Comments:	My great grandfather was William Riley Riggs. He married Sarah O'Dell. Does anyone happen to know what her middle name was? William and Sarah had 4 children, William Elisha b. 1871 d. 1944. Does anyone know what month/day he was born and passed away on? They also had Jesse and Jeptha. Does anyone know what their middle names were?

Comments:	Updated Information: I talked to my sister,I was wrong on the date...She said that the stirrup was from my mothers side of the family. She said the date is 1773 or 1783, she says it was hand made. She tells me I got my middle name from the Hynes side of the family.My mothers fathers name.I was wrong on the "Horse" story about the Riggs bringing the horses to america. My father was Milford T. Riggs, born 11 March 1926 at Ironton,Mo....She told me my brother was named after him, that would have made him Milford T.Riggs III or maybe the IV....My fathers brothers name was Thomas Carter Riggs. I do hope that straightens things out....Thanks Samuel W. Riggs
