That would be great, Jesse. I'm just chuffed at your interest. Your grandmother probably knew of captain Riley as Sean'O Raghailligh. Once in "Ameri-kay", he evidently dropped the O, and changed to the Anglisized spelling of Riley. Later, as Captain of the San Patricios, he was known as Juan Riley....what else!!
