I thought I had a connection with some Riggs now living in Delaware Co., OK, that may have come from Ark, or MO, but now I am not so sure. They have a Samuel Reed Riggs born in 1855. His daddy, as far as I can tell, was a Richard D. Riggs, not much on him at all. I suspect he was born about 1825/1830.Hope you find your Leroy. One of Samuel Reed Riggs' boys was Charles Riggs. He attended the funeral of my gr grandfather in 1949 in Grove, OK. But, if there is a connection, it is a round about one. Another lady sent me some census information on an Azariah Riggs, born abt 1804 of TN, the same region I think my Samuel born 17965 comes from. He had a son named Azariah. I am thinking this may prove important, may be another part of the family. In 1850 he was 46, a laborer and born in TN. Maybe my Samuel was born in TN too.

Riggs (also known as Lee) who was born in Alabama in 1821. He married Nancy Sims daughter of Hutson Sims in Alabama in 1842. At some point he moved to Arkansas with his children: Georiga (aka Georgiana), Nancy, Martha, Adaline, Lucy, Richard. Nancy his wife had died I think previous to 1860 he married two other times to a Lidia Holomon and a Elizabeth Johnson. In Arkansas Leroy lived in Saline County. ==== RIGGS Mailing List ==== *************************RIGGS ARCHIVE SEARCH************************** To search the archives: http://searches.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/listsearch.pl
