Notes:

[R67.1]

He probably was born in Wake Co NC.
I'm not sure about his death information. The death certificate for William M with these dates says his parents were Edward Rigsbee + Neccie? Dixon. I don't have a matching Edward, but since his first son was Joseph Edward, maybe his father was as well.
