There is also a James Andrew Orrick, born 1893 in Pike Co AR.
There is also an Andrew Orrick, born around 1882 in TN to Andrew Jackson Orrick and Precilla Summers.

Rylie Texas

Rylie TX is a very small town Southeast of Dallas in Dallas county. Near the intersection of Loop 635, I20 and highway 175.

The city was on land owned by John R Rylie who settled around 1850. Here is the WOW grave of his son or grandson.

There is no known connection between John Riley Arrick (1863-190?) to John W Rylie (1863-1903), only 10 miles away in Kaufman county. It's just a joke by the genealogy gods to confuse us more than we already are.
