"Lieutenant Riggs served with distinction during the remainder of the [Indian] war [of about 1811-1815, coincident with the War of 1812 but a different war], and afterward became a prominent citizen of Lincoln county. He was the first County Judge of that county, and was subsequently elected Sheriff. During the Black Hawk war he was commissioned Brigadier-General of Volunteers, and afterward served as Brigadier-General of militia. He was a daring, but cautious and prudent officer, and if the unfortunate Callaway had listened to his advice, his life and the lives of his men would have been spared
General RIGGS settled in Lincoln county, three miles north of Troy, on the Auburn road, where he died, in 1835. His widow died in 1873, and was buried at Louisiana, Mo. The remains of several of the children, who had died and were buried in Lincoln county, were removed in 1874 and re-interred by the side of their mother's grave.
Was the son of Rev. Bethel Riggs, a Baptist preacher, of Campbell Co., KY. In 1812 he removed to Missouri and settled within the present limits of Lincoln County; and in 1813 he organized the Sulpher Springs Baptist Church.
