It seems that this George Rider's son, John Winiard Rider, married Malinda Harrison Liggett. Malinda's brother, James Walker Liggett, married Sophia (Crowe) Little. Sophia is the sister of Partisan Rangers John and James Little (children of Suzannah F. Crump). Suzannah is the sister of Sophia W. (Crump) Montgomery, wife of Levi Stone Montgomery; parents of Elizabeth Ann Montgomery whom married Collins WALKER. Parents of Nancy Catherine Montgomery whom married John Riley Walker. (The WALKER brothers are the sons of Morgan Walker.) Sophia and Levi produced Partisan Ranger Samuel C. Montgomery and daughter Sarah Jane Montgomery who married Partisan Ranger Frank Smith. {Let's not back up to the CRUMPs and further because it just goes on and on.}
I sure would like to know if this George Rider has in fact been proven to have been a Partisan Ranger... He may not have had a choice because of the way that the Jayhawkers were murdering old men...
