I find a David, Benson, Samuel and Nathan Riggs in Mispillion Hundred, Kent Co., DE in 1810-1820 period. David appears to be the elder (and maybe the father ?). They are near Levin, John and William Rickards. Levin Rickard(s)/Rickords etc. married a Rebecca Riggs and had daughter Amelia who married a Fleming. Our Benjamin S. Rickords was said orphaned and to have had an only sister Emily (?Amelia). Information was found for an Amelia Rickards whose parents were Levin Rickards and Rebecca Riggs of Kent Co., DE. We think this is our Benjamin's sister. There are three Rickards and the Riggs noted above in the area. It looks like William, Levin and John Rickards were there in 1810 and by 1820 only William (Levin and John's father ?) remains and has with him the three children of the 1810 census the ages of Levin's two children and John's one child) indicating Levin and John may have died leaving the children with their father/uncle. 1810 DE Kent Co. Census shows for Levin Rickards one male b: 1800 - 1810 (possibly Benjamin S. ? b: 1807 abt.) one male b: 1765 - 1784 Levin Rickards one female b: 1800 - 1810 (possibly Amelia (Emily) b: 1808.08.20 @ Kent Co. m: Rev. William J. Fleming) one female b: 1765 - 1784 (spouse: Riggs, Rebecca) one servant Amelia Rickards went to OH, then IN and Benjamin S. Rickords went to OH by 1830, then IL. Does anyone have anything on these Riggs and/or Rickards ? Thank you for your time and consideration, Wayne and Debbie
