Notes:

[R51]

married in Orange Co NC

He probably died in 1860, after the census.

He may have been a son of Jesse, but on the census Jesse is shown with only daughters.
He was a brother of Luke.
A Partin researcher says they were children of James Rigsby + Elizabeth Partin.

Did he have another daughter?

1850 Chatham Co NC p485a
Isaiah Riggsbee 72 NC
Nancy 72 NC
Sarrah 42 NC
Lucien 18 NC

1840 Chatham Co NC p196

[Lucien 8, Thomas 20, Isaiah 62, Martha 10 , Sarah 32, Nancy 62]

[I'm pretty sure Lucien and Martha are children of Sarah. Nancy would have been over 50 when they were born, so can't be their mother. All Isaiah's sons are otherwise accounted for.]

Isaiah Rigsby 1 M <10, 1 M 16-18, 1 M 16-26, 1 M 45+, 1 F <10, 1 F 10-16, 1 F 26-45
[George 8, Mitchum 18, Isaiah 42, Mary 5, Sarah 12, Nancy 42]
