    Gibbens-Butcher continues:  "The widow of Benjamin Gibbens, in after years, wedded Benjamin Riggs, by whom were born several children.  This name was quite prominent in the pioneer era of Wood county, in social and professional circles.  Several members of this family had moved west across the Alleghanies, and settled also on the Little Kanawha river.  To Benjamin Riggs and the widow of Gibbens were born four children, Elizabeth, Townsley, Sarah and Thomas.  The mother, Gibbens-Riggs and Sarah, died and were buried near the Pribble settlement, on the opposite and west side of the stream; the others, it is traditionally stated, emigrated to or near Vincennes, Indiana."
