1. 1824-04-24 Mary Sanders
Children of Jonathan Rigsby and Mary Sanders:
Notes:
[R28.1]
Warning: I am not at all sure he was a son of William. Some genealogy sites say he was a son of Lewis, but I don't see how that could be.
I think the idea that Lewis is Jonathan's father comes from the fact that Lewis signed the marriage bond for Jonathan Rigsby + Polly Sanders. William died between 1820 and 1830. Apparently he died before Jonathan married in 1824, and Lewis signed as Jonathan's relative. It's pretty much certain that Lewis was son of Drury. Was William a brother of Drury, making Lewis an uncle of Jonathan?
married in Wilkes Co NC
