    Notes:

    Rigdon was paying taxes in Harrison County as early as 1851. Census records that include Rigdon and Mary Ann say William was born in Alabama but the ones recorded when he was an adult say he was born in Texas. I believe that Artimisia probably died shortly after his birth - in Texas - or possibly two years later about the time she would have been having another child. Rigdon may have died in either Marion or Harrison county.

    Notes:

    There is a historical marker honoring William Delafield as a patriot in the LaGrone Cemetery near Hallsville, Texas. He is also listed in the Roster of Texas Daughters Revolutionary Ancestors. There is also a book "Delafield - The Family History" by Brigadere General John Ross Delafield.
    The marker states:
    "A veteran of the American Revolution; lived in this area as patriarch of a family whose history typifies westward movement of the people of the United States. Son of Nicholas Delafield, a cooper in the English Navy in 1740s and an artisan living in Mecklenburg County, Va., as early as the 1760s. William Delafield as a lad of 16 served in the militia company of a neighbor, Capt. Reuben Vaughan, during the year 1779 when the former American colonies-- joined together against the tyranny of George III of Great Britain. In 1785 William Delafield, then 22, moved to Georgia. There he brought up a family and in 1827 was awarded land on basis of his Revolutionary War service. By 1832 he and a son Nicholas lived in Alabama, where in 1836 both received land grants in Barbour County. The son in 1846 settled here in Harrison County, Tex. By 1850 William Delafield also lived here, where he was known to neighbors as an elderly man who sat in a rocking chair relating stories of old times. He had lost a leg, probably in frontier fighting in Georgia against the Indians. His descendants include persons who have attained distinction in military and civilian life in Texas and other states."

    May 4, 1785
    To His Excellency Patrick Henry, Esquire
    Governor of Virginia
    Sir,
    The power of pardoning for Felonious Offences being left with you & the Hin'ble the Council of Stste, we beg leave to address you in behalf of William Delafield now under sentence of death for horse stealing..
    Although we exercise the crime & are sensible that the most vigorous infliction of the laws of our Country should attend it's conviction--Yet, Sir, as the Mercy of our country thro' your Excellence (word unintelligle) is often extended to Offenders of this rank; permit us, urged by a hope, that (as this is the first) it will be the last offence of this nature the unhappy man will commit; to offer our Intreaties, accompanied by our wishes, that he may receive a pardon.
    We might here mention several alleviating Circumstances, that might operate with your Excellency in this consideration; but will only observe the anxiety of an aged Father for an only Son, a Father whose Tenor of life (from a long couple of acquaintance) has ever been esteem'd moral & irreproachable;--& the Son (this instance excepted) as far as we know or have heard has never been charged with offence.--
    The sincear desire we are persuaded that rests with your excellency, to comply with every request of this sort, --not incompatible, with the security and dignity of the Citizens over whom you preside; & the instances that have been attended with Happy effects during your administrations, prompts us to Hope our Request will be granted. --& with the Highest Respect subscribe ourselves.
    Sir, Your excellencys most obedient & most Hbe servts.
