Classification: Query
Surnames: RIGGS, BREESE
In the (U.S.A.) Breese family genealogies, Dorothy Riggs is listed as the wife of John Breese, both buried in Basking Ridge, NJ. Dorothy's parents are given as Edward Riggs and Aphia Stoughton, both of Newark/Basking Ridge, NJ. Edward is shown as the great grandson of the Edward Riggs who moved from England to Roxbury, MA in the 1600s.
In the on-line Riggs Surname Study, which seems to be extremely well researched and documented, Edward and Aphia do not have a daughter named Dorothy. Their last child born in Basking Ridge is David, b. 1709.
Can anyone help with the mysterious Dorothy? Is she an Edward of Roxbury descendant? Thank you very much.
