Notes:

[R20.1.4]

married in Orange Co NC

buried in Rigsbee family cemetery, Duke University campus, Durham Co NC

He was a farmer.

--
I am guessing that he was the father of Demaris. She married in Orange Co in 1848. Of the Rigsbys who were in Orange Co in 1840 and 1850, only Jesse has an unidentified daughter of the proper age.
