Notes:

[R17.1.2]

I may be wrong about his death information.
I am guessing he is the T R Rigsby died 1871 and buried in the Rigsby cemetery "on the Jim Lyon farm".
There are only three Rigsbys in Johnson Co or Lawrence Co on the 1870 census whose name starts with
T: Travis, Thomas, and Thyrza. The other two are on the 1880 census, and Travis died before 1880.
Also in this cemetery are B Rigsby died 1865, and S R Rigsby died 1861. S R could be his daughter Celia, who died 1861-04-25. His wife Ary died after 1870 so can't be the B.

--
Some sites give his wife as Ary Deboard c1816 NC d/o Joseph Deboard + Martha Prince.
That birth date doesn't match her census records.
However, note that his brother Lewis married a daughter of Joseph + Martha.
