Since we were talking of John Rigdon last week I thought I would pas
along this information that showed up on VA ROOTS this morning....

probably

on and said he had

> Well, what I received for the $3.00 I agreed to send was COPIES of a
bunch of

few of

> The value of what I received sits in my printer, face down, to be used for

> J Rigdon, from what it appears, is not an individual on this list as

> Augusta, S.C. and apparently he's here to push his worthless wares.
