I am looking for information on surname Riggin. The Riggin's were from Crisfield, Maryland. The 5 Riggin brothers came to Carteret County, NC (Marshallberg) and opened a seafood packing plant in the late 1800's or early 1900's. After about 15 years the plant was closed and all but one of the Riggin brothers went back to Maryland. Thomas Wingate Riggin stayed in Marshallberg along with his 2 daughters, Georgia and Elva. Both of these daughters married a Davis. Wingate remarried Janie Lucas Hill Willis (?) and they had several children. Any information about this line (between Wingate Riggin and Janie would be greatly appreciated. I am especially interested in photographs.
