My great grandfather Sam Riley had two Ausenbaugh older half brothers. Tom and Jim.. Sams mother Lucy E. Brown became the second wife of Jeremiah "Jerry" Ausenbaugh Oct 1869 Caldwell Co., KY. Jerry was a much older man than Lucy. In fact Jerrys oldest daughter M.J. wasn't much younger than Lucy. From what I understand Jerry died in a work explosion sometime between 1873 - 1876. I've been told Jerry was the son of Jacob Osenbaugh/Ausenbaugh who came from PA... Jeremiah is listed as 1st marrying a Nancy Davidson in Caldwell County. Lucy remarried to Filmore Riley Dec 1876 in Caldwell County. Lucy and Filmore had 5 more children together. Last one born 1890. Filmore died sometime in the 1890's. There is a picture of Lucy and all her children taken in the mid 1890's to 1898. Oldest son Tom Ausenbaugh is holding his baby son Silas T. and his wife Ruthie is in the picture too. Jim Ausenbaugh is in the picture. Sams son Dudley Riley remembers Jims sons Freddie and Rufas Ausenbaugh. Sams sister Mabel [Riley] Winstead died in 1948. Her obit. mentions her half brother Jim Ausenbaugh living in Dawson Springs at the time of her death (no mention of Tom). However, a grandaughter of Mabels remembers a Jerry Ausenbaugh relative living in IN in late 1940's to early 1950's.
