This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/HSDBAIB/1363 Message Board Post: I am looking for the parents and earlier ancesters of Jedediah Riggs (c.1775-1868) who was born in Connecticut and was one of the organizers of Ada township in Michigan. He was married to Philinda Crary and Eunice Barnum. I would also be interested in knowing if and how Eunice Barnam is related to P.T. Barnum. Family lore connects descendents of Jedediah Riggs to business dealings with P.T. Barnum.
