Notes:
[R28.1.4]
Is this right? I'm pretty sure these census entries are all him. There were very few Aaron Rigsbys, and he is the only one close in age to these entries.
I'm troubled by the 1880 entry, though. Why does it say he was born in TN? And his son Thomas should be 25. Or did the first Thomas die between 1860 and 1865, and they re-use the name?
And where is he in 1870? That census entry might answer some questions.
And did he really have children in his 60s, or are the ones on the 1900 census from a previous marriage of Laura?
