Helen: The Jesse Riggs that Asa was on the Deed with was one of two people. Edward Riggs brother or the son of John Riggs from Maryland and a Minister. The Jesse Riggs (Edwards Brother) moved on to Lincoln Co. TN and died their in the 1820's. I haven't got that far back in tracking the Riggs, I am still trying to find out what happened to Samuel Leonidus Riggs of McMinn Co. TN. Samuel was the brother of my ggrandfather and a greatgrandson of Edward Riggs. Jim H.

Our Phoebe was born ca 1769 in Tn, before it was a state. Her father was said to be Dr Asa Riggs, since I can't find an Asa anywhere , he must have been known as something else then . Phoebe's husband was Frazier Brindley, they lived in Jeff Co Tn in 1795, Frazier was on a deed with Jesse Riggs in Jeff and HawkinsCo's. They went ot Franklin Co Ga about 1800. There was a Bethuil Riggs lived nearby, Good Luck!
