Hi, Darnel:
Sorry, I didn't see your answer to my query regarding the RIGGS of Md.I have no idea who the father of my Elisha RIGGS was, but did hear that those RIGGS associated with Hyattstown, Md. had something to do with the founding of the HYATTHotel business.Ann Nancy RIGGS and Jesse HYATT were my 4th great grandparents.RIGGS are thick with the HYATTs in that area.Hyattsville, Md. is also named for one of my HYATTs, Christopher, I think.Don't know much about these people.They are my paternal great grandmother's ancestors.
Don't know if MY RIGGS had connections with Pa or not.Some of my HYATTs did.They were so clanny, I can well imagine they did.
Thanks for your response.
