Person:David Riggs (2)

David Riggs, was born near Basking Ridge, N. J., about 1749, and probably grew to manhood there, as he married Sallie Cox, a near relative of his mother’s, in 1777. They lived in Monmouth County for some years, and there is a tradition that their eldest son was born the day of the battle and not far from the battlefield of Monmouth. About the close of the century the family removed to what became Wayne County, N. Y. For the details of the family we have nothing but the dim recollections of the descendants.
