Thank you for accepting me on your trusted list. Eliza's first husband was a Riggans. (spelling varies) His name was either George or John. I can't seem to find anything solid on him. I can't figure out where he disappeared to, possibly Civil war. I can add Eliza's children for you if we can merge that part of my tree. I'm still figuring this site out. lol
