| War Veterans Reunion in Nashville TN |
- Mr. Riffle found his half-sister (Josephine Murphy) through a Confederate soldier's reunion in Nashville. He went with Andy Newt Faucett, his father-in-law.
Josephine's husband Bat Roach was asking around for S.S. Riffle's whereabouts and happened to ask Andy Newt Faucett!
Josephine was not there as she was pregnant with Clarine, Mary Embry was pregnant with Katie. Once Josephine was recovered from having Clarine, the Roach family headed for Forreston,TX to see them. Josephine, Bat, and their children Clarine, Chick, and Josie had quite a time as they had really never been in the country.

Samuel Scott located his half-sister through a Confederate soldier's reunion in Nashville Tenn. S. S. 1st wife, Sarah Josephine Faucett's father, Andy Newt, was a Confederate veteran and attended this reunion in the 1880s. Bartholmew Roach, by this time married to Josephine Murphy, attended hoping to find someone who knew Samuel Scott Riffle's whereabouts and ran into A.N. Faucett, SS's father in law! They were in touch from then on. The Roach's lived in Meridian, Mississippi during the time they had the 12 children. They homesteaded in the Oklahoma strip prior to S.S. bringing his family in Dec 04. The Roach's left and went to Ada, Okla, and went into mercantile business.

Note: Conflict between dates and facts.
Andy Newt Faucett was SS' first father in law, there was a Confederate Reunion in Nashville in 1897. Clarine Roach and Mary Josephine Riffle were both born in 1897 (I think). So it would have been Sarah Josephine Faucett pregnant with Mary Josephine that SS left at home, not Mary Elizabeth Embry pregnant with Katie.

- Bat was an Irishman and a grocer. Living next door was another Irishman, Thomas Kielty, who came over 26 years after Bat did, but was employed as a grocery salesman. Perhaps their families knew one another.
