, all located in the county, and were required to "furnish lodgings and food and Liquors at prices fixed by the court."

Ancestry.com had father of Patrick b1751 as Daniel b1728; but it seems more likely to be John RILEY b 1719 County Cavan, Ireland from D Lee Riley's reference to old bible. Debbie (knoebel@ktc.com)
