Notes:
[R11]
He may have been born earlier than 1767.
I am guessing that this is the William who moved to GA before 1820.
Census records for GA in 1800 are missing. I don't know why he doesn't show up in 1810.
He may be related to Allen Rigsby.

It appears William's father was a Hugh Rigby who was excused from paying taxes in 1765 in Craven Co. NC "on account of the loss of his eye sight and infirimities and proverty".
