Wanda, the Phoebe Riggs Brindley Family, a widow with two sons and several daughters came from Frankin Co Ga to Cherokee and Blount Co's in 1819. Don't know if any other Rigg's came with them. They were the first settlers here Brindley Mountian was named for them! sons were, Asa Riggs Brindley and Mace Thomas Paine Brindley.Wonder if these were passed down names---Eudicia, Lucinda,Euterpsia,Lodica, Eudoxie,Manilla,Evalina, If yours came from St Clair Co, they may not be related. Helen Brindley

Jim H., One day I think we will be able to connect all the Rigg's in Tn together, They must have b een the first white people there.Have almost given up hope off pinning our's down! Our Phoebe was born ca 1769 in Tn, before it was a state. Her father was said to be Dr Asa Riggs, since I can't find an Asa anywhere , he must have been known as something else then . Phoebe's husband was Frazier Brindley, they lived in Jeff Co Tn in 1795, Frazier was on a deed with Jesse Riggs in Jeff and HawkinsCo's. They went ot Franklin Co Ga about 1800. There was a Bethuil Riggs lived nearby, Good Luck! Helen Brindley

Helen: The Jesse Riggs that Asa was on the Deed with was one of two people. Edward Riggs brother or the son of John Riggs from Maryland and a Minister. The Jesse Riggs (Edwards Brother) moved on to Lincoln Co. TN and died their in the 1820's. I haven't got that far back in tracking the Riggs, I am still trying to find out what happened to Samuel Leonidus Riggs of McMinn Co. TN. Samuel was the brother of my ggrandfather and a greatgrandson of Edward Riggs. Jim H.
