King worked with him for a while and by the time his equipment in the mill and Mfg plants were ready to be distributed to his heirs, there were none left in the area, therefore the Mill was shut down and the Mfg equipment was sold to someone in Milam and moved there. The Mill was on a river or creek, with a high side and the rock Mill was built there and paddle generated until 1838. I think it may have been at "King's Ridge" but I don't remember if this is the correct name, but it seems to me that it had King in the name someplace. I don't know what happened to his children and his sisters their families worked as carders in the 1850 census. Thank you.

RICKS/RILEY/GIFFORD William RILEY and his wife Gwin RICKS lived in Henry Co. beginning about 1830. Gwin's brother Thomas RICKS, of Guilford Co., N.C., had died in Preble Co. about the time of their arrival, but Thomas' family moved to Henry Co., also. Probably, most of the RICKS, RILEY, and Jonathan GIFFORD family members were closely related. Are there descendants of these families with solid information that should be in the RICKS family history? If so, please contact me.
