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.
