2/28/98 I received an email recently from a Riley "cousin" asking for more information on Isaac Riley. It seems his family story says that Isaac Riley was a full-blooded Native American. I don't have any information on that, but when you look at the Phillips and Tompkins family story that Elizabeth Phillips was a descendant of Tecumseh, it would seem a resonable presumption. If you have any information on this,please email me.
