Hello Sara,

I am new to this. I am trying to find out more about my great-grandparents. The surname that I am researching is Riggs. The county is Onslow.

Hi there! Welcome! I'm sure once you've posted and gotten some responses, you'll get the hang of this in no time!

Riggs is a big Onslow County name. I'll add a surname forum for it and maybe if you go there and post what you know, there might be others who will have information they can add. 🙂

I'd like to request Gatlin and King. I have so much stuff about the Gatlin family it's not even funny and I still don't know where my John Gatlin fits. I have a theory, but I can't prove it. Also, my grandmother was a King, but I don't know where her ancestry fits among the King families in the area. The furthest I've gone back with absolute certainty is Thomas King who died in May 1835. I think he's the one who married Sidney Lawson, but am not sure.
