    My daddy, Douglas Page, used to take me to this store when I was a little girl. The road in front was clay. We lived in Florida, but my grandmother, lived in Riddleville. This brings back so many memories. Thank you!

        Oh My! Sheila how wonderful to find you here. I’ve just sent you a friend’s request on FB. Just seeing Uncle Red’s name, brought back so many wonderful memories, and tears to my eyes.

      So, my grandmother was a Page. All I really know is that at one point they lived in Cordele, GA and that’s where my mom was born. My mom had an Aunt Mamie? Who reportedly married a man that owned or whose family owned the general store in Riddleville. She mentioned the name Tom Bryan (I thought she said Bryant). Anyway. just doing some light searching for the Page name.

    I am searching for information regarding my great-grandfather, Dr. George McDuffie Duggan and his wife Jimmie Adams. He was the doctor in Riddleville from approximately 1858 to 1875.His children were Mary Ann, Nellie Lou, Mac, and Mark.Their mother, Jimmie died in childbirth in 1871. Both are buried in the City cemetery. Do any of you have any idea of where they lived ? Any old birth papers signed by him, etc-
    His son, Mac lived in Riddleville and died in 1955- surely someone remembers something about the Duggan family- I really hope you can assist me-Kathy Marnell.

      Mr. Mac and Mrs, Claire Duggan lived in Riddleville next to the cemetery. The house is not there anymore. I remember them from when I was a child. They had several grand kids that visited them. Jane and Twyla Ebron is probably mispelled. The other grands I can’t remember. Twyla still lives in Washington county.

        Hello to all concerned, I am Danny Allen Day, the son of Priscilla Ebron Day. James (MAC) Duggan and Clara L. Duggan are my great grandparents. Their daughter Ruth Duggan is my grandmother. Ruth’s children are Priscilla, Buddy, Kay, Twyler, and Jane. Buddy is only one to have past on. I would love to make contact with anyone that can give me a little insight into my Riddle and Duggan family. Recently, I discovered that Riddleville, GA. was named after Clara’s Great Grandfather (Anderson Riddle). Anderson’s father Captain Cato Riddle fought in the Revolutionary War and was awarded a land grant of ten thousand acres in Washington County, GA. Jackson Baptist Church Cemetery on hwy 242 is were my ancestor are resting awaiting our Lords return. dday237@yahoo.com

        Hello Charles. I’m Kathy Marnell. My great-grandfather was Dr. George McDuffie Duggan. I’ve often wondered where they lived. Do you remember anything about their house ? I think Mr. Mac was my great uncle. His sisters were Mary Ann and Nellie Lou and his brother was Mark Duggan. Each child had families and the families have continued to grow quite large. I know them all. I certainly would enjoy hearing anything else you remember. Mr. Mac died in 1955. The other 3 children passed away, Maryann, my grandmother died in 1958, Nellie in the 80s and Mark in the late 80s or early 90s.

    I love this old store in Riddleville. I go through Riddleville, Davisboro, and Harrison on my way from Lexington, SC to Edison, GA, just to ride through and see them.
