Research Notes
We believe that Mary Rigney has another brother, John, son of Johnathon. This is supported by the naming of her son John Rigney. Henton (her other children had family names), also this allows for the 5th male on the 1790 census in the household of Johnathon Rigney in Pittsylvania Co., VA.
