My line is through his daughter Adeline Edwinna Riggs who m. George Burgon, and their daughter Lulie Maria Burgon, who married Heber Shulsen. I've posted my database on Rootsweb WorldConnect. To search just that database, you can go to WorldConnect Help and ask to search the sanford-shulsen database, or use the link http://worldconnect.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?db=sanford-shulsen&I11.x=22&I11.y=7 I've traced most of his lines back to the immigrant ancestor, and the material is almost all from published sources. I'd be interested in exchanging information with others, including pictures related to this family. The Riggs line includes a line to Richard Warren of the Mayflower.

If so, I have info on his ancestors and some of his descendants. I'd be grateful if you could let me know what your records state, proven or otherwise, so that we can compare notes

My Riggs are found in the old Washington County, Daviess, Mclean, Nelson, Hopkins, and to a lesser degree in Hancock, Ohio, Muhlenberg, Webster and Henderson Counties. If anyone knows of any books I can purchase that will give details of wills, tax lists, and land grants for these mentioned counties of Kentucky, Or can do lookups for me. I would be grateful.

Hi, My wife's grand father was Brannick Benjamin Riggs, 1867 who married a Smith and had a Benjamin Smith 1899 and in this generation a Benjamin Charles Riggs 1972. Our earliest Riggs is Thomas, 1802 of Kentucky or Tennessee. Have you come across him at any time? We are at a stalemate with his siblings and/or parents. Thanks Thad

Hello List, My RIGGS family started in Accomack County, Virginia. I am sure some of the early members moved on to surrounding counties and states during the 1700's and early 1800's. Such names as John, Moses, Joshua and Isaac, Watson, Benjamin Riggs and others. If you come across any like these please let me know. David Harrison Riggs. DHRiggsLondon@aol.com

The earliest Riggs I can trace back to is Leroy A. Riggs and his brother John Riggs who lived in Saline County Arkansas in 1860. Leroy moved to Pulaski County in 1870. It looks like both John and Leroy were born in Alabama with a possible 1821 birthdate for Leroy. Leroy was married to Nancy E. Sims in Alabama. They had the following children: Georgia aka Georgianna Nancy Martha Adaline Lucy Richard Leroy died in 1874

Actually, I think what he did was to copy town records and maybe he copied them just as they were. By the way, there seems to be lots of Woodruffs in Litchfield if you are interested. Joyce

Coincidentally, since its author was George C. Woodruff, Wallace quotes Jeremiah's wife as Anna Woodruff.
