Dear Listers,... Perhaps someone out there may also be connected to the RIGGS of NY, particularly in Jefferson Co., NY and be able to help me...I have a quest...James RIGGS, b. 10 April 1789 in Oxford, CT...m. Pamelia (or Permilia) CARRINGTON in Woodbridge, Ct on 27 November 1811, and died (probably in Dexter,) Jefferson Co., NY on 26 June 1856 ...They are both buried in the Dexter Cemetery in NY along with other family members...If anyone recognizes any of these names or dates I would really like to connect with them...I believe my gg grandfather La Fayette RIGGS may be their son. He is listed on the 1850 census in the James RIGGS household as Newton LaFayette RIGGS... LaFayette left NY and I find him again in the 1860 census in Lowndes Co., MS with a wife, Mary Francis MIXON and children, Josephine, James R. and Sally (my g grandmother)...LaFayette died in 1864, naming his mother, Pamelia (Permilia) in his will leaving his real and personal property in Jefferson Co., NY to her ...Any help would sure be appreciated...I realize this is a long note, and thank you for taking the time to read it... Best regards,...Geneice Morris Sarah Geneice Morris (sgmgwg @aol.com)
