Notes:

[R35.2.2]

married in Carroll Co GA
both buried in Shady Grove cemetery, Carroll Co GA

He was a farmer.

--
He served in the Civil War (Confederate), 13th AL Co K or E.
His gravestone says Co K, but Civil War records show W T Rigsby in Co K, and William L Rigsbey in Co E. (I guess he could be both.)
