My great grand father was John Stanford Riggs. He married Sara Belora Taylor. My understanding is that he came to California from Texas with his two brothers. One was killed by Indians on the way out and the other went to northern California. I believe Sacremento area. He went to Camarillo. He was born in Kentucky and after the Civil War his family went to Texas and got a land grant. This may be a link. Do you have any information about the family?
