Some Riggin sources include: Teage Riggen Book by Sharol Riggin pg. 426. Although born in Louisana, she had many relatives in Hinds county, Miss. It could be assumed that she was in that area when she met Jacob Braswell.
After Jacob died, Mary was having a hard time with the kids. Jacob's brother, Marcus was in Texas with a child. His wife had died also. It was decided to bring Mary and kids to Texas and keep house for Marcus. After a time,' they decided to make it legal'. Her name at marriage to Marcus was Mary Estelle (Riggins) Braswell. They then had their own kids, causing a lot of half-brothers and sisters... that were already cousins. Buried: Hubbard Chapel Cemetery, south of De Kalb, Bowie, Texas.

Passed down through the family:
" I do have some things that came from Grandmother Smith's memory, Here is what she tells: The Robison family came from Ireland in 1732 and settled in Pennslyvania. The family had a 480 acre plantation in Cumberland County PA. The family story is that Elizabeth & William were on their way to the swamps (what they called the North Louisiana area) and they stopped with relatives in Fulton Arkansas. They learned that there was malaria in the swamps and that some of the family had died in the swamps. So they decided to stay in Arkansas until the malaria was under control. She says they found hills, and good spring water in Arkansas. They may have lived in Piqua Miami Co. Ohio. On the Ohio in the lower part of the state. Madden and Robison families may have come down the Ohio to Arkansas and to Louisiana.
William P Robison volunteered for service in the war of 1812 at Cinncinnati Ohio, for a period of 6 months in the command of Lt. Leonards company (Clarkson) in the regiment of volunteers commanded by Col. Sutton. He was honorably discharged. He was about 6 foot high tall, fair complexion, blue eyes and black hair. He had the rank of Corporal. He was living in Miami Co. Ohio in 1815. He married Elizabeth Madden in Fulton Arkansas in 1820. He was in Clairborne parish, LA before 1827. He enlisted in the Mexican War at New Orleans, LA May 24, 1846, mustered out August 17, 1846. He had l2 children, mostly all were either born in Louisiana or Texas."
