Biography

From Genealogy of the Riggs Family: With a Number of Cognate Branches Descended ... By John Hankins Wallace. appendix. GoogleBooks

Andrew Riggs, son of the first Thomas, was born at Gloucester, Mass., 1682, and in 1704 he married Mary Richardson. Nothing of his history or employments has come down to us. Mr. Savage says he was still living in 1771. He had sons—William, Joseph and George—besides six daughters, not named. There are no dates or locations attaching to any one of these children.

Notes

From http://www.thomasriggshouse.com/History.htm

When Thomas Sr.'s youngest son Andrew married Mary Richardson in 1704, a single-storey cape was added to the log house. In 1753 Andrew's youngest son George built the gambrel roof, accommodating three upstairs bedchambers. The house remained in the Riggs family nearly untouched until the current owner designed a timber-frame wing of 18th-c. handhewn beams that provides a great room and loft as well as the house's first permanent electricity, running water, and heat (save for the six working fireplaces).
