Notes:

[R13.4.1.3]

married in Goochland Co VA

There is also an 1854-12-12 Goochland Co VA marriage record for Robert H Rigsby 1834 + Barbara Ann Walker 1831. Robert is shown as son of William C Rigsby. This was the only Robert in Goochland Co, but he clearly married Elizabeth. Robert H + Barbara appear on the 1860 census in Hanover Co VA, but that is the only time I see them.

He served in the Civil War (Confederate), 44th VA infantry Co B.
He enlisted 1861-06-03.
