James
Rigdon migrated from
Fleming county,
Ky.
to Ste.Genevieve around 1805-1815. He was born
Harford Maryland. I believe he was a millwright. His son James E
Rigdon probably operated the mill and than he had sons,Two in particular Peter and Felix who operated the mill up until around 1890-1900.
Most of this information I gathered from old ste. Genevieve newpaper stories. I like to have a picture of that mill He you email it. James was my Grt Grt Grt Grt
Grand dad.
