Barnard Rigsby Genealogy
Record modified: 2012-02-27
Born: about 1838-00-00 North Carolina USA
Died: (unknown)
Marriages:
1. 1856-09-03 Elizabeth Shelton
Children of Barnard Rigsby and Elizabeth Shelton:
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.
