I do know she was born in Oxford, New Haven, Connecticut March 17, 1816. I have found some possible families, but can't find anything to confirm or deny. A possibility is this Samuel Riggs Birth: 7 Aug 1770 in Oxford, New Haven, CT Baptism: 26 May 1776 Congregational Church, Oxford, CT Death: 18 Nov 1835 in Oxford, New Haven, CT Father: John Riggs b: 10 Apr 1743 in Derby, New Haven, CT Mother: Elizabeth Hawkins b: 10 Jan 1746 in Oxford, New Haven, CT Marriage: Charity Riggs Married: bef 1797 The researcher says they had 21 children and listed Eunice b: 27 Jun 1797 in Oxford, New Haven, CT Leman b: 19 Jul 1799 in Oxford, New Haven, CT Elizabeth b: 2 Aug 1801 in Oxford, New Haven, CT Anne b: 2 Aug 1801 in Oxford, New Haven, CT Pierpont b: 18 May 1803 in Oxford, New Haven, CT Chary b: 9 Apr 1805 in Oxford, New Haven, CT Anson b: 19 Apr 1807 in Oxford, New Haven, CT Jane b: 14 Nov 1809 in Oxford, New Haven, CT Samuel b: 29 Apr 1818 in Oxford, New Haven, CT But this one is more likely: Samuel RIGGS Birth: ABT. 1774 in Litchfield, Conn Death: 1848 Father: Jeremiah RIGGS b: 1 JUL 1750 in Litchfield, Conn Mother: Anna WOODRUFF Marriage 1 Catherine SHAW Marriage 2 Betsey RIGBY Children Merritt Woodruff RIGGS b: 7 NOV 1800 in Oxford, Conn William B RIGGS b: ABT. 1802 Samuel RIGGS b: ABT. 1804 Joseph RIGGS b: ABT. 1806 Isaac RIGGS b: ABT. 1808 Harvey RIGGS b: ABT. 1810 Marcia RIGGS b: ABT. 1812 Esther RIGGS b: ABT. 1814 Census records for 1830 have Samuels on these pages: Woodbridge, New Haven p. 229 Oxford, New Haven 262 Orange, New Haven 296 Middlebury, New Haven 271
