He was the son of Thomas Ringgold and Mary Galloway Ringgold. On April 15, 1799 as Tench Ringold, he married Mary Christan (1777-1813) at Montgomery County, Maryland. On October 31, 1815 as Tench Ringold, he married Mary A. Lee (1786-1826) at Loudoun County, Virginia. Her place of burial is currently unknown.

Contributor 48546651 states that his date of birth on the stone is incorrect: This is proven by his father's last will and testament, to which he attached a codicil that he wrote in August 1776. In the codicil, Thomas leaves a legacy to his newborn son Tench. It is therefore proven that he was born prior to 1777, presumably on the same date, just one year prior in 1776.
