Sue, Sorry, but our line of Riggs hit the Oregon Trail in 1852 and I have no knowledge of your line. They are probably connected back there some place. I wish I could help you. Marjorie

Marjorie, In looking at old email I don't think that we have 'met'. My Riggs came to Oregon (Jonathan and Mary Polly Riggs) and their son Garnett and wife Nancy Riggs (cousins who married in Iowa). They all came to Oregon together, or at least near the same time, and one of Garnett and Nancy's daughters was Mary Emma, my ggrandmother. I have information that she was born in Oregon, but not where. Do you have any information about her? Peggy
