The Family Scribe

The history of the Riley family is not just written in dates and names, but in the tireless dedication of those who preserve it. Lyn Haynes has served as the Chief Family Scribe, performing an enormous amount of work to document, organize, and share our collective heritage.

Her efforts ensure that the stories of General Riley, Dessie Sweat, and their descendants are not lost to time. Through her meticulous record-keeping and passion for family unity, she has built a foundation for future generations to understand their roots and take pride in their lineage.

We honor Lyn Haynes for her crucial role in bringing the Riley Family Reunion project to life.
