Notes:

[R01.4]

birth date plus or minus 5 years, but probably close
married in Orange Co NC

--
He has to be the father of Lively Ann. Her census entries are inconsistent, but generally show her born about 1822. There was only one Rigsby family in Wake Co NC on the 1830 and 1840 census with a daughter that age, this John.
Since Frederick's will names Lively Ann as his granddaughter, John must be Frederick's son.

--
His children probably included one of these three: Joseph c1821, Henry c1823, William c1821
They may also include: Susan c1830 who married 1849-09-08 John W Stanley
