I have traced the Driggers back to the 1600s. Emmanuel Rodriguez was one of the first established negros in the new world. Rodriguez became Driggers. Actually if you look up Emmanuel Rodriguez Driggers (on any Internet search engine) you'll find all kinds of interesting stuff on him -- more than I've been able to find on any other family members.

My grandfather is Edward Duane Oxley, and Leanner was his grandmother. He only remembers seeing her once -- she was very old and laying in bed. I'll see what other info I've got.

Lynn
last we spoke was 3/25/12, and we are home now from our mission work.

working in my tree and wondering where you stand on your search..
it has been quite while you started, and what you were looking for.
What progress have you made?
What did your find out and what are you still looking for?

This last year I took a DNA test, and that proved to be
quite an eye opener. It was tracing the Male line for me, which is the HUFF.
Anecdotes and Oral records are fine, but nothing quite like the scientific information
and you get to see others who you don't know, but they have been looking for you, this figure they are hardly aware of.

As a Female Driggers Family line, you would be following you mother's line , but also your Family Finder, and your father's line.
it will check on all the family which flow into yours. Simple.. takes a mouth swarb.
Ever think about going that route..
not all that expensive for what it gives you

Robert B. Driggers/ Alice Bolton

ChristiS91 — 2012-04-28 01:27:51Z

Looking for any info on Robert Driggers born abt. 1876 married Alice Bolton. They would be my great great grandparents. I know they lived in Ft. Myers in 1912 when my great grandmother Agnes Faye was born. I found census records for both Robert and Alice but no mention of their parents or where they were born. Any help is appreciated. :)

purpleegg10 — 2012-03-12 03:29:26Z

I have Drucilla's father as being Isaac driggers. I was told this from a family member. also that Isaac was a pioner and married an indian but her name was not mentioned in the letter a received. This Driggers stuff is so confussing. i think that Drucilla had a daughter named Louiza who married Joseph Dinkins Stewart sr. Josheph is my gggrandfather. i also read where Drucilla inherited a lot of land from her mom or maybe both. I think the Stewarts had a good bit of land in pike co at one time.

Stephen Driggers b abt 1900

harmoncarol — 2011-10-27 16:30:40Z

looking for a photo of Stephen Driggers born about 1900. The Stephen I am looking for was the son of Annie Burbage Driggers born in 1880 who then married my great grandfather John W Speissegger born 1858 (tomb stone at Ridge church says 1860 death cert says 1858) my grand father Herbert Speissegger was their youngest son born 1920 and he had a younger sister believe it or not. This Stephen married a daughter of Jim Huff (Effie)

Looking for a picture of Stephen Driggers with his horses. The horses are Marsh Tackies

Olga Driggers

lland76 — 2011-10-17 00:03:13Z

Olgal Driggers was my paternal grandmother. I know she was born in South Carolina but that's about all I've been able to find. She had two sons, John Stevens Driggers (my dad) and William H. Driggers (my uncle). She also had a daughter. All I ever knew about her was that she married a German after WWII and the family called her "sister".
I would appreciate any help you can offer on any of these 4 Driggers. Thank you.

Re: Indian Heritage

kmdrig — 2011-10-13 17:11:14Z

You should be able to go to Driggers Family Tree, my public tree and see two photo's relating to Thomas F. Driggers. One is his tombstone and the other is his marriage certificate to Nancy Jane Smith. I do not have any pictures of him, specifically. I would love to have any information you have about William David Driggers or Myers Driggers, as well as the Stanford sisters.

Thanks!

Jacob E Driggers, married to Isabelle Willingham

fdpatman — 2011-10-06 15:11:59Z

I am trying to find which Driggers family Jacob E is connected to. He shows up in the 1860 Hillsborough Florida census and would have been born about 1835 in Georgia. One historian finds he was killed in 1863, according to county court records. Does anyone have information on the origins of this particular Jacob Driggers?

Re: Indian Heritage

drigs1 — 2011-10-03 18:42:47Z

William David Driggers is my GGGrandfather and my line is through his son, William Maxwell. I have a little information on Thomas F. (most of it supplied by Judy Kent) but some about the Brush Battalion that he also served in.

I've not seen photos of Thomas F. and would be very interested in seeing them.

I'm just getting back into my Driggers Family Research after taking a few years off to raise my family and am curious to see what new information has surfaced during the last fourteen years. Jim Driggers in Spokane

Driggers born in Florida prior to 1850?

fdpatman — 2011-10-02 20:24:44Z

I am researching Mary Frances Driggers, b. abt 1860 in Florida, married John Fraser in 1872 in Polk County, FL. In all census records containing family information, she lists both her parents as having been born in Florida. However, I cannot find any Florida Driggers listing her as their child. Does anyone know what Drigger families would have been in Florida prior to about 1845?

Re: Driggers of South Carolina

NancyMisenheimer33 — 2011-08-05 02:26:06Z

I am still working to document my Henry Parker being related or not to the Driggers family. I know now that the ydna Parker line from Johnston county North Carolina came from the same area that the N.C > S.C.Driggers family did. By the ydna my Henry Parker was related to the Johnston co. N.C. Parkers.
I was very interested to see that this Thomas Parker was married to Mary Ann Driggers but the time frame is off for my understanding this. I was reading some of Steven Pony Hill's research on a Thomas Parker who was reported to be living with the Catawba Nation in S.C. The time frame is earlier for this Thomas Parker I think. probably around 1760, just not sure. He was a trader with the Indians in that area. Do you have any data for Mark Driggers and Amy Driggers? Was Amy in Marlboro co. S.C. a biological Driggers or wife of a Driggers? Thank you

He would have passed away in the middle to the late 1960's"

Yes, that is correct information and I am his daughter.

Re: Holland Driggers

m_scrudder — 2011-03-07 23:09:29Z

I am not related to Holland Driggers, but this thread was interesting and I was curious about this family and decided to see what I could find: First I found Holand Dridgers, wife and 2 sons in the 1910 census, Hebron page 6A. Next, I found Hallan Dridgers in the 1920 census in Marion County, SC. He is with his wife and 2 sons. Next, I found Minnie Driggers' death record for 1 February 1942 in Florence, SC. She was a widow so I looked for Holland in the death records starting with 1942 going backwards to 1920 (because he was enumerated in that census) and BINGO! Holland Driggers died 15 April 1920 in Florence, SC. Unfortunately, the Florence newspapers on Ancestry do not go as far as 1920. But I was able to view an obituary for Minnie Driggers in the "Florence Morning News" 2 February 1942, front page (it is hard to read). Thank you for a fun challenge.

Frances Sweat who married Jack (J.A.) Driggers 1870 Marlboro County SC

jjcarolina — 2011-03-05 07:50:07Z

Anyone heard of Frances aka Francis aka Fannie Sweat (b. 1855) who married a Jack (J.A.) Driggers (b. 1848) in Marlboro County SC in 1870? This is a white family who lived in the McColl/Red Bluff area of Marlboro County. Believe Frances/Fannie's father was named Warren aka Wark Sweat and her mother was Margaret Sweat.

The 1910 census has Fannie living with 2 of her children in Red Hill and says she is widowed.

lisadriggers66 — 2011-03-03 21:15:49Z

Yes I have been there and it is beautiful. My Drigger's come from Coffee County also. The earliest one that I have is Henry John Driggers that was born about 1824. I am still trying to match JD Driggers to mine but so far I haven't been able to do it. I am in the Samson Alabama area,

Re: J.D. Driggers

timdriggers1 — 2011-03-03 19:12:12Z

JD Driggers is my great great grandfather. My grandfather was Johnny Fletcher Driggers and is buried in Evergreen Cemetary in Elba, Alabama next to his parents. Many of the Johnny Driggers family still live it the Elba Alabama area. My Dad was Howard Earl Driggers, but everyone called him Sam. He is buried at Hillcrest cemetery in Elba. My Unlce Bill Driggers lives in Elba and might be able to help you or my brother Mickey Driggers also lives there.

If you have ever been to Beaverdam Cemetery you know how beautiful it is. My Dad re worked JD's grave marker some time in the 80's to "repair" it. One of the last times I saw my Dad we went to Beaverdam to see the grave.

Good luck.

Looks like Francis/Fannie Drigger's maiden name was Sweat.
I will be back in touch when I have more info nailed down.

Hi, I am new to this and have been researching my Driggers roots and haven't been able to find much that I can connect with. My grandfather was Arnie M.

This might be the connection to my great great grandmother, Jane Driggers, who was the daughter of Jake Driggers and sister of Gashem Driggers. Do you have anything on her? Durrance is also one of my lines, so they must be connected somehow.

She only had 1 daughter, Louisa Driggers, my great grandmother and Jane only married once to Henry Conway.

Just added a collection of obits from Tattnall Co. at http://www.genealogybuff.com/ga/tattnall/webbbs_config.pl that has some unique surnames including: KICKLIGHTER, DURRENCE, TOOTLE, and DRIGGERS.
Use the watermarked search box with "Search Tattnall Co. Obits" in order to find your surnames in the collection. A list of all collections is at http://www.genealogybuff.com/obituary_collections.htm
Hope this helps.

Re: ga to fl driggers

cribbsgenealogy — 2010-10-11 05:34:46Z

Did this John Driggers die on/around 1894 and his wife Elizabeth die on/around 1896, and had a daughter named Phoebe? The daughter's name is also found phonetically spelled differently, what I wouldn't give for a birth certificate for her.

I'm in the process of acquiring a marriage license from the verified source physically for a couple by this name married in 1855.
