Russell Rigsby Genealogy
Record modified: 2008-06-16
Born: about 1778-00-00
Died: (unknown)
Notes:
[R25]
married in Guilford Co NC 1816-11-12 Mary Sillivan [Sullivan?]
He was born between 1776 and 1780.
He died between 1830 and 1840 in Union Co IN.
He probably is a brother of Oldham. They were living in Guilford Co NC in 1820, and in Union Co IN in 1830. [Oldham died before 1830.]
They probably are sons of Travis or Luke. They, Travis, and Travis' son John were the only Rigsbys in Guilford Co NC in 1820. In 1810, though, Oldham and Russell are in Chatham Co NC near Luke and his son John.
Travis' census entries don't contain sons who match Russell and Oldham. Luke does, but only if
Elizabeth is his second wife.
His children may have included: Lucinda 1818 who married 1839-03-26 Eliab Bratten, Eunice who married 1839-06-12 Alexander Smith
