This may be of help to you....
1900 census: Greenvine, Washington, TX:
67-67 William Riggs, head, born Nov 1872, 27, married 1 year, TX, LA, TX, farmer
Rosa Lee, wife, born May 1881, 19, married 1 year, AL, AL, AL
1900 census: Burleson TX:
Sam Riggs, boarding with the Samuel Wanfus family.He was born mar 1878, TX, LA, TX
from TX deaths from familysearch pilot:
William Raglin Riggs, born Nov 19, 1874, Bryan TX. Died June 7, 1964, Collin Co TX.
George Samuel Riggs, born 11 Mar 1877 Burleson Co TX. Died 20 Nov 1976, San Saba, TX. Parents: Pleasant B. Riggs and Melvina Lawrence.
Try as I might I was unable to locate them in the 1880 census.Surely at least part of the family was there in either Burleson or Washington Co (they border on each other) but a search by first name or last name was unsuccessful.But I did find the following:
1870 census: Western Dist, Burleson Co TX:
Pleasant B. Riggs, 21, LA
Malvina Riggs, 19
Pleasant B. Riggs married Melvina Lawrence, 24 June 1869, Burleson, TX
1860 census: Calcasieu, Louisiana:
Pleasant Riggs, 49
William Riggs, 18, LA
Lucretia, 14, LA
Nancy, 12, LA
Pleasant, 10, LA
I did see in 1880 in Burleson Co TX:
287-288: WIlliam Riggs, 35, LA, TN, LA
Emily, 31, TX, Ark, TX
**This could be William - brother to Pleasant.
If I were you, I would search for guardianship and deeds and probate in Burleson Co especially, and look in Washington Co secondary. You may have looked there already
And, you can view Rosa's death certificate on the family search pilot website as well:
Rosa Lee Anna Riggs, born May 27, 1881, AL. Died 10-22-1948, Dallas TX.Daughter of JOhn M. Jones (born AL) and Frances West (born AL)
This is not my family, just trying to be of help to you. Trish Elliott-Kashima, Lawrenceburg TN
