Ignatius Riggs was listed in Union Co., KY on the 1840 census (019) You might want to research the Union Co., KY census to find Phoebe's parent names. He and Phoebe were listed on the 1850 Bond Co., ILL census, page 393. Elizabeth Harper listed as age 13 on the Riggs family household. Phoebe Bolen Harper was the second wife of Ignatius according to the Kentucky Bicentennial History on Roots Web under Peter(s)/Haydon/Combs/Davidson Ancestors. I have not researched Phoebe Bolen Harper's background at this time to know if Elizabeth is Phoebe's sister or related in some other way. Phoebe would have been 18 years older than Elizabeth according to the 1850 Bond, ILL census records. I have court documents that Phoebe and Ignatius divorced in July 1873 when they were in Chillocothe, MO. Missouri.
