Luker/Rigsby of Alabama and Texas
I've just begun on my grandmother's maternal line. Her maiden name is Helen Loreath Manning (although a school listing has her as Helen L. Rigsby)She was a very secretive woman who didn't like to talk about her family at all. It was only in the last 6 months of her life that my uncle and I were able to get any information from her.
Her mother's name is Sadie Rigsby but she was known as "Ruby" because of her red hair.I located a death certificate for Sadie. She was born in AL in April 1903 and died in San Antonio TX in July 1954.Her parents are listed as Allen & Barbara Rigsby.They moved to Texas sometime after 1903.My grandmother was born in Northeast Texas somewhere in the vicinity of Dallas or its surrounding counties. I did a google search for Allen and Barbara Rigsby and located a marriage listing for Allen R (Robert) Rigsby and Barbara A Luker on 1/16/1978. They moved to Terrell,TX (Kaufman County) in 1905 with all of their surviving children (one son, James Allen Rigsby,remained in Alabama).
I'm looking for anyone who might know the names of the remaining siblings.My grandmother only mentioned her uncles Jim and Robert. (both Allen and Robert are family names)and someone called "Doc" who was a barber . .I believe that Doc was married to one of grandmother's aunts.I'm also looking for info on Allen and Barbara..I believe Barbara's father is a Benjamin A Luker adnher mother is
Thanks to anyone who can help
