I am looking for information on the parents and siblings of Thomas R Briggs, b 30 Dec 1826 in Kent Co, RI. I am also looking for the same information on his wife Sarah D ??? who was born in 1824 in RI. They moved to MA around 1845 and then in 1855 to MN where he served in the Civil War and became a lawyer and county attorney of Wright Co, MN. There are so many Briggs from RI that it is hard to sort them out. Has anyone come accross my Briggs in their research?
