1880 census Freestone Co TX p609d
W L Rigsby 49 GA/GA/GA
wife L A 32 KY/KY/KY
son L C 13 TX
dau L B 8 TX
[Since he had no children in 1870, I'm assuming L C must be his wife's son by a previous marriage.]
[L C was probably Lloyd C who died 1916-09-24 Dallas Co TX. I can't find Lloyd on the 1870 census.]
1870 census Freestone Co TX p87
W Rigsby 38 AL
Salley 25 AL
[This has to be him, with his birth place wrong. The only Rigsby born about 1832 in AL was Hillman, who is in Elmore Co AL in 1870. There were three "W" Rigsbys born about 1832 in GA, and the other two are accounted for. Also note that the father of this William died in TX.]
