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.
