Hi Sarah, Many thanks for the information. I will try and get the book " Riggs in Maryland." I am sure some of them (my line) from Accomack County, Virginia also had land in Somerset County, Maryland. My Abraham's (1674-1726) brother Isaac's (1672-1742) line seems to of vanished from Accomack County, Virginia. I also suspect that some of my Riggs also went to North Carolina, but have no proof yet. You asked "what is the Riggs Cousin's Club". I formed the club a few years ago to unite all the Riggs I make contact with on the internet that are of the same Riggs blood line, descendants of Abraham Riggs who with his brother Isaac were brought to Accomack County Virginia under the Head Rights Law in 1687, from somewhere in the United Kingdom. There are 27 members and we are always looking to welcome new found cousins to join us. Our family tree as of today contains just under 9,000 Riggs and their descendants, with over 1000 with the Riggs surname. Regards, David Harrison Riggs RiggsCousinsClub@aol.com DHRiggsLondon@aol.com
