Hi Annella- Thank you for your reply. I have checked with Bobby Carwile on several of my RIGGS relatives and he has been a great help. Your Clisby Evans Riggs must be the one b in 1798, is that correct? The John Washington RIGGS I have been searching for was b 1795 and is a brother to your Clisby Evans. I ran across a post just recently whereas another John Washington RIGGS is mentioned and they claim that this John was b in 1840 There are so many John's and Clisby's that it almost makes your head swim. The person that mentions the John Washington Riggs b 1840 is a brand new researcher and if there is anything I can do to help them I would really be happy to do that. It sounds like we have some relatives in common here. Hope to talk to you again. Thank's again.

He is 52 y/o. Do you think there is any chance he and your John W. could be brothers ? Mine is the son of Jesse Riggs and the only way I could prove this was by Deed book J from Lincoln Co., TN. Have you checked with Bobbi Carwile ?--he has a lot of information on this family.
