Hi Polly
Well, I should be related to your family on the Rigsby
side, but I don't yet know exactly how. Your Rigsbys go
back to a Thomas who was born about 1760, first shows up in
Mecklenburg Co NC, and moves to Warren Co TN around 1800.
My Rigsbys go back to a James who was born about 1755,
first shows up in Wake Co NC where he dies before 1800, and
whose widow and family moved to Warren Co KY about 1812.
Descendants of your Thomas frequently live near descendants
of my James, so I think they must be closely related. My
guess is that they are first or second cousins.
I think all the Rigsbys in the US eventually go back to a
single family in England, and my long-term goal is to show
this is true. So far DNA confirms this theory.
I gave the wrong link for William Tilden Rigsby in my
last message. He is actually at:
