Texas with his mother Isadora and step-father Josiah Riggs. His sister Almeda Cruse married W. S. Utzman 15 Nov. 1877 in Lamar Co. Joseph and Almeda possibly had a younger sister with initial M.E. Their step siblings were William Taylor Riggs (who also married an Utzman) James Oliver Riggs and Robert B. Riggs. Joseph Cruse was my great-grandfather. His name was sometimes misspelled Crews on census. I would appreciate any information on any of the above. Thanks, Linda
