Riggs  
Searching for Elizabeth Riggs wife of
Carter Peake

Elizabeth was born in 1801 probably in Washington County, KY
Her mother was probably named Rebecca
A W.D.Riggs signed as witness Carter Peake's will
This is all I know for certain


 
Carter was the son of Robert Peake and Elizabeth Clark.  I have heard that Carter's sister Anna Peake married Ephriam Dickens b. 1761 who had a brother Christopher whose daughter Elizabeth Lucy Dickens married Joseph Riggs.  If anyone has information on the line of Elizabeth and Joseph Riggs, I'd appreciate any possible link to Elizabeth Riggs

Also:

Robert Peak, father of Carter had a sister Winifred (Winny) Peake who married Wm. Sutton.   Their daughter Elizabeth (1802-1881) was said to have married her cousin John Hunter (1801-1876).  Yet another report says that there was an Elizabeth Sutton who married Samuel Riggs b. 1796.  I am trying to find more solid records on this couple.  In 1795 the last recordance of Wm. Sutton is found, when he signs a marriage bond for Winifred's sister to marry John Fairth.  He may have moved to Adair County, as there is a Wm. Sutton who was one of the builders of a court house there, in 1801.  Any help with this possability would also be most welcomed.
