Children of Raleigh Riggsbee and Milly (unknown):
Nathaniel F Riggsbee b. 1830-10-00
Iley Riggsbee b. about 1832-00-00
Thomas Joseph Riggsbee b. 1834-04-00


Notes:

[R97]

This is a black family.

Most likely he was born around 1800.

Note: I do not have hard proof that Nathaniel and Iley were his sons, but proximity and ages make me think they must be. Also note that Nathaniel named a son Raleigh.
