Christen, I do thank you for thinking of me when you so this. So around 1800 a lot of these counties came into existence, but basically they were where the original county/counties stood? What was the original county or counties cut up to make all these about 1800? Lincoln and Jefferson? He might even have been born in Ohio, since the border is so close there.

Carolyn, In the 1880 census of Jackson Co., WVa, my Augustus Riggs is living next to Alvin Perry Riggs. The fact that Alvin Perry names his daughter Augusta and one of the sons of Augustus Riggs names a son Ira Perry makes me believe that there is a connection through Jeremiah. Augustus names his first son, James M. (Mahlon?) Seems like I have heard somewhere the story on Wesley, but would appreciate hearing the facts again. Incidently, I have Bolin connections too and have done research on the Bolins in Athens, Meigs and Vinton Co's. I have looked at the Pa. Web Site, Beers Bios, and gleaned the Riggs info from that source. Always looking for new sources though. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Carolyn McGuire" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, May 13, 2002 2:59 AM Subject: [RIGGS-L] John Augustus Riggs > Marvalene, > > There is John L Riggs (b. 3/30/1824 s/o Mahlon Riggs and Lydia Williams) who > married a Dorothy J.

Hi Catherine- You know this didn't come out the way it started. I go look things up to compile here, and it ends up all different. Then I run out of time, and am anxious to send it. I apologise for not making this post clear. I meant to say that a researcher on the Peake line, thought that W. D. Riggs who signed as a witness on Carter Peake's will (wife Elizabeth Riggs, my brick wall), might have been one of two fellows. The first William D. Riggs married to Darcus, age 77 in the 1850 Marion County Census, living in the Loretto precinct actually, of Washington County. That precinct later became Marion County. They had an elder woman, Rutha living with them, and he thought perhaps that Rutha was misremembered by my family as Rebecca. Next, he thought that perhaps William Riggs married to Ruth Daugherty, 9 March 1809, might be the brother of my Elizabeth b. 1801. I had nothing further on these people. That researcher speaks with other researchers in the family by phone or by mail, so I don't know how readily available any of that info. might be, should the line be proven. I'm sorry, I wish I had more to offer, myself- Christen Catherine Hodnett wrote: >Did you have a definite wife and family for William D. Riggs?

Thad, I have not come across your Rachelle Riggs who married a Thomas Riggs. I don't have Thomas as a Riggs name in the list of children for Samuel Riggs and Sebrina Splawn, unless it was a middle name and didn't get written down. Still looking for more information on Samuel.

Hi Catherine- I had just added this to the word file I am saving on Riggs Posts that May be related to my Riggs Brickwall. I thought of you... "Campbell County, comes into existance in 1800, and is at the North Tip in the slightly East area of KY...just on the Ohio Border Green County comes into existence the same year, and is South of Washington Jefferson County is in existence in 1790, and is on the Ohio River In 1800 Bullit, Nelson, and Washington County spring up to the East of Jefferson, skirting around the South Easerly direction from the Ohio River.

If someone is confused, it is probably because of me...or that's what my husband would vote!!! lol I have a William SUTTON married to a Winifred PEAKE...now because I tend to think in spirals, circles, and all other manner of designs, I connected the dots like this: Stead, listed his Riggs, which I believe he said was the work of another researcher. It included a GREEN BERRY (one of my PHILLIP's family names, likely a relative and a well known politician at the time...and a Carter, found all the way in my family from Lincoln to Nelson Counties..). Led me to this: Winifred PEAKE's brother Robert married an Elizabeth CLARK. They had Carter PEAKE, who married Elizabeth RIGGS, my G.G.G. Grandparents. Samuel b. 1796 would be too young to have had my Elizabeth RIGGS, wife of Carter PEAKE, as she was born 1801. But he could have been her brother. There are, I guess, no records to indicate that though. Carter and Elizabeth's daughter Nancy Nevitt PEAKE married William BEALL PHILLIPS, son of Thomas THORNTON PHILLIPS. The THORNTON name also appears in Stead's chart work. I have the Phillips and the Peakes well documented and am trying to get the Phillips back to VA and/or Maryland, where they seem to have been before to KY. * Robert PEAKE, in 1765, is found in Prince William County, VA. (father of Carter Peake m. to Elizabeth Riggs, who is a brick wall of mine) This line traces back to 440 a.d. * Richard BEALL, father of Wm. traces back to Prince George, Upper Marlboro, Maryland. (his daughter married Thomas Thornton Phillips) ...my Bealls are of the brothers of Ninian, so far as I know, not directly related to the giant himself.. This line traces back to Ninian's infol, but his wife's line traces back to 440 a.d. * James PHILLIPS, was likely of or held titles anyway, in Baltimore Maryland . James apparently married the sister of Samuel CARTWRIGHT (Cartwright's Creek which runs through Station's Run...a number of Stations set up in KY to assure the safety of the settlers into that area..known for it's salt. ) Cartwright a contemporary of Daniel BOONE's, and the Phillips had dealings with Boone as witness to the lands they obtained so they may have traveled together or in conjunction at this time. The most significant link that this leads me to, is that anyone in a position of securing land at this time, would have been most interested in and perhaps following the trail of these people, who went out into the wilderness and did establish these stations, which we have all seen in our history books...well I'm getting ancient, so I'm not sure they are still there. James is expected by many, to be the father of the 4 Phillips' brothers, Of Phillips Station and Station's Run. I am related to 3 of the 4 assumed brothers. LETICIA BLAND PHILLIPS, traces back to 440 a.d. She was wife of the youngest of the 4 assumed brothers...Wm.

Dear Marvalene and others, This is my brick wall too! I too am trying to prove the parentage of my Jane Anne Riggs, d/o James and Violena Dye Riggs sister to John Augustus Riggs. I too have the "story" with no proof. I originally found the story on the "Dye Society" list serve posted under the Thomas Dye family who settled in Meigs Co in the early 1800's. The story was that they went west to IA ca 1837. I then called the Iowa archives and went through several people trying to find out what records might have been available from that time frame, not many. After more research I'm now assuming that the James Riggs in the 1840 Meigs Co census is this James Riggs and Violena Dye. The ages of the children match well, and since they left after 1840 there is a better chance of locating them in Iowa. I have just in the last week hired a genealogist to try to find any records in Iowa that may be of some help. I also hired a genealogist in Meigs Co who checked for guardianship papers and found none. FYI, this story is also listed in a small book written in 1948 by M.E. Welch for the Meigs Co DAR. She chronicled several Meigs families histories in this book, but it is crudely done and not usuable for any primary sourcing. There is no source for this story in this book. The book is only found in the State Library of Ohio in Columbus. If anyone has any sourcing for this story I'd be elated too! Bridget

Marvalene, There is John L Riggs (b. 3/30/1824 s/o Mahlon Riggs and Lydia Williams) who married a Dorothy J. Biles (daughter of Alexander P. Biles). John and Dorothy had a son J.A. Riggs who was born in 1854. I didn't catch the beginning of the thread so I don't know if this person has already been mentioned as a possibility. This information was taken from the "Beers project" website several years ago so I have not personally proven this information. I have some information on the Riggs' who settled in Southeastern Ohio (I'm descended from Jeremiah and Rachel Keller Riggs/Alvin Perry&Nancy Stevens/Wesley Perry & Loraney Hart<interesting story goes with Wesley and Loraney if interested>/William Herbert & Johanna Bolin). Feel free to contact me if you would like additional info on this line. Carolyn Marvalene wrote: > I believe that my John Augustus Riggs, Meigs Co., Oh. is a part of the > Washington Co., Pa.

Hi Frank...Just out of curiosity, and since we both seem to have Carter / Riggs associations, could you tell me then was Anne's name at the time she married Moses Splawn in Missouri, Anne Wilson? And do you know if this Wilson was a resident of KY or of MO? I have been looking for a family of Wilsons married into the Beam line. Jim Beam's sister, Susan......born probably around 1860 ...In Kansas City, MO. The relationship is that Elizabeth Riggs' daughter Nancy Nevitt Peake, was Susan's aunt. Nancy Nevitt married William Beall Phillips, and the name Green Berry belonged to one of his siblings. So my curiosity is peeked. Any ideas appreciated.

I have a record of a Noah Hill Riggs, born May 1837 in Ohio. He died December 12, 1911 in Centerville, Appanoosa County, Iowa. If my records are correct he married Catherine Elliot about 1863 in Jefferson County, Ohio. Noah was the son of Simeon Riggs and Harriett Cheney, and Simeon was the son of Aaron Riggs. I do not have good proof of these records, so they should not be taken for granted. Dick Webber Edmond, Oklahoma [email protected]
