Patricia,
If you are related to the Riley & Sanders families, then you are related to Sam Purdom probably, also. His father, William H. Purdom's sister, was Elizabeth (Purdom) Riley who married Elias Riley. They lived in Trenton, Fannin Co., TX. So, Sam Purdom didn't just know your family from Tennessee, he was directly related to them. I have a book on this Riley family.
