I am a descendent of Sarah Richmond daughter of John Richmond. Sarah married William Riggs. William Riggs appears as an assignee of John Richmond in Washington County, VA dated June 5, 1795. I have found the Riggs family living in Mecklenburg County NC in 1766 near the Richmond family and for this reason believe there may be a connection. I have also found the Riggs family in Caswell County when the Richmond family is there. I still have a lot of sorting out to do. I would be interested in sharing more information with you about these two families.
