The Riddles were a prominent and prosperous New England family. Isaac the original owner of this property had also owned property in Bedford as well as the first mill to be built at Merrimack New Hampshire. <br /> <br /> <p>He and his brother or possibly cousin William P. Riddle formed a militia company of exempts i.e. self-armed and equipped volunteers over 40 years of age who although exempt for military duty chose to organize as a militia unit. The company drilled daily in expectation that as a result of heightened Anglo-American tension over the Oregon-Canada borderit would be called on to fight the British at Portsmouth. But that never happened the unit remained active and grew following the war. <br /> <br /> <p>Although Isaac apparently lost interest William continued his service and rose to the rank of Major General in the New Hampshire militia before resigning in 1835. <br /> <br /> <p>For more information about the Riddle Family see Ridlon's History of the Ancient Ryedales and their Descendants. . .

Its aim is now to provide a representation of the Collection as a whole.
