Stumbling Blocks 'R' Us!

Reel & Reeder: Elizabeth Reel married William Smith, father of Ama Jemima Smith Crousore. Elizabeth's parents, Nicholas Reel and Amy Reeder are short on vital statistics. Estimates are available for the birth and death of Nicholas, but no marriage date. Amy is sans any vitals whatsoever! The Reels, Reeders, Smiths and Crousores traveled from Ohio to Indiana as a group. 

Rogers & Roberts: This is part of my Welsh Quaker line. Roger [ap Robert] Roberts was the immigrant and his kids broke the patronymic legacy by adopting the Rogers [ap Roger] surname. Getting Roger ap Robert's lineage back a few generations would be nice, but patronymically problematic. His father would be Robert ap _______. Outside of getting the BMD dates fleshed out for the Rogers clan, this family is in pretty good shape. The family as I have them so far in patronymics would be Elizabeth verch John ap Evan ap John ap Roger ap Robert.
 
Rinker: The Rinkers got John Rogers booted from the Friends. He married widow Mary Magdeline Rinker Allemong, a nice Swiss Lutheran girl. I received my Rinker info dating back to Zurich Canton, Switzerland in the early 1300s from another researcher in two different reports. The 2nd made additions and corrections to the 1st. Other than confirming about 500 years of Swiss research, not much is needed. :)-

Riddlesdale: The Riddlesdales [Jasper-Henry-John-Susan] are missing the usual BMDs. This is a family from the late 1400s into the mid-1600s. Acquiring the missing details could be either a breeze or a nightmare depending on the Boxford parish records in Suffolk, England.

Remington: The Remingtons cover 1450-1750. I have some BMD gaps, as usual. Fleshing out the family stories would be a big plus.
