N. Riggins could stand for Nathan or Nathaniel or Nicholas. A Nicholas Regan of Berkley VA sells land in Fairfax VA in 1778. A Nathaniel Ragin (b. by 1772) in 1793 Wilkes NC. Cannot find him after this. -----Original Message----- From: Court Conkwright Sent: Saturday, September 22, 2007 9:55 PM To: ragan-roots@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [RAGAN-ROOTS] oddities to share Here's one for you all to take a look at. Since I am looking mainly in Mo and ILL. I found this in the History of Gasconade Co., MO. Gasconade Co., Mo is very close to Audrain and Cole., MO where both James Joseph and Powell Riggins were from. They first appear in these area in 1816-1819. Now one for you Maryellen! From the History of Gasconade County. Page 620 "The first permanent settlers, it is believed, came into the county in 1812, and among them were Henry Reed, on the Bourbeuse River, James Roark, three miles southeast of Hermann, and Isaac Perkins, William West, N. Riggins, and a few others who made their living principally by hunting and trading with the Indians." Now remember that John Riggin from Madison Co., ILL moved into Gasconade Co., Mo ca. 1840 and died there ca. 1844. Now my question is who is this N. Riggins? Does anyone have him in a data base in this area around 1812? ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to RAGAN-ROOTS-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message
