Biography
On 26 December 1815, Bazel Riggs, Mary his wife, Richard Parret[sic], Deborah his wife, Edmond Riggs and Elizabeth, his wife, Jacob Moler and Anna his wife, John Witten and Susanna his wife, William Robey and Isaac Robey sell Owen Robey, Jr “Chews Farm” for $300. The land was described as “one hundred and thirty two poles of land” being “on the east side of the waggon road, leading from William’s-Port to Isaac Houser’s Mill” and “with the outline of Owen Robey deceased, his part of Chews Farm.” The deed was signed by Bazel Riggs, Mary Riggs, Richard Parriott, Deborah Parriott, Edmund Riggs and John Witten. Elizabeth Riggs, Jacob Moler and Anna Moler signed with their marks. The deed was witnessed by Robert McCulloh, Isaac Houser, Jr. and William Yates. The deed was recorded on 26 June 1816.[1]
A few online sources including Findagrave give Edmund a second wife after his wife Elizabeth's death. The Caroline who is attributed as his second wife appears to be his daughter. Death record for Caroline shows her as Single and daughter of "E. & E. Riggs."[2]
Edmond was born in 1783. He passed away in 1876.
