Hi Helen: If these are your ancesters then we are cousins. Clisby Riggs and my ggggrandfather Samuel Riggs were brothers. Their parents are Edward Riggs and Jane Buckley. The Jesse Riggs you speak off is Edwards brother who ended up in Middle TN. There are several Deeds from Edward to Clisbe (This is the spelling on the Deeds) where Edward states Clisbe is his son. According to my records Clisby and Jane Evans Riggs had 9 Children. Nancy, Ellis, Mary, Edward, Zadok, Phebe, Samuel Moses, Jesse Wley, Harvey. If my memory serves me right Dr. Asa Riggs is Zadok Riggs son. I may be wrong, I should look before commenting. Jim H.
