Part two of the tale of 2 or more Clisby RIGGS!! We have explored "my" Clisby RIGGS, so now I will move on to the other fellow born in the same time period and also in TN. When I become "king of the world", I will make a couple of new laws. One will be that every copy machine must function in the same way; and the other that a forename may be used only once within 3 generations of the same family! If in 1850 we could have gone northeast on what is today Interstate 75 we would have found Samuel RIGGS and Elizabeth CHANEY in the Jefferson Co. TN., 13th. Dist. census taken 28 Aug, 1850 with the following itemized children, all born in TN: Clisby, age 18 (This is not mine) Jane, age 16 William, age 12 Caswell, age 10 James, age 8 John, age 6 Henderson, age 2 Poor Elizabeth, she only had one daughter. Early on in my RIGGS research I thought that Samuel RIGGS and Elizabeth CHANEY were the parents of my Clisby, but I soon found the error of my ways and left this fellow swinging in the wind. I didn't find this Clisby in the 1860 census. But, I didn't search too much after I found Melvina RUBLES' husband Clisby!! I did however; find Samuel & Elizabeth's son in the 1870 Census of Witts Foundry P.O. Jefferson Co., TN. In dwelling 168/family 169 lives Clisby D. RIGGS, age either 34 or 37, (I can't decipher the writing) and shown as a physician. He and his wife Martha E. age 30 and the following children. Both parents and children were born in TN: Julia R. age 9 Samuel J, age 5 Allen M, age 4 Joseph H. age 1 At some point in my research I came across a Clisby RIGGS living in Marion Co., AL. I also have seen a slave Clisbie mentioned in the will of a southern planter. As I recall the will was administered about 1848/49. This person was not a RIGGS. I look forward to input from other researchers of these two families. Marketta in Madera. Researching: BARKSDALE, DRAKE, HARDIN, HOPKINS, HUGHES, LITTLETON, MOORE, RIGGS, RUBLE, STEPHENS, TOMPKINS.
