Notes:

[R53]

He is probably a son of James, John, Frederick, or Archibald.
He lived near Archibald, so that would be my guess.

Probably he is a brother of John.

Did he have a son John c1835? If so, his son Wesley was not the John W of TN.
Did he have a daughter Lively Ann c1822 who married 1841-01-14 David Holding? His 1830 census entry doesn't have a daughter the right age, but his 1840 does.

married in Wake Co NC

Probably all his children were born in Wake Co NC. I'm not sure if they spelled their name Rigsby or Riggsbee.
