Mother: Jemima Jane Hockenberry
His death certificate lists BH Rigle as his father, but I find him in the 1850 & 1860 census living with Jacob & Jemima. His 1900 census has his birth state as Ohio, the death certificate lists Indiana. The death certificate lists his birth month as January, the 1900 census has October 1850. The informant for the death certificate is his son, Benjamin - who was living in Iowa at the time. It's likely that if he didn't know the state his father was born in and his birth date, he may be mistaken about the father - as unlikely as this seems today.
