  • Notes 
    • From son Buford W. Riley's obituary
      Buford W. Riley was born July 8, 1831 in Fleming county, Ky., and came to this county when three years old, moving here with his parents, Edward and Elizabeth Jarvis Riley.
      His parents purchased and settled on a farm 5 miles southwest of Rushville. The land was purchased for $1.25 an acre, and recently Mr. Riley came back into possession of the home farm upon which he was reared, almost 90 years ago.
      The Daily Republican, Rushville, Indiana. Thursday, 7 October 1926.
