Matthew Riddle was born 11/26/1743 in Roxburghshire, Scotland.
Death: November 26, 1820 (77), Clintonville, Venango, PA.
"Matthew Riddle, a native of Roxburghshire, Scotland, and a veteran of the Revolutionary war, came to Venango County as chain bearer for Thomas McKee. His first acquaintance with Clinton Township was made in 1795, and in the following year he removed his family from Westmoreland County. He secured a tract of twelve hundred acres, partly in Scrubgrass, and at his death in 1820 this was divided among his four children: John, Robert, Annie (Pollock), and Elizabeth.
His wife died in 1817.
He passed away in 1820."
