Notes |
- I noted, with great interest, in Sandi's post of the above subject, themarriage of Thomas Riggs to Leah Hunt, d/o Ambrose Hunt. Ambrose Hunt was my GG-Grandfather, who came from Halifax Co., VA to KY about 1795.Hesettled in that part of Green Co. that became Taylor Co. in 1848, and foundedthe numerous Hunt clan.
Some of you might be interested to know that Leah and Thomas Riggswentto Illinois sometime around 1840, stayed a short time, then went toOregon, traveling by covered wagon over the Oregon Trail. Theyenduredhardships, including the birth of a child along the way. Leah Hunt Riggs died27Sep 1857 in Crawfordsville, OR. Unfortunately, I only know the name ofoneof her children, that being Elizabeth. I would very much appreciate any more information.
