Okay I have some info on the Diggs family. It gets very confusing. You were asking about a William Diggs who married a Nancy. I do not have any info there. What I can tell you is that there were quite a few Williams in this family and that is where it gets confusing. Okay so- We have a William Diggs who married Judith Haley. This Williams Diggs' parents are Marshall Diggs and Sarah. Marshall Diggs had three children that I know of- Solomon Diggs, Marshall Diggs, and William Diggs. I have no info on the son Solomon Diggs. For the son Marshall Diggs, I have him marrying Ann Snead, they had nine children which includes a William Diggs. And as for the other son, William Diggs and Judith Haley, I have six children for them. Among those children is a William Diggs, but no info on him either. As far as Eli Marshall Diggs goes, I have him with Betsy Ratliff. Eli Marshall Diggs' father is Riley Diggs, son of Marshall Diggs and Ann Snead. So as far as relation goes with William Diggs and Judith Haley, Eli Marshall Diggs would be their grandnephew. Eli Marshall Diggs was a Confederate Soldier. He was taken prisoner during the Civil War at Cape Hatteras. He lived to be over 90 years old. Betsy Ratliff Diggs had to hide family valuables from the Yankee Soldiers. So I hope this helps. Any corrections to my postings is greatly appreciated.
