For Thad Greer, Do you have any Samuels in your Riggs line? We have a Samuel Riggs born 1796, not sure where, maybe TN, KY, or NJ. He married Sabrina Splawn, and I believe she was born in TN or MO.

When we visited the graveside, the headstone said Thomas Augusta RIGGS. We have never seen anything with his middle name as Augustus. I am curious about your John Augustus. Is this Augustus a family name carried down to other generations? Of does it come another Augustus. Thomas is a popular name in our RIGGS family.
