Looking for the ancestors of my great great grandmother Catherine Cuscaden (Kiskaden) who married a George Hill in Bracken Co., KY, in 1847. It is believed Catherine's mother was a Rachel Kiskaden of Bracken Co. and previously of Nicholas Co. Rachel was the daughter of a Jesse Riggen (mother unknown). Jesse was supposed to have been from MD where Rachel was reportedly born according to the census. Rachel married a James Caskaden (Kiskaden) in 1817 in Bourbon Co., KY. Rachel was listed in her father's will when he died in Nicholas Co., KY , in 1835 or 1836. Other children mentioned in the will were Sally, Mary "Polly" wife of Joshua Selby, Liddie, Jesse husband of Rebecca Drummonds, and Samuel husband of Unis Skeils. According to the EE Barton Papers, one of the known daughters of Rachel was reportedly one- fourth Indian. I don't know if Rachel was part Indian or if James was. Is anyone researching this particular Riggen or Kiskaden family? Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Herb email: [email protected] or [email protected]
