A biography of the John Rigsby who lived in Ouachita Par LA says he was a native of Wilson Co PA.
However, there wasn't a Wilson Co in PA. There was one in TN, adjacent to Smith Co where this John
was born.

I'm pretty sure he served in the Civil War (Union), 80th IL infantry Co E.
He enlisted 1862-08-05, if I have the right John W.
