Bonney, Volume I. Mentioned him several times. He was in the militia. He donated some land to the area. The Old Rigney farm was within the present boundary lines of Tacoma. It mentions that Mr. and Mrs John Rigney were married in New York, September 30, 1848. He helped to establish Fort Steilacoom, August 1849. He was born in Ireland, June 12, 1815 and died at Steilacoom, May 15, 1892. There was also a picture of the two of them. He sitting, she standing to his right, (photographers left).
