There is a Jesse Riggs 48 [b 1802] listed line 41 on the 1850 census for Marion Co., AL page 144A. He was listed as born in TN. With him: Line 42 Rebecca 48 b GA [last line on page] Next page-144B: Line 1 Mary T Riggs 78 b TN Martha S 9 b AL Next: Line 3 Henderson Riggs 20 b AL Sarah A 20 b TN Rebecca J 1/12 b AL Next: Line 6 William Rigs [note spelling] 32 b AL Ann 29 b TN John M 15 b AL Andrew J 12 b AL William T 9 b AL James J 7 b TN Mary A 8 b AL Alexander 5 b AL Henry S 3 b AL Wesley 2 b AL Robert 1 b AL Matilda C 3/12 b AL Same page: Line 25 James Riggs 43 b TN Sarah 39 b TN Robert C 3 b AL Irvin W 2 b AL William 1/12 b AL Then they were listed on the 1860 census on pg 495B of Marion Co., AL Jesse 57 b TN Rebecca 57 b GA [No other Riggs on the page with them, the page before or the page after.] Could this Jesse be him? Since there is no record of white settlers in the Birmingham area in 1802, and reports that it was a sort-of-no-man's-land for the Indians, it is unlikely that he was born there.
