Children of Henry Rigsby and Judy Brooks:
Notes:
[R05.2.2]
Did he have a son Henry 1831 who married 1854-11-09 Sarah Cole? (No)
Could his son J W be Jacob Rigsby who attended Liberty Baptist church with these Rigsbys?
Did his son J W die in Newton Co MO in 1906?
I am guessing that his son W W was the William Rigsby who married Mary A (unknown) and lived in Warren Co KY. Note that Henry lived in Warren Co for a while.
This may be wrong, because there is a William J Rigsby in Howell Co MO in 1880 who very closely matches Henry's oldest son J W.

also married in Warren Co KY 1874-04-24 Margaret Cook; she must have died immediately afterwards
also married in Allen Co KY 1874-10-29 Martha A Corder
