Died: about 1838-00-00
Marriages:
1. Elizabeth Ann Edwards
Children of Luke Rigsby and Elizabeth Edwards:
Notes:
[R06]
He was born between 1760 and 1765.
He probably died in Chatham Co NC between 1830 and 1840.
His children may have included: Oldham, Russell, Jacob, Lewis,
Leann mother of John E, Elizabeth probable mother of Henry W
Many genealogy sites say he was s/o James Rigsby + Wilmot Oldham, but that must be wrong.
James was born about 1700, and Wilmot in 1707. They could not have had a child in her 60s.
More likely Luke was a grandson of James + Wilmot.
He may be a son of Drury or Jesse.
A message on the Ancestry.com board for Riggsbee says his parents were James Rigsby + Elizabeth Partin. It also says Luke had a sister Mary 1760 who married John Pendergrass. Note that Isaiah, who was a brother of Luke, married Nancy Pendergrass.
