• Notes

  There is a George Rigney in the 1850 census of Blount County, Alabama, but by then, Mary is not in the home, nor is any wife. In 1870, it appears that George is again alone in the household of a Francis & Rebecca Bryant, a young couple. I would suspect he is a lodger rather than a family member.
