a very well-known man in Rockcastle County Kentucky during his lifetime. He was
born and grew up on his parent's farm which was located in the Brindle Ridge section
of the county. He was the son of Richard "Dick" Rigsby and Virginia Jane Murray
Lewis. Virginia Jane Murray Lewis was the daughter of William & Louisa Murray.
Virginia Jane Murray Lewis

Brindle Ridge: The Rigsby Connection 1903
Submitted by without prejudice Kate Cain Rigbsy Bynum
Purr Andrew Rigsby, along with his first cousin William Robert Rigsby nicknamed �Jack�, son of
Robert Thomas Rigbsy and Elizabeth Catherine �Cat� Murray, had become involved in an
argument with three men while visiting Winstead�s Camp in Mount Vernon, Kentucky (see
photo in Photos section). The three men left before Purr and Jack, so they could lie in ambush along
the road. When they come by, Greeley Lear fired his gun and instantly killed Jack. Purr jumped
from his horse to the ground so he could return the deadly gunfire. Purr killed one man. The others
ran down the road with Purr chasing them. Soon, Armp Roland fell dead, a twenty-one year old
victim to Purr�s smoking gun. Soon, a trail followed. My great grandfather Watt Rigbsy said his
mother and father (Purr and Lucy Rigbsy) hitched up the horses and wagon to go to the trial each
day for several weeks.
Purr never served a jail sentence, for he was judged innocent on self-defense.
Greeley Lear. On the other hand, served nearly seven years for murdering William Robert �Jack�
Rigsby . He swore that he would kill Purr when he got out of jail. (Greeley Lear & Purr Rigbsy
was both around thirty years old.)
At this time, Mrs. Maggie Lear�s home was the community post office and barber shop. As
Greeley was released from jail, he spread word that he still had a grudge against Purr to settle.
Days later, Purr went to the post office, got his mail, and chatted with the postmaster. He�d been
seen by Greeley, who was getting his hair cut. It is said that he jumped up from the barbers chair
and grabbed his gun, and said, �I�m going to kill Purr Rigsby.� Running into the post office part of
the building where Purr was talking, Greeley yelled �Purr, turn around�! When he did, Greeley
shot Purr in the chest. Purr then ripped open his coat, pulled out a gun he�d hidden there, and shot
Greeley in the bowels. Greeley was taken home by some friends as Purr rode home on his horse
and went to bed.
With little advancement in medicine in the rural areas, surgery could not be preformed. The local
doctor merely shook his head and said both men would die. Some reason�s given to support this
was the hot, dry weather which usually caused wounds to become rotten. The old doc was half
right; Greeley Lear did die and was buried near Armp Roland. Purr, however, survived and
carried Greeley�s bullet in one of his lungs until he died, nearing his ninety-ninth birthday.
Purr Rigsby is buried at the Brodhead Christian Church Cemetery in Brodhead, Kentucky
Paris Greeley Lear is buried at John Moss Cemetery in Hiatt area of Brindle Ridge, Kentucky
Written By: a Great Great Grandson of Purr Rigbsy
Kate Cain-Rigbsy-Bynum�s note: Article appeared in the Mt Vernon Signal Ky., newspaper
October 8, 1897. Man being charged with William Robert �Jack� Rigsby's murder was Greeley
Lear.Armp Rowland was a cousin to Greeley Lear, and they were both raised by their
grandmother. Greeley Lear�s tombstone says he died March 17, 1903. This might have been a
"family" type feud since so many Lear's married with Rigsby's. There is rumor now that the
argument might have started over a 'dog."

HISTORY OF MACOUPIN COUNTY, ILLINOIS
1911
Chicago: S.J. Clarke Publishing Company
Page 154
JAMES T. RIGSBEY. There is no record which the American citizen holds in higher honor
than that of the man whose strength of character, determination of purpose and
indefatigable energy have enabled him to work his way upward from a humble position to
one of affluence and who through his business career has followed a straightforward,
honorable course, that neither seeks nor requires disguise. Such has been the history
of James T. Rigsbey who from a poor boy has worked his way up in the business world
until he is one of the most substantial and affluent men of Macoupin county.
He was born on the 23d of April, 1863, in Garrett county, Kentucky, a son of William
and Margaret (Kennedy) Rigsbey. The father was born in the same county in 1843, and
his parents were also natives of the Blue Grass state, both passing away, however,
prior to the birth of their grandson. The mother, who in her maidenhood was Margaret
Kennedy, was born in 1845, a daughter of David and Margaret (Faulkner) Kennedy, also
natives of Garrett county, Kentucky, where they died when about ninety years of age.
The Kennedy and Faulkner families have long been residents of that county, where
representatives of the name have been very prominent both socially and politically.
The family of William and Margaret (Kennedy) Rigsbey consisted of eleven children, as
follows: Mary, the widow of Frederick Shaw, of Garrett county; Eliza, the widow of B.
Conn, also of that county; Margaret, who married Benjamin Lunsford, of Garrett county;
John William, of Macoupin county, Illinois; Parmelia, the widow of David Ross, of
Garrett county, Kentucky; Harriet, who married James J. Hawley, of Garrett county;
David, also of that county; Lucy, the wife of James Anderson, of the state of Texas;
James T., of this review; and Robert H. and Andrew, both of this county.
In the public schools of his native state James T. Rigsbey acquired his education and
his father's farm in Kentucky was the training ground upon which he received his
preparation for life's practical duties. He was but seventeen years of age at the time
of his marriage, after which he came to Illinois, locating at Chesterfield, Macoupin
county. He was but a lad in years and was in very straitened circumstances, but he
possessed a determined spirit and resolute will and at once set about earning a
livelihood. He secured employment as a farm hand, working by the month, and was thus
engaged for about a year. His ambition, however, urged him onward toward the goal of
independence, and he took up his residence upon a farm of eighty acres, which he
operated as a renter for ten years. This period was fraught with unceasing toil and a
perseverance that never faltered, and at its expiration he had saved sufficient money
with which to purchase land. Consequently he invested in a tract to which he added as
his success continued, until at one time he was the owner of ten hundred and eighty
acres. In addition to the cultivation of the soil he became interested in the grain
and stock business, buying at Chesterfield, his operations amounting to fifty thousand
dollars the first year. In 1906 he discontinued his farming to devote his entire
attention to his grain and stock business, which he has greatly developed until today
his sales amount to practically a half million dollars per year. He is an extensive
cattle feeder and is a large landowner, possessing some of the finest and best
equipped farms in Macoupin county.
On the 13th of May, 1880, Mr. Rigsbey was united in marriage to Miss Carrie C. Adams,
a daughter of John Quincy Adams, of Garrett county, Kentucky, of which state her
grandparents were also natives. By this union were born seven children, as follows:
Ora Lee, the wife of H. G. Loper, of Macoupin county; Arthur, who passed away at the
age of seventeen years; Will Q., residing in Macoupin county; Ida May, deceased; Edna,
who married T. I. Dowland, of this county; and Edward and Alvena, both at home. The
wife and mother passed away in October, 1899, and in 1900 Mr. Rigsbey was again
married, his second union being with Miss Annie D. Snidle, who was born March 6, 1878,
a daughter of James and Emma (Coatney) Snidle, of Macoupin county. The father was born
in Yorkshire, England, a son of Edward and Nancy Snidle, who came to America a few
years after the arrival of their son in Macoupin county, Illinois. The maternal
grandparents of Mrs. Rigsbey were born in this county. By the second marriage of Mr.
Rigsbey there were five children, as follows: Cleo, who died at the age of ten years;
and Vivian, James T., Jr., Clarence and Anne May, all yet at home.
Mr. Rigsbey is a faithful member of the Methodist church and fraternally he is
identified with the Modern Woodmen of America. Although he gives his support to the
democratic party at the polls, he is liberal in his political views and public-spirited
in his citizenship. He has never had time nor inclination for participating actively in
the public life of the community, for his extensive business interests have demanded
his entire attention. Few men of Macoupin county more richly deserve the proud American
title of a self-made man, for, on the strength of his own resources, through the
constant application of perseverance, coupled with hard work and careful management, he
has been able to rise in the business world from comparative penury and obscurity to a
position of prominence among the most successful and representative citizens of this
county, and his prosperity is all the more creditable from the fact that it has been
honorably won, his methods ever being fair and aboveboard.

Am looking for info on Meriweather Thomas b ca 1790 Va d ca 1860
in Goochland County Virginia. He married Susanna Rigsby 25 Aug
1810 in Louisa County Va. His father is possibly Charles Thomas.
Meriweather possibly has a sister by the name of Ann who married
Samuel Rigsby which is the brother of Susanna. They are the
children of William C. Rigsby and Susannah Adams.
