    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Riggs, Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/HSDBAIB/1350 Message Board Post: I am working on transcribing a crt case and a Captain Zedrig Riggs was mentioned, as being in charge of a company. just east of the rocky mountains. The info is sketchy and the copies are very hard to read. I was wondering if this would be a wagon train move to Oregon back then? Would anyone have any other info on this man for I do find it very interesting in who was traveling with whom back then. I came across Capt. Biggs when I was reading about a Jonathan Keeney who went to court in Oregon back in 1853 over some cattle that Capt. Biggs was in charge of and later sold in a public auction. The Court Case was the first recorded case in Lane Co. Eugene City, Oregon in Sept to October of 1853. Case title is "Action of Trover" Jonathan Keeney was the plaintiff and William Masterson & 22 others were the defendants. In the papers, it claimed by October of 1853 this Biggs man was deceased. Any input would surely be appreciated, maybe find some leads?
