William Rigsby Genealogy
Record modified: 2012-02-17
Born: about 1808-00-00 North Carolina USA
Died: (unknown)
Marriages:
1. Elizabeth Holt
Children of William Rigsby and Elizabeth Holt:
Notes:
[R49]
He might be a son of William of Surry Co NC, or Lewis of Wilkes Co NC.
Conceivably he could be the older son of the unmarried Elizabeth in Ashe Co NC, but he is a little too old.
Another possibility is that he is a brother of John E who also migrated from NC to IN. John was a son of an unmarried Leeann Rigsby. If this William is also from Leeann, his DNA won't match the rest of the Rigsbys. If you are a male-to-male descendant of this William, please contact me at the link below.
He was a farmer.
