The following is a will abstract for Somerset Co., MD (unfortunately, I forgot to copy the name of the book, but I think it was just called Will Abstracts of Worcester and Somerset Co., MD. I located the book in the Historical Museum Library in Augusta, KY.) The first one is for John Riggen, Somerset Co., 2 Nov 1773, 22 May, 1776 To wife: Jemimah Riggen, Excx., during life, dwelling plantation To son: Obediah Riggen, now dwelling plantation, orchards and land belonging also 25 acres of Marsh lying in Joans Island Marshes, 100 acres Goolden Lion, also hand mill and chest at death or marriage of wife Jemimah, if son Obediah Riggen die and leaves no heirs above lands and marshes to son John Riggen, also personality to both, Obediah to have one negro. To dau: Sarah McCrady, negro girl. To dau: Mary Matthews, negro girl after death or marriage of mother. To son: Nathan Riggen, negro after death of wife and 10 (this had I guess what is called a English pound sign in front of it). To dau: Roday Riggen, negress and feather bed and furniture after death of wife. To grandson: Ruben Riggen, 10/. To granddau: Elizabeth Riggen, 10/. To grandson Jesse Riggen, 10/.

Test: Purnell Outten; David Matthews (could this be Mary's husband?); Obed Riggen Wills 41, f. 82. Inv. * Accts. * The following was found in the Coventry Parish Records: Shadrak Riggen and Comfort Cameron were m. 18 Sept 1764. Children listed were: Rueben, b. 20 Sep 1765 Elisabeth, b. 5 Aug 1767 Jesse, b. 25 May 1769 Rachel, b. 13 Mar 1771 I was sent the following on Aug 11, 1997 by someone who did a lookup for me: Will of John McCREADY, Somerset Liber WK, folio 127, written 9 Jun 1779, probated 12 Jul 1779, included the folowing item: to nephews and nieces - Rubin Riggin, Jesse Riggin, Elizabeth Riggin, Rachel Riggen children of Shadrack Riggin dec'd, legacy left by my dec'd wife by her father John Riggin. I take it this most likely meant that McCready married Shadrack Riggin's sister (which looks to be the Sarah McCrady mentioned in John Riggin's will) On Aug 22, 1997, I was sent the following as the result of a lookup: Dryden's Worcester Co.
