Notes:

[R06.7]

I have not been able to find his first wife's name. There is a good chance she was a daughter of
James Kirby. The 1842 estate of James Kirby mentions heir James Riggsbee and wife. This James was
the only one in Chatham Co in 1840.

married Martha in Sumner Co TN

He moved to Sumner Co TN in 1842.

Children may have included: Jeff c1827, Francis c1836, George
Did he have a daughter Martha c1819 who married in Robertson Co TN 1848 Sidney Campbell c1825?
