I remember them talking about the relative that went with the Mormans. We have a book written by Alvie Ray Smith about Bethuel Riggs, it was very informative for us in our research. My daughter has been picking my brain fo old family memories. I'll be 83 in June so there are a lot of memories there.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14603540525301784269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6780824883768425920.post-81996083973896894162019-03-20T07:15:53.974-06:002019-03-20T07:15:53.974-06:00Keevin, Happy to meet you.

My former in-laws (who this line is connected to me through) told me that to this day the family knows "something" happened in Nauvoo generations before that was a "scandal" and nobody would talk about it....apparently the scandal was Nathaniel joining the church and leaving to Utah.tranquilmorninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15662695809944093517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6780824883768425920.post-43794726989959797852017-08-07T08:34:37.644-06:002017-08-07T08:34:37.644-06:00Thanks and thanks so much for making contact, whic...Thanks and thanks so much for making contact, which child of Nathaniel's do you come through?Vickie Beard Thompsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09188093993517504733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6780824883768425920.post-44792305545549749182017-08-06T11:38:50.019-06:002017-08-06T11:38:50.019-06:00Nathaniel Riggs is my third great grandfather.
