So I went in search of the microfilm of the book from which the WPA made the transcription.

Not a lot of difference Indexed as Brazell Riddle pg 96 by the WPA project I was unsuccessful searching for him in the two indexes that were in the book.
From the Inventories, Sales, Wills, 1827-1844, Vol. 01 portion of the records.Between Document dated Jan 2nd 1834 and A will published April 2nd 1835
I have two questions. Were there 3 items(Horse, bridle, and saddle) for sale or 2(Horse bridle, and saddle). I know nothing about horses horseback riding or their value today or in that time period. $31 seems rather low.
Also I'd like to know who are the 5 heirs?
This Bazell is likely the Bazil Riddle that I believe was either the father of Amelia "Milly" Riddle Hitchcock or an older brother. I find him first receiving land in Warren Co TN
Entered a claim on Aug 24th 1807
Surveyed May 21st 1808
State Granted March 1st 1809
Recorded May 5th 1809
Total Land in Grant: 93 and 1/2 acres off of Collins River
Sold: April 10th 1810 9 1/2 acres to John Helms $40
Land Surveyed: May 12th 1825 Blue Springs Creek
Sold 28 acres to Wm Edde(likely father to Joseph Edde son-in-law of Millie Riddle Hitchcock)
Bazil is indexed as Bogle Riddle in the 1805 Roane Co. Tennessee Tax list. Milly Riddle would marry in Roane Co. TN on March 11th 1806 to George Hitchcock.
On the 1836 tax list and 1840 Federal Census, there is a Britton Riddle living in Warren County. Could he be kin to Bazil or Milly?
