Riley SHOLAR^{[1, 2]}

1806 - 1873  (66 years)

• Name	Riley SHOLAR
  	Name is given as Uriley in Henderson and Sholar Lineages of Duplin County, but as Riley in Missing Original Marriage Register of Duplin County. Additionally, Violet Rogers Hatcher was surprised by the name Uriley, saying she had never heard it in relation to any Sholars in the Duplin County area.
  Birth	8 Nov 1806	Duplin Co, NC   [2]
  Gender	Male
  Death	Aug 1873	Duplin Co, NC   [2, 3]
  	Riley was 67 years old at the time of his death. 1880 US Census lists Lenna J. Sholar as a widow, so Riley dead by 20 Jun 1880. Noted this because Draughton book gives no citations and sources for its Aug 1873 date.
