Born: 1745-01-15 Fauquier Co, Virginia USA
Died: (unknown) Kentucky USA
Marriages:
1. (unknown) (unknown)
Children of Drury Rigsby and (unknown) (unknown):
Notes:
[R17]
He is supposed to have died 1834 in Lawrence Co KY, but he is not there on the 1830 census.
I don't know his wife's name. I found a tree at Ancestry.com that gave her name as Acy Price, but no
other information was given for her. The tree had several errors downward from Drury, so I have my
doubts about Acy's name.
Another researcher sends that his wife may have been Ary Privett.
Surely he had other children. One of them may have been David.
Was another Lewis?
Note that his son Thomas married in Orange Co NC and then moved to Wilkes Co NC.
Lewis seems to have married in Chatham Co NC (next to Orange Co) and moved to Wilkes Co NC.
Also note that Thomas had a son Lewis, and Lewis had a son Thomas.
He may be a brother of Jesse, Travis, or William.

There was an Edward Rigsby in Prince William Co VA in the early 1700s. PW Co is adjacent to Fauquier
Co, where Drury was born. Are they related?

Apparently he was never on a surviving census. The census records for VA for 1790 and 1800 were
destroyed in the War of 1812. He probably appeared on them. It would be very informative to know
where exactly he lived.
