ch (appear as Rigg and Riggs) inc:
-Elizabeth 1826–1859 m: Benjamin Drown

-John Anthony 1832– m: Mrs. Susan Emily Day Scott, named dau Rizpah, in Callaway 1860-70, Audrain Co MO. 1880.

-Sarah Francis 1837–1906/OK
-Charles B 1840– (living with brother Joseph W. 1860, Audrain Co MO), m: Martha Ivins 1861 Callaway Co.

m2: Mrs. Ann Swon-Craig-Bradley (1822–1907), Dec 29 1858, Calloway MO. Ann had four children from prior marriages to Samuel Craig in 1841 and to Thomas Bradley in 1852, all in Calloway MO.

Marriage between Greenville and Ann was very short, as he is not with her in 1860: Ann Riggs/35/KY with CRAIG John/18, Sarah J/12 and Pierce/5 (Ann's children from earlier marriage), living not far from Greenville's son's, John Anthony and Charles B. RIGGS). By 1870 Ann had taken back her "Bradley" surname.

1850 Carter KY: RIGGS Charles B/67/MD, Greenville/47/NC and siblings, all born in VA, Samuel, Charles, Anthony, Adaline, Sarah, Frances and Malinda. Also in household is PLUM John/23.
(Note, none of Greenville's children, ages 10 throuogh 24, are with him.)

Riggs, Greenville - Bradly, Mrs Ann - Jan 29 1858 (from Callaway Co. marriage records).

Greenville not found 1860, 1870. His children are in Audrain, Callaway and Carroll Co. MO. during those years.

1880 Jack TX: RIGGS Greenville/78/1802/NC-MD-NC/wd/boarder in home of John and Mariah SMITH.

Names of Greenville's wives and children are as consistently shown in family trees, and some are annotated in census compilations. No family members are with or near him in 1850 census, have been unable to find documentation of the relationships to him, nor have I located him in 1860, 1870 census records. The 1860 Missouri RIGGS family summary shows John Anthony, Joseph W. and Charles B. to be sons of Greenville RIGGS and Rizpah WARD.

Researching: Wife Ann Riggs found in Liberty Twp., Callaway Co 1860, it would appear this slave schedule in her name may have been for Greenville?
