[R14]
He probably died between 1830 and 1840 in Warren Co TN.
I don't know who his wife was.
Could he be the Thomas Rigsby who married in Frederick Co VA 1787-05-29 Margaret Williams? Note
that his first child was born about 1788.
His children may have included: Jane who married in Washington Co TN 1807-11-25 John Little/Tittle

One entry at GenCircles gives his middle name as Acey, but that is the only time I've seen a middle name for him.
Note that his son John named a son Acey.
