  • Notes 
    • Levi Monroe Jackson claimed parentage of 4 of Ellen Rigney's children; however DNA results show Madison Monroe Jackson's, son, Cassell's lineage is a perfect 37 marker match to the Reynolds of Pittsylvania County, Virginia.

      Hughey Reynolds Family lived in Vashtie and lists Hughy O. Reynolds, Rosa A. Reynolds and yet another Wm. B. Reynolds,

      Library of Virginia Chancery Naming Sarah Philpott Reynolds Grandchildren, listed by Family

      Hugh Reynolds, s/o Sarah Philpott Reynolds and John Devin Reynolds, married 1st, Frances M. Bishop (1840-18 Aug 1863), and 2nd, Elizabeth J. Haley (1845-), d/o Thomas Jefferson Haley (1808-?) and Nancy Lester (1817-) Haley. Children are Hugh Oliver b 1872-Jan 18, 1951 Burried in Boones Chapel Ch. Cem., Penhook, VA who married (7 May 1899 Franklin, VA) Annie Lee Bishop (1873-1950); Rosa A. Reynolds, also known as Rosanna and Rosie b. 10 Jul 1874 Pitt. who married Henry Morris 26 Jul 1908 in Franklin Co., VA (another unknown husband is also purported; Fannie Reynolds b 8 Jun 1880 in Pittsylvania. No other information about Fannie. and William Barton Reynolds born 1 Jun 1885 in Pittsylvania. Three of these children are shown on Census Records and on Chancery Court Records located in the LVA.

      This is the Hughey Reynolds who lived next to Ellen Rigney in 1870's and 1880's. Sarah Philpott is his mother. Ellen Rigney had 13 illegitimate children and lived next door to Ellen. It is suspected that one of Ellen's children, Madison Monroe may be the s/o Hughey, although it is not proven. Only that the descendant's dna is a perfect match to the Reynolds of Pittsylvania County, VA -Mary Frances Reynolds Eggleston

      Eleanor Sidney RIGNEY
      Birth: JUN 1844 in Briar Mountian Pitts., Co. VA
      Death: 1904 in Briar Mountian Pitts., Co., VA
      Note:
      Yvonne,
      Eleanor Sidney Rigney was my GGreat-grandmother too! My great grandfather was Robert's brother James Hunter Rigney. I have some family letters also. They are from F.B. Clement, Benjamin F. Clement's son by his second "marriage". He was an attorney in Nashvilee, Arkansas. The letters are dated 1949-1950 and sent to Mrs. G.C. Powell (Estelle Rigney). She is the daughter of Robert and James brother, Albert. On the second page of one of his letters it says "he did the Rigney children an injustice and a wrong in abandoning them without support. What are their feelings toward him?" I am missing the 1st page to that one, but I have 3 others complete. Ellen and Benjamin never got married, but had 13 children. Ellen married Levi Monroe Jackson October 4, 1894 and the last 4 of her children took his name.
      Ellen and Ben's children:
      William Johnson Rigney, b. March 8, 1863
      Benjamin Lee Rigney, b. March 14, 1866
      Albert Sidney Rigney, July 13, 1867
      Mary Ellen Rigney, b. April 9, 1868
      Samuel Harris Rigney, b. abt 1870
      Horis G. Rigney, b. abt 1872
      Robert Morris Rigney, b. abt1873
      Ida Belle Rigney, b. June 15, 1875
      James Hunter Rigney, b. Dec 13, 1878
      Madison Monroe Rigney, b. August 1879
      Minnie G. Rigney, b. July 1882
      Lula M. Rigney, b. Jan 1884
      Anne Rigney, b. May 1885

      I also have a letter to Mr. James R. Huntsman of Stillwater, Minn. dated 1978, from Madalene Vaden Fitzgerald. She is doing some family research for him. I don't know who he is. She had a note given to her by Mrs. Maude Carter Clement, Historian, and wife of the late Senator Nathaniel E. Clement. It told her about how 3 of Benjamin Clement's brothers were killed in a feud. There isn't much else in it except she said she would look for marriage record for Ellen and Benjamin.
      Ellen is probably daughter to Sally Lolly Adkins that married Owen Rigney. She then took on the Rigney name.

      **
      According to her entry in the 1900 census, Ellen had 13 children; the first nine went by Rigney and the last four by Jackson. Ellen married Levi Monroe Jackson in 1894 and in the 1900 census, the last four children (Mattison, b. 1879 or 1880, Minnie G., b. Jul 1882, Lula M., b. Jan 1884, and Anne, b. May 1885) were listed as Levi Monroe Jackson's STEP children. Descendants of the children who went by Rigney insist that she had a long-term relationship with Benjamin Turner Clement who later in life moved to Nashville, Arkansas, where he married and had one son. However, he frequently returned to Pittsylvania county to visit his sister who lived near Ellen Rigney. Although Ellen went by Rigney, in the 1850 census she is listed in the household of Owen Rigney, wife Sally Rigney, son John Rigney, l year old. Also in the household were Ellen ADKINS, age 9, and Susanna ADKINS, age 7 -- suggesting that these two girls were the children of Sally, but NOT Owen. When Ellen married in 1894 her mother was given as Sallie Rigney; no father was listed.
      **
      Madison M. who went by Jackson married Lousetta Wells in 1910. They lived in Mountain Valley, Henry Co.
      In the 1850 census Owen Rigney's household showed Sally and a 9-year-old girl names Ellen Adkins. I'm beginning to think that this Ellen is the one who became Ellen Rigney. She may have been a daughter or a sister of the Sally 'Lolley' Adkins who married Owen Rigby.
