This is a Keddie/Keddie astract. JOHN RIGGIN, planter 08/22/1747 10/25/1751 Bequeaths to: 1. Ann Riggin --wife -after debts paid all estate real and personal on that side of the branch where dwelling plantation now stands for her widowhood -not to make presents of any legacies after testators decease -named executrix 2. Robert Dukes --son-in-law (wife deceased) -to have dwelling plantation after widow's decease 3. Sabarah Riggin --daughter (alias Ward) Sarah married a Ward shortly before will was written Jonathan Riggin --son John Riggin --son Stephen Riggin --son William Riggin --son Alce Ward --daughter Racheiel Dyes --daughter -personal estate after widow's decease to be divided equally among them Witnesses: John Roach John Johnson Thomas Cullin Then came: John Roach BTW Rachel Daugherty was John's first wife, but she is NOT the mother of Jonathan. The second wife, Ann Dukes Riggin was Jonathan's mother. The problem is that there is not a Dukes will to name grandchildren or a Riggin will or administration to name Jonathan's children. There are lists all over the net, where is the proof? I just cautioning you that this link is a weak one. Stephen Riggin married his cousin Sarah M Mathews.
