 Rigdon Mill / Family - 2005/07/19 10:16 My parents own the property that contains the ruins of the Rigdon Mill on the River Aux Vasse creek in Ste. Gen county, and I'm interested in learning about more about its history. Any info on the mill or the family of James Rigdon would be appreciated.

 Re:Rigdon Mill / Family - 2005/07/24 19:51 Now, you may have already found all this but this is all I know now:

1840 Census
http://stegenevieve.net/content/view/50/88/
James Rigdon found on page 77A & 77B first page image, about a third of the way down. I believe he is marked as being in Bovey (Beauvais) Township.

1850 Census
http://stegenevieve.net/content/view/51/88/
Beauvais Township
#402 RIGDON
James A., age 34, born in MO
Josephine, 32, Germany
Mary J., 12, MO
James L., 10, MO
Marcelete, 8, MO
Emely, 6, MO
Lawrence, 4, MO

1900 Census

This first family appears to be the son of the James from above:

This appears also to be his son, where is wife is now living as a widow:
#358/360 RIGDON
Benjamin M. Head 33 July 1866 Married 10 years Mo. Mo. Germany Farmer
Josephine Wife 36 Jan. 1864 5 kids / 4 living Mo. Germany Mo.

Henry J. Son 6 Jan. 1894 Single Mo. Mo. Mo.
Virginia Dau 3 Oct. 1896 Single Mo. Mo. Mo.
Augusta Dau 9/12 Aug. 1899 Single Mo. Mo. Mo.

Some of these pages have more Rigdons that are probably related. If you haven't already, visit them and do a Ctrl+F search for Rigdon, it will find them all.

I hope this helps at least some. If nothing else it's a place to start! :: my family tree :: my photos ::

 Re:Rigdon Mill / Family - 2008/09/15 07:20 If you are still active in this forum, I have some family history information pertaining to the Rigdon Mill that I can send you in .pdf format. If there is some way to know how to send this to you, I would be happy to do so.
