I may have asked this before, but does anyone have this couple in their family: if so, are there children for them? John Riggs, born 22 Dec 1771 Oxford, New Haven, Ct and died 14 Nov 1855 Oxford, New Haven, Ct; married Mary Beecher 1 Jan 1793. Her father is Isaac Beecher and his father is John Riggs who married Elizabeth Hawkins. I know I have seen their names before, but have no children for them? Sue

Riggs to Anne Jones 2 Feb 1882 Enoch Riggs to Ann Littlefield 27 May 1838 William R Rigg to Eliza H. Thomas 30 Aug 1885 ( not a mistake, his last name appears Rigg in the index) Sue

Taramasso, The Ohio Riggs you mention may be a part of my ancestry. I would be interested in the info you mention in the History of Washington County, Ohio. How best can I see a copy?

Sorry, should have said the preceding information is in the Ohio 1850 census. Reuben is 45 years old. Peggy

I found some census information for a Reuben Riggs in the 1850 census if anyone is interested in the details. His wife was Sarah and he had 5 children (?). One A. A. C. Riggs (age 18) is listed as being from Canada. There's also a family of Alma Riggs (43), with 8 children. These were all found in Clinton Co, Bloomfield Twp. Peggy

If anyone is looking in Washington County, Ohio for RIGGS, I have two pages from a History of Washington County, Ohio that list RIGGS. Those men listed are Isaac, Hezekiah, Squire, James and Basil. Also, this might help someone, though I can't tell you what the all the reference letters stand for, but I beleive that MGS is "Maryland Genealogical Society" -- RIGGS. Charles RIGGS was born June 8, 1756 and resided on the Potomac River near Hoe's Ferry in Charles County, Maryland. He enlisted on March 29, 1777 at Portobacco for three years in Col. John STONE's Maryland Troops and became a Corporal in the Maryland Line. (Ref: MRR:44) He applied for and received pension S32484 in Greenup County, Kentucky in 1832 and soon thereafter moved to Wabash County, Illinois and requeste his pension to be transferred.

Someone sent me some web addresses to check out, but as far as I can tell they are entirely worthless. I could not find anything about Riggs at any one of the four I tried. Nothing informative or helpful at all. Why post addresses like these?

They don't lead me to any Riggs. They may not be any good anymore? Sue

I have no idea how my computer sent that message to you. I apologize. Rhoda

Tooth came out ok- no problems !!! This morning, my jaw is a little sore, but nothing to cry about. I can't believe it all has gone so well!! Guess I was a good girl (Joke) Sounds like you had a very busy weekend - so far. I am going to print out thee thing about Sharon Moskay and send it to Chronicle & Trinidad Plus. I assume it will be ok. I may just handle it as a letter to the editor.

Brian, I have Riggs I believed lived in Tn, and Mo. In Mo they were in Daviess, Ray and grundy counties. mid 1800's. Samuel Riggs was born in 1796. Most of his children were born in the time frame of your Thomas. I don't know where Samuel was born yet. If you come across anything on this family that might connect to your Thomas let me know, please, and I will try to do vice versa. Samuel married Sebrina Splawn who was born in TN, I believe, but the Splawns are strong in MO, too. Sue ________________________________________________________________ GET INTERNET ACCESS FROM JUNO!

I am resubmitting this List: I have often wondered about this Samuel Riggs and wife Charity Riggs. They are of New Haven, CT. Does anyone know if her maiden name is Riggs? I have a Samuel Riggs born 1796 who had a daughter, Charity Riggs. Lots of similar family names. Is this a coincidence or what? Can anyone tell me more about Samuel and Charity Riggs, married in 1770. There is a spot in their list of children where Samuel of 1796 could fit. But they could not have been married in 1770 as one record says because Samuel Riggs was born in 1770. Their earliest children appear to be a set of twins born in 1797. There could have been a child born in 1796. Is anyone researching this family right now? Sue Hodnett

Frank, I don`t suppose you have your copy of the Riggs Family Genealogy by J H Wallace in electronic version, would you? Kind regards, Debbie Fenemore (nee Riggs) -----Original Message----- From: Frank Neher [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: 17 May 2002 08:34 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [RIGGS-L] Re: RIGGS-D Digest V02 #84 Anne asked about the Riggs Family Genealogy by J. H. Wallace. This book is available on microfilm from the Family Histry Library of the LDS Church. I have a copy made from the film and it prints out at about 100 pages. Remember that there are several differences of opinion about certain sections of the book. In other words some of the information contained needs to be documented more thoroughly.
