I'm trying to find Joe RIGGS and any of his family that was in the Rush Springs, Grady Co., Oklahoma area in the 1940's and earlier. His wife was a LATHAM, not sure of her first name at this point, but it could have been Martha Josephine Latham. If anyone knows of this family, please contact me at my email address. Thank you, Doris Irons Greer [email protected]

Hello Pam I', interested in the Riggs infromation too. Thanks Mary Rose Riggs

Hi Pam, I am interested in the Riggs info you have, could you send me some of it? Mike Riggs

Pam, Which line of Riggs? Do you mean from the States you have connected or traced them back to England? I have a connection to the line of Riggs that goes back to Edward, three of them I think, and to a Richard, and lastly A MIles/Myles. Morristown, New Jersey.

Hello everyone - I have researched a family of Riggs who settled in Wolverhampton, Staffordshire, England,after leaving Dorset. A dynamic tree showing this line, back to the 1600's, fully interactive is available to view on the following web site. It is a commercial site, but the Family History pages have details of the tree, which can be downloaded and viewed offline, and also of a lot of free information about Shropshire, England and the town of Dawley. Anyone who thinks they have a connection to this line of Riggs is welcome to get in touch for free exchange of Riggs research. Pam Riggs

It's been a pleasure sharing ancestry information with everyone, but I am going to be busy with grandkids throughout the summer, making memories. Hope to catch you all later on. Thanks Again!

I'm hoping that someone may connect with this family and be able to provide the names of the parents. Many of them migrated to TN. 1. Henry RIGGS, b. abt 1826, AL 2. William George RIGGS, b. 11 Mar. 1828, Birmingham, AL 3. Thomas J. RIGGS, b. abt 1829, AL 4. Isaah Calvin RIGGS. b. Feb. 1834, AL 5. Mary J RIGGS, b. abt 1836, AL 6. Samuel W. RIGGS, b. abt 1838, AL 7. Sarah A. RIGGS, b. abt 1840, AL. Any help is most gratefully appreciated. Peggy Riggs Kopp

Peggy, Don't think my Riggs reached Alabama. Still looking for SAmuel of 1796, and or more proof that he belongs or does not belong to Bethuel and Nancy Lee Riggs. I found a Samuel Riggs in Jefferson County, 1850 with wife Elizabeth and children. Not my Samuel. Found one in the 1840 census same county, with wife and 7 children. Hard to say if they are the same Samuel. Sue ________________________________________________________________ GET INTERNET ACCESS FROM JUNO! Juno offers FREE or PREMIUM Internet access for less!

Francis and William Riggs, or who? I don't have either a Francis or William Riggs. I do have Francis Downing, and I don't know what cemetery he is buried in.

List, I am still looking for Samuel Riggs born 1796. I have found a Samuel Riggs in the 1840 census of Jefferson County, Tn who could me the right Samuel. Does anyone else have a Samuel Riggs in Jefferson Co., Tn. Besides his wife, there are three females and four males listed. That can agree with Samuel's household in 1840. There is also a Samuel Riggs in the 1850, with many other Riggs that doesn't figure out to be my Samuel. It makes him born in 1803. His wife is Elizabeth. I also have found indications of Sameul Riggs in Grainger County. They are only indexes so I can't check them out online. Does anyone know which Samuel Riggs (or Riggs) is in Grainger County, 1830/1840? Please respond at [email protected], and thank you very much, Sue Hodnett

Maude May Riggs was my daddy's mother's mother. Have a wonderful portrait of her with her sister. Been told all my life that I favor her. I'm sure Mom has information that I need to dig out, but wondering if any of you know of her. She was born probably before 1885 because her grandson, my daddy, was born in 1925. She married Michael Servetus Probst. They had three children: Joseph "Joe" Probst, Lewis Michael Probst, and Ola Lee Probst. Lived most, if not all, their lives in Sherman area of Grayson Co., Texas.

In your letter you mentioned the Meigs book. I have Tryal Meigs (1646 CT) dau of John, Vincent, Lawrence, Nicholas etc. Are these in the Meigs book? I would like to get a hold of it to compare. Thad
