1. Mary Elizabeth Woolsey

Children of Francis Rigsby and Mary Woolsey:
John Marion Rigsby b. 1870-08-09
Rosetta F Rigsby b. about 1874-00-00


Notes:

[R14.8.6]

He was a laborer.

I'm guessing he is the Marion Rigsby who married Mary Woolsey, but they must have divorced and she then moved to Boone Co AR.
The death certificate of Mary's son John says his father was Marion. The only Marion Rigsby of a proper age even vaguely in the area was this one.
R14.3.1 Peleg was associated with a Woolsey family in Washington Co AR. He had 3 sons. James and Thomas are accounted for, and Calbert apparently died in the Civil War.
R14.7.7 James Alfred's widow was in neighboring Marion Co AR on the 1880 census, but his sons were born after 1865.
