Hello, I'm new to this list but have been working on untying Zadok Riggs' knots for some time, now. There seems to be mixed information relating to what appears to me as (at least) 2 Zadok Riggs fellows that have my research in knots. I'm looking at the family of Zadok Riggs (b. 1/4/1754 in Morris Co., NJ, d. 11/23/1846 in Boone Co., MO, s/o Samuel Riggs & Elizabeth Tompkins/Thompkins) who married Sarah Elizabeth Scott (b. 8/24/1755 in VA, d. 8/25/1846 in Boone Co., MO, m. ?? Surry Co., NC; d/o James Scott & Keziah Terry) who had the following known children: Hanna(h); Scott Adams; Mary/Polly; Samuel; Zadok; James; Silas; and an unnamed dau. My line of research connects in with 2nd son, Samuel's family. What seems to be confusing is that many show another Zadok as a s/o David Riggs & Miriam Wright who married Nancy Fleming (her ancestry is unknown to me at this time) and had the following known children: Daniel, Joel, Elizabeth, Martha. This family seemed to be located in Stokes Co., NC, then Williamson Co., TN and other TN counties, w/descendants ending up in AL, TX, and other southern locations. The following website seems to substantiate this last paragraph: http://cssvirginia.org/tyson/mabry/wsmjrnl.txt Since these are obviously different men with different parents/wives/children/homesteads, then why are so many showing Zadok, s/o Samuel & Sarah, married to both Sarah Scott AND Nancy Fleming? Can anyone on this list help me find the sources/documentation elements for my theory? I would like to untangle my GEDCOM data as soon as possible. Thanks in advance.
