Edward Sr. was the first generation immigrant of the Riggs family. He was born in about 1590 in England, perhaps in Lincolnshire or Yorkshire. He landed in Boston in 1633 with his wife Elizabeth Rooke Riggs (105), two sons and four daughters. They were among the early settlers in Roxbury, Massachusetts, where the first death of record was his daughter Lydia in August 1633. He became a freeman (church member, thus qualified under theological law to vote) in 1634 and his daughter Elizabeth and son John died in 1634 and his wife in 1635. In 1649, he owned 40 acres at Roxbury. His second wife, Elizabeth Frese Riggs (b. Feb. 4, 1638), died in 1669. Edward died in 1672.
