Notes:

[R14.7]

He probably died between 1870 and 1880 in Cannon Co TN.

I am guessing that John K was his son.

I am not sure Jane was his daughter, but she pretty much has to be.
She was married in Cannon Co in 1850. There were only two Rigsby families in Cannon Co: this Almon and his brother John.
On the 1850 census she is shown as 22 years old. On the 1840 census John has one daughter 10 - 15 (Mahala), and Almon has one daughter 10 - 15 I haven't identified. That daughter must be Jane.

He was a farmer.
