Hi list, If anyone has any connection to Alfred Great Riggs or any other Riggs in the same line, please contact me. We are a group of Riggs cousins from all over America that trace our Riggs line back through many states such as Kentucky, Arkansas, Louisiana being just a few, to Accomack County, Virginia. We will share if you will join our Riggs Cousin's Club. (No money involved) Alfred Great Riggs born 12 July 1879. McLean County, Kentucky. Son of Logan Thomas Riggs and Elizabeth "Nancy" Jane Bryant. Grand son of William Buchanan Riggs and Alicy C. Scott.  Married Mary Duessie Davis 15 July 1900. Died 5th March 1952 in Hopkins County, Kentucky. Children: Henry Douglas Riggs, Erma Vada Riggs, Hazel Ruth Riggs, Aminell Riggs, Carl Clifton Riggs, Euen Finis Riggs and Estelle Riggs Regards, David Harrison Riggs

We are a group of Riggs cousins who all descend from Abraham Riggs who was age 13 when he and his brother Isaac Riggs age 15 were brought to Accomack County, Virginia in the year 1687 under the Headrights law until reaching the age of 21. Today our line is spread across America and beyond. We suspect some of our early Accomack Riggs went to Maryland and North Carolina. But have not been able to prove this. If you have the link, we will be happy to welcome you to our Riggs Cousin's Club. We welcome anyone that is of the same Accomack Riggs line. A large number of our line have been found in Kentucky, in Washington, Daviess, McLean and other Counties. Also Arkansas, Louisiana and too many other places to mention.
