Ok, an additional hint...
at 116 of his, I was made, he carried the last one of its kind.

Incorrect, Arvedui II.
Just for clarity...I am going to post the original riddle with the additional hint given later...all in one post. I am the only one, yet just one of many. with 99 of mine, I made one, with 104 of mine, I made another one my two had none. at 116 of his, I was made, he carried the last one of its kind. Who am I?

Could it be Elrond?
I'm not sure about this, but it could be that he got one son when he was 99 and one at 104. His two sons had no children (that i have heard of), Earendil was 116 when he was born, and he bore the only remaining Silmaril.

Nope
 Think hard about the first two lines. A silmaril is not the "last one of its kind" that I am looking for. Limit your search to Appendix A.

Could it be Dis daughter of Thrain? She is the only dwarf-woman mentioned in the books, and the years work out. Also, her father carried the last dwarf-ring.
