Anne: In the book "Kissin Cousins" by Lois M. Jones and Annette H. Jones, Published in 1981, they mention at least three seperate Riggs lines, One from what is now Surray Co. others from Albermarle and the third in Virginia since 1600. That date leaves out the migration of the Riggs line from N.J. In the book I have seen evidence of close intermarriage between two of the lines. I have tried to put these in a timeline format and found it next to impossible. I guess what I am trying to say is you need to put more information than just names in your query. I did not find any Mahala Riggs in this book. Altho I have seen it mention, but cannot remember where. That is the one name that isn't in my line. The Riggs from N.J. to Surray County, N.C. have a habit of naming there children the same names. I have seen a Jesse and a Samuel, b. 4-4-1760 and another Samuel b. 4-11-1760. The last one is my ggggrandfather, lived in what is now Hamblen Co. TN. At the time it was Hawkins C! o. He also lived in Jefferson Co. TN. where his father Edward lived until he died in 1820. These last statements are all proven by deeds and signitures on Revolutionary War pay vouchers, Samuel was too young to be paid directly, and Guardianship papers.

My ancestor Mahala Riggs was married in Surry Co. (most likely born there also.) Do you have any information on this Thomas Riggs' siblings? The time frame is right for a brother to have fathered my Mahala. This has been one of my brick walls, and I would dearly love to make a hole in it!
