Notes
a. Note:   r. Page from marriage records of Hamilton County, Ohio. Thomas Riker married Eleanor Bramble Nov 1, 1834 and A. Burdsall is --- That doesn't make sense as all their children were born between 1817 and 1824. And a woman born about 1804 couldn't have been their mother. Book of marriage records says the same thing, surrounded by other marriages from 1834, at random times in 1834, and performed by different officials, but all in the same identical handwriting.
  1870 census shows Eleanor, age 66, born about 1804 in Pennsylvania, in Springfield, Hamilton, Ohio, with Benjamin Riker 27 and Belinda 35.
  Another Eleanor Bramble married 4 Apr 1814 James Jeffries, in Washington County, Kentucky.
  One ancestry tree has Thomas's wife as Mary, born 1811, died 9 Sep 1835, and more children.
  Family Search has an alternate marriage date of 16 Apr 1818, Hamilton County, Ohio. This turns out to be the marriage of William to Rachel Ferris.
  1850 census shows Eleanor, age 44, and three children still home,, but in Champaign County, Ohio; William, 26, Harman, 14, Benjamin, 10. She is consistently stated to be born 1804 to 1806, and could not be the mother of the older children, especially John Logan, who was born in 1817. It becomes clear that Thomas must have married more than once.
  Labon and Major Bramble lived in Columbia, Hamilton, Ohio in 1820 census.
  Maj Laban B Fleak born Hamilton Co Ohio 27 jan 1808. His father Peter Fleak born Redstone PA in 1874. Married Lavina Bramble in Hamilton Co Ohio, daughter of Capt Elon Bramble, who served under Gen. Washington. They settled in Hamilton Co Ohio.
  Purchasers of land in SW Ohio. Laban Bramble 1818 Hamilton Co and 1834. Dearborn Co Indiana. Ayers L. Bramble 1836. Hamilton Co.
  Morris Ward, son of Israel and Sarah (Cook) Ward, was about 21 years old when he accompanied his parents from New Jersey to Ohio in the fall of 1811. On Feb 10, 1814, he married Mary Bramble, whose father, Elon Bramble, had brought his family from Pennsylvania to Ohio in the fall of 1801, floating down the Ohio river in a small flatboat. Elon and hiw wife were the parents of six cihldren, three sons and three daughters, Laban, Major, Ayres, Fannie, Lavina and Mary.
Note:   Familysearch and John Wise have Eleanor Bramble the wife of Thomas Rike
