VOLUME II
ROBERT L. RIGGS, one of the fore- most citizens of Mckeesport, is descended from an ancestry which can be traced for over three centuries. Edward Riggs, the first of that name in America, was born in Lincolnshire, England, in 1590. He came to Boston with his wife, two sons and four daughters in 1633, and set- tled at Roxbury, Mass., and in 1634 was granted the privilege of citizenship. He had a son, Edward, born in England in 1614, who came to America with his par- ents, and on April 5, 1635, married a Miss Roosa. The second Edward and his wife moved later to a place afterwards known as Riggs Hill, near Milford, Conn., where they resided for a number of years, and then, in 1665, moved and settled with a colony at Derby, N. J. They were the parents of three sons and one daughter, viz. : Edward, Samuel, Joseph and Mary. The father died in 1668. Edward Riggs, the third of that name, was born in Roxbury, about 1636, was married in 1660, and reared a family of ten children. The third born was named Edward. He was born in Newark, N. J., about 1668, and about 1692 married Alphia Stoughton. They lived most of their lives near the village of Milbourn, N. J., and had six boys and one girl: Edward, Daniel, Samuel, Thomas, Joseph, Mary and David. David Riggs, son of Edward and Alphia (Stoughton) Riggs, was born at Basking Ridge, N. J., in 1709. He married Elizabeth Cox and resided in Middle- II-2

sex county, N. J. Mr. and Mrs. David Riggs had six children, of whom the second was named Joseph. He was born at Basking- ridge, N. J., April 24, 1740, and, when about twenty-one years old was married to Miss Leah Cosad, of true Dutch stock. They were the parents of eight children. Of these, the second, Edward, was born near Hightstown, N. J., July 21, 1764. When twenty years old he moved west and located on the waters of Short creek, near Wheeling, W. Va., and the following year went to Pittsburg, Pa., where, in May, 1785, he was married to Mary Higbee. In 1786 he located on a 400-acre tract some ten miles southwest of Pittsburg, on Peters creek, where he spent the rest of his days as a farmer. He was in religious belief a Baptist, and when he died, Oct. 4, 1843, he was buried in the Peters creek burying ground of the Baptist church. Edward and Mary (Higbee) Riggs had six chil- dren, as follows: Nancy, born June 20, 1787, and on April 30, 1807, married to Elijah Townsend; Eleanor, born Nov. 10, 1791 ; Joseph, born Nov. 18, 1794; John, born March 6, 1800; Edward, born July 2, 1802, and Mary, born May 11, 1810. John Riggs, father of the subject of this sketch, was born on the old homestead near Library, Pa., and, in January, 1821, was married to Mary Philips, grand- daughter of Rev. David Philips, a pioneer Baptist minister, who came to Pennsylvania from South Wales and founded the Peters Creek Baptist church. He left a numerous family. His daughter, Mary, was born April 13, 1800, and died Jan. 25, 1882. Her hus- band died Feb. 22, 1848. Mr. and Mrs. John Riggs were the par- ents of the following children: David, born May 3, 1822; Sarah, born July 31, 1824; Edward, born Sept. 28, 1826; Josiah, born Jan. 17, 1829; Lewis, born Aug. 14, 1831; Joseph B., born Feb. 10, 1834; John P., born March 2, 1836; Robert L., born Aug. 26, 1838; William J., born Dec. 21, 1840; Obadiah H., born July 6, 1843, and Isaac W., born May 1, 1846. All of the children lived to mature age. Robert L. Riggs, the subject of this sketch, was born and reared on the old Riggs farm, near what is now Library, in Snowden township, Allegheny Co., Pa. When a boy, he attended the district school and then completed his education at Bethel academy. Being thrown onto his own resources by the death of his father, he supported himself for several years by teach- ing school, and for two years, 1864-1866, acted as principal of the Mckeesport schools. He next embarked successfully in the drug business, with Jesse Sill as a partner, the partnership continuing until the death of Mr. Sill, in 1878. While in the drug business, Mr. Riggs improved his spare moments by studying telegraphy,

After the combination, he had charge of the Western Union office and transmitted many messages. After the death of his partner, Mr. Riggs conducted the drug business for about two years alone, and then, in 1880, engaged in the planing mill and lumber business with James R. Gemmill and John A. Lucas, under the firm name of Gemmill, Riggs & Co., the concern owning the prop- erty now occupied by the National lumber company. In 1885 Mr. Riggs sold out his interest in this concern, and in 1889 again embarked in the same business in company with Bert Hubbell, the second partnership lasting about three years. Since that time he has not been actively engaged in business, his attention being required altogether in looking after his extensive real estate hold- ings. On April 19, 1864, Mr. Riggs married Miss Cordelia C. B. Whigham, daughter of John and Margaret (Cunningham) Whigham. Mr. and Mrs. Riggs at once began housekeeping in Mckeesport, and have resided there ever since. Seven children were born to them, as follows: Effa W., born Jan. 21, 1865; Jessie J., born Jan. 26, 1868, and died Sept. 21, 1891; Thomas Alvin, born March 2, 1871; William W., born Feb. 3, 1874, and died Sept. 7, 1874; Viola M., born Dec .. 16, 1875; Clifford R., born Dec. 14, 1878; Walter Lee, born Nov. 24, 1882. Mr. Riggs has long been one of the leading citizens of Mckeesport, and has been actively interested in all movements tending toward the betterment of the city. He was treasurer of Mckeesport in 1878 and 1879, and was for fifteen years a member of the board of education, being most of the time either secretary or president of that body. He was one of the prime movers in the establishment of the Mckeesport hospital, and has been on the board of trustees almost continuously since its organi- zation. He was also one of the organizers of the bank of McKees- port, and for many years one of the directors of that institution. Mr. Riggs has long been one of the most respected members of the Baptist church, having been a deacon in the church for thirty-four years, or since February, 1869. He was also, from 1865 to 1894, with the exception of two years, superintendent of the Baptist Sun- day-school. In politics he is a republican.
