A History of the Northern Peninsula of Michigan and Its People/part of son John H. Riley bio, page 678: "Hughen Riley was born in 1817, in England, where he was reared and educated. Emigrating to this country at the age of twenty-five years, he came to New York city in a sailing vessel, and for several years afterwards worked at the printer's trade in Massachusetts and Rhode Island. Desirous of acquiring land of his own, he subsequently became one of the early settlers of Manitowoc County, Wisconsin, where he purchased a timbered tract of land, from which he cleared and improved a valuable homestead, living for a number of years in the log cabin which he first erected in the wilderness. Loyal to the country of his adoption, he enlisted during the Civil war in Company G, Thirty-second Wisconsin Volunteer Infantry, and with his regiment marched with General Sherman to the sea. He became prominent in public affairs, filling the various township offices, being first identified with the Whigs, and later was a staunch supporter of the principles of the Republican party. Relig-iously he was a member of the Church of England. He died at Menominee, Michigan, in 1903, at the age of eighty-six. His wife, whose maiden name was Martha Burges, was born in 1820 in England, and died in 1905, at Manitowoc. Seven children were born of their union, and all are now living, John H. being the youngest child."
