I have research the William Powell Riggins(he also went by Powell) from Mexico, Mo and have a good file on him. I have always believed that this Powell is connected to my line as was yet another Riggins just down the road from Powell in Mo, his name was Joseph Riggins. I also have a very good file on him. My R"s(Riggin) lived right across the river(Mississippi) in Madison Co., ILL and I have a written story told by my GG Uncle Riggin that this Powell from Mexico, Mo was from our line. I just need to dust off the cobwebs and take a look at it again. I do know for sure that my John and Henry Riggin(I am from Henry) did come out of TN in the every early 1800's and settled in Madison Co. From yet about source of a very old family stories handed down in writing........brothers Will, Joseph and John came north and settled in this area(ILL and MO) John younger brother Henry can be connected to John by court records that I have from Madison Co. I have worked on these lines for years. When I get to my other computer, I will let you know more about this Powell. I do have William Powell Riggins, Will and have land records on him. I live very close to the Court House that I pulled them out of........I will post more about him shortly and Joseph Riggins........Court ------ Original Message ------ Received: Wed, 28 Jul 2010 11:44:18 AM MDT From: james garrett <jwgarrett@webtv.net> To: <ragan-roots@rootsweb.com> Subject: Re: [RAGAN-ROOTS] William R's M'ellen OK I'm back Wm Regon's-2 (James-1/Joan) wife was Elizabeth Bridget, thus, I dont think he was md to Graces daughter (a Powell). Wm's-2 birth date, is 31 Jan 1690. His son Wm Powell Riggin-3 was b. 10 Ap 1722 (from St Paul's Parish records). His will was dated 4 Apr 1770 & recorded May 1770 Bute NC. Wm Powell "R"-3 had sons 6 sons 2 of whom were Wm (David?)-4 b. abt 1750 & Powell-4 b. abt 1753. I think that son Wm (David?)-4 b. abt 1750 was in Chatham NC in 1790 & in Pendleton SC in 1800 where he appears with his alleged son Powell Riggins-5 b. 1775 (md to Sarah Holloway). This Wm Powell-5 apparently died 1845 in SC. Also I think the Wm-5 (b. 1755-1774) in 1800 Chatham is W'ms-4 son. The other son (of Wm-3) Powell "R"-4 b. abt 1753 (md to Ruth Trice) was in Orange NC in 1790, 1800, and died 1806. There is apparently another Wm Powell "R" b. 1777 and died 1853 MO. I know nothing more of this person. But why would Grace Powell mention Wm "R" (b. 1690) and his son Wm Powell "R" (b. 1722in her 1734 will? It would be logical to speculate that Wm-2 was a son-in-law & his son was Grace's grandson, and assume Jane "R" was Wm's daughter. Wm did not have a "known" daughter named Jane according to birth records. His only known children were John b. 1717, Powel b. 1722, Keziah b. 1727, Elizabeth b. 1731, Bridget b. 1733.
