RIGGS
Seeking information on the RIGGS family of East Tennessee. I am particularly interested in any information on Samuel RIGGS[1760--died between 1845 and 1850]and Jesse RIGGS who is listed in the 1850 Census of Hawkins Co, TN at age 55 with a William RIGGS, age 26; Sarah RIGGS, age 38; and an Adeline RIGGS, age 12. There was also a John RIGGS who was a Justice of the Peace in Hawkins Co, TN in 1845 who we feel is son of Samuel RIGGS. According to a WPA Record (#465-44-3-115) in July 1938: RIGGS Graveyard: Located on the farm of Hardee DOUGHERTY, half a mile north of Russellville on the Three Springs Road. It is supposed that Jesse RIGGS is buried here beside his wife. Samuel RIGGS, the father of Jesse is buried in an unmarked grave on an adjacent farm...... The two gravestones in the RIGGS Cemetery are: Mary RIGGS, Consort of Jesse RIGGS, Born 1797, Died Sept. 1845 and Mary TAYLOR, Daughter of Jesse and Mary RIGGS, Born 1821, Died 1845.
