Sue, The film number is: 6046827; item 1. How's your hunt for Samuel coming? I keep my eye out as I pile through my reams of paper. Sarah (Riggs) de Bree [email protected]

I had to go to the 'site map' to find it, tho. It didn't come up with a search. Peggy

I can't view the www.higginsonsbook.com site. mary

Annie, Grundy and Mercer county is in Trenton and Princeton Missouri.

Mary I do not know where Grundy and Mercer Counties are. There are a couple of Riggs books available thru Higginson.

Sarah, I must be doing something wrong. I can't get it to list a book by John Wallace or about Riggs at all. What's the secret? Peggy

Garrett De Groff, This is Mary Branson I was Wondering If This Book You Are Talking About Has Anything About The Riggs In Grundy County And Mercer County. My Mother Is Doris Riggs(Moss) Her Father Was William Franklin Riggs Married Halie May Reams. If This Book Has Anything To Do With Them I Would Be Interested In It. Thank You [email protected]

Frank, Do you have the film number for that book, the Riggs Family Genealogy by Wallace? I would like to view that.

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. Frank Neher

Judy Go to www.higginsbooks.com and then to the genealogy section..I just checked and they still have it listed for $37.00. They are reprints. This co specializes in this type of material and I have ordered from them several times. It may take a few weeks but it is worth it!

The Louisiana Territory was created in 1805. By 1820 Howard was a well established county in the North Western portion of MO. Ray County was formed from the central and greatest portion of Howard County, by 1830. The County book I have covers the changes by decades, and doesn't list exact dates. In 1830, Ray county included all of what today is Harrison, Daviess, Caldwell, Ray, Carroll, Livingston, Grundy and Mercer Counties. If Nancy was born in 1805 she may have shown up on the extant federal census of 1830, when Ray County was recorded.

I appreciate you posting the will of William. From what I read in the article in the Meigs Family History Book, I thought that Jeremiah's children would be individually named. Do you have the names of William Roby's children? Again, thank you for the will posting.

Hi Jim, You'll find that I eventually replied to you last night ;-)) As you'll see from my web-page listing my genealogical credentials, I'm actively involved in a great number of genealogical/family history organisations and activities. I can't always therefore guarantee a response by return, I'm afraid, especially if it involves researching my records to help answer it. However, as a member of the Guild of One-Name Studies, I observe their rule that all contacts should be responded to within a reasonable time - in your case it was 5 days from your original e-mail of 9th May and 3 from your "chaser" of 11th May.
