I am looking for Rebecca Riggs b. ca 1798 (my ggg grandmother. She married
Jacob Inabnett ca. 1830. They were probably married in Charleston, SC. They
had a son John Andrew Jackson Inabnett born Feb 24. 1834 in Charleston, SC.
They immigrated to Bossier Parish, Louisiana in about 1848. They may have
stayed in Artesia, Lowdnes Co., Mississippi for a while before arriving in
Bossier Parish, LA.
Rebecca Riggs is believed to have had three sisters: Susan Riggs, Jane Riggs
and Mary Ann Riggs. They married: Rev. David Lawrence, J. N. West and Platt.
All these lived in Bossier Parish, LA.
There are several Riggs in S.C. between 1790 and 1850. John Riggs and
William Riggs had land adjoining John Inabnit (Jacob's father) according to a
1822 survey.
It is possible that Rebecca could be one of these Riggs' daughters.
I have several land transactions naming Rebecca Riggs from Bossier Parish, LA
and one slave sale to her.
It is believed that she died in 1862 and is buried at the Fillmore Cemetery
in Haughton, LA.
Does anyone recognize this person/family?
Thanks, Vicki Brehm
