I'm also descended from Peter Kimble & Rachel Riggs, through their daughter Elizabeth Ellen, who married her cousin Asa Kimble (son of Daniel & Hannah).I'm also trying to find out about Peter & Rachel's parentage.I do have their birth dates, etc...Peter was born in 1804 in Greene Co PA and died 20 Aug 1856.He married Rachel Riggs in 1833.She was born 16 May 1815 and died 14 Jun 1884, also in Greene Co, PA.Their children were: Elizabeth Ellen (b 16 Jul 1835, d Jan 1911); Daniel (b 1838, d 1865 in the Civil War); James M. (b 7 Oct 1842, d 1864 in Richmond Prison--Civil War); Abraham (b 20 Apr 1844, d 1908); Sarah (b 12 Apr 1847); David (b 16 Jan 1849, d 5 May 1926); Jackson; and Mary.
There's a story in my family about Peter...seems he and Rachel had a hired girl named Hannah.Peter was sort of sweet on Hannah.One evening at supper, the bread wasn't up to standard and Peter was growling about it.He said to his wife, "Who baked that bread, Rach?"Rachel politely said, "Hannah, Peter."Peter snapped back, "My God, that's good bread!"
Let me know if you get any info on Peter's parents, and I'll do the same.
