Jewel, No, I don't recognize those names. But my ancestor Samuel Riggs born in 1796, had two sons who appear to have lived at least into their thirties, and must have left descendants. There is a William who was born in 1829 and John, born in 1827. MO probably. John married Barriba Allen who was born in 1833. I don't know who William married. One son died in the Civil War in 1862, maybe more than one, one died in 1861 but we're not told how. I am trusting that William lived as we have no death date for him. The others are girls, except for Francis Edney, but he died at 5 or 6 years of age. One daughter married and went into KS. Maybe the others did too, or might have moved on into OK under their married names.

My grandfather was John William Riggs born in Dyer County in 1874,in TN. My father was Billie Riggs b 1914. Arkansas. I don't know if you know of any of these. John Wm. married Beulah and they had a number of children in Arkansas. One was Kathleen Thurmond. One was Alfred who lived in Illinois. If any of these names are familiar I will search my papers for more information.
