Marriages:
1. Rebecca Marks Caudle
Children of Markham Riggsbee and Rebecca Caudle:
Notes:
[R06.2.6]
I read somewhere that he also had an illegitimate daughter Emily Cornelia Caudle 1830 Chatham Co NC who married 1857-01-14 Fletcher B Cole.
Note: I am guessing he was the father of Anzelet who married Alvin Bennett. They are next to him on the 1850 census. He has a daughter the proper age on the 1840 census, but not the 1830. His brother Ezekiel has a daughter the right age on the 1830, but not the 1840.
He was a farmer.
