Notes:

[R35.1]

I suspect I have his children wrong after Louiza.

married Rebecca in Walton Co GA

--
He served in the War of 1812, 2nd regiment VA militia.
He also was a fifer in the Civil War (Confederate), Co F 5th regiment GA Volunteer Army.

--
From the Margie Boyd book:

second marriage in Calhoun Co GA 1869-05-02 Nancy Ann Garrett 1833-02-19.

He appears on tax lists in Walton Co GA in 1826 and 1834.

On 1873-12-13 he applied for a pension based on his service in the War of 1812.

--
I think this is him, but it doesn't make sense:

Court, Probate, and Land Records

AL Mardisville [Talladega Co] 1844-08-01 Samuel Rigsby 40 acres

His brother Thomas also bought 40 acres there, and there doesn't seem to be another Samuel.
However, this Samuel seems to have always been in GA.
