According to Sudy Amburgey Reynolds the nickname "Champion" was given to Riley as a result of his sharpshooting skills. Apparently it was these same skills that caused his family some type of trouble as some type of "fued" erupted in Knott County. It was a result of this that Riley and the family moved to Taney County, Missouri for a brief period of time.
Hopefully this can be something that I am able to revisite in the blog in more detail.
