Notes:

[R71.2]

married in Madison Co NC

Marriage records show Barney married Elizabeth Riddle.
Mitchell's death certificate gives his parents as Barney Rigsby + Elizabeth Shelton.
There was no Shelton family in Buncombe Co NC at the time. There was a Riddle family, but no Elizabeth. There was an Elizabeth Riddle and several Elizabeth Sheltons in Yancey Co, though. (Madison Co was formed from Buncombe and Yancey.)
For now I am guessing that Elizabeth was a Shelton who first married a Riddle.

There is also an 1862-08-10 marriage bond in Madison Co NC for Barney Rigsby and Polly Rice. That pretty much has to be this Barney.

[I am fairly certain that Margaret is really Mitchell, and Lena is Emiline.]
