Oakes kloakes9@gmail.com via p3plmcpnl484769.prod.phx3.secureserver.net Comments (Eleanor Sidney 'Ellen' Rigney b. Jun 1844 Pittsylvania County, Virginia d. 1904 Pittsylvania County, Virginia): You are reflecting: Julia Graves Rigney, b. 11 Jul 1872, Pittsylvania County, Virginia d. 25 Mar 1951, Callands, Pittsylvania County, Virginia (Age 78 years) as Eleanor Sidney Rigney daughter. Eleanor Rigney, whose name is Ellen by the way, is my grandmother. Please furnish me the proper documentation for your listing of Julia Graves Rigney as her child or I ask that you remove it. Kenneth L. Oakes kloakes9@gmail.com Reply by MFE Mary Frances Eggleston Dear Kenneth, Thank you for your inquiry regarding Julie Rigney, d/o Elleanor Sidney Rigney. Exhaustive research of this family reveals Julia as a daughter of Ellen Rigney. Her name: Eleanor Sidney Rigney is found on two photographs of her, contributed by her descendants. She was known as Ellen, we believe it a nickname for Eleanor. https://reynoldspatova.org/showmedia.php?mediaID=17133&medialinkID=26141 https://reynoldspatova.org/showmedia.php?mediaID=17200 The errors on the death certificate of the names of her parents are also found on the death certificates of others of her children. The DC of her son James Hunter Rigney lists his parents as Mary Ellen Rigney and James Rigney. https://reynoldspatova.org/showmedia.php?mediaID=10957 Son, Benjamin Lee Rigney DC shows Ellen Rigney for his mother and Don't Know of his father. https://reynoldspatova.org/showmedia.php?mediaID=10928 Whale Rigney's DC shows Ben Clement and Ellen Rigney https://reynoldspatova.org/showmedia.php?mediaID=10948 Robert M. Rigney DC claims unknown for both Mother and Father https://reynoldspatova.org/showmedia.php?mediaID=10958 As does Ida Bell Rigney Oakes https://reynoldspatova.org/showmedia.php?mediaID=10949&medialinkID=15042 William Johnson Rigney DC says the names of his parents are Unobtainable https://reynoldspatova.org/showmedia.php?mediaID=10959 Moreover the children of Polly Gibson, wife of William Rigney (1815-?) do not include Elvira or a Richard Rigney on Family Search Mary Horan 'Polly' Gibson 1814?1869 Marriage: 3 December 1834 Willis Griffin Rigney 1836?1906 Mary Jane Rigney 1843?1914 Mary Rigney 1859?Deceased Sanders Rigney 1837?Deceased Henry S Rigney 1838?1864 Leah Ann Catherine Rigney 1841?Deceased Charles William "Dick" Rigney 1845?1926 Letitia Rigney 1847?Deceased William Isaac Rigney 1850?1928 Elizabeth Rigney 1852?Deceased Booker T. Rigney 1853?1855 John Taylor Rigney 1856?1931 Lucinda Rigney 1858?Deceased Beauregard Rigney 1858?Deceased https://ancestors.familysearch.org/en/KZR2-PB2/william-rigney-1815 Many errors are found on Death Certificates, even in my own family. We believe the erroneous names on the death certificates are because these children knew they were illigement and it was somewhat a stigma in those days. The fact that Julia does not appear on the 1880 census, can mean she was in another HH with her families which are shown in successive order on that Census. We do not find a Richard that qualifies as her father. I will remove this record upon receipt of any further documentation you can provide, in order to prove your assertions. Much of this research was by Jodi Davis before her death. Kindest regards, Mary Frances Eggleston (nee Reynolds) Records found for Richard Rigney and Elvira Gibson
