From Bruce Varner's work:
Nancy Ann Varner (1841-1934) had four children, all of whom grew up with Nancy's maiden name Varner. Family members never openly spoke of why this was the case, and none of the long dead early descendants passed on any clues.
Therefore everyone who descends from any one of Nancy's four children falls into the same category. Nancy's four children were:
John Lawrence Varner (1866-1951)
William Owen Varner (1869-1937)
Eurelda Varner Newton (1871-1959)
Mary Varner Clemons Cove (1877-1956)
Y-DNA tests were conducted in 2012 by Bruce T. Varner (1951-), father Edwin Dale Varner, grandfather Bert Lonzo Varner, great-grandfather John Lawrence Varner, son of Nancy Ann Varner. This test revealed that genetically, John Lawrence Varner was fathered by a Riggs. Therefore all direct male to male descendants from John Lawrence carry Riggs Y-DNA.
Y-DNA tests were conducted in in 2013 by William Ray Varner (1943-), father Otto George Varner, grandfather William Owen Varner, son of Nancy Ann Varner. This second Y-DNA test revealed that genetically, William Owen Varner was also fathered by a Riggs.
Bruce T. Varner and William Ray Varner are a zero deviation Y-DNA match to each other.
Subsequent research into the Riggs families of Miller County, Missouri revealed that three brothers lived in Miller County during the same timeframe as Nancy.
Calvin Riggs (1810-1863)
Owen Riggs (1813-1875)
Edmund Riggs (1819-1877)
Since the completion of testing, evidence has proven that John Lawrence and William Owen were both fathered by a Riggs, one might assume that the two girls (Eurelda & Mary) could have been fathered by a Riggs also.
Since both Calvin and Owen Riggs were dead by the time the final daughter Mary was born, that leaves Edmund Riggs as the most likely father of the four.
Estate documents for Edmund Riggs proved that Nancy Varner worked for Edmund Riggs up until Edmund's time of death.
Antidotal evidence from family lore has long stated that Nancy Ann's parents, George and Harriet Varner were living "on the old Riggs place" when they were killed around the start of the Civil War.
Additional Y-DNA results surfaced from four descendants of James Riggs (1662-1744). These four James Riggs descendants showed close Y-DNA matches to Bruce & William Varner. The four Riggs descendants are:
Fredrick L. Riggs (1937-) [1 deviation]
Charles L. Riggs (1954-) [2 deviation]
Lawrence B. Riggs (1932-) [1 deviation]
Michael D. Riggs (1958-) [0 deviation]
Fredrick and Charles Riggs MRCA (Most Recent Common Ancestor) is William Riggs (1750-1833).
Lawrence and Michael, along with our Edmund Riggs MRCA is James Riggs (1742-1815).
Both William Riggs and James Riggs are two generations descended from the Riggs family patriarch James Riggs (1662-1744).
Edmund Riggs first marriage to Mary Ann Elizabeth Piles produced 11 Children, and then they seperated, which led to the Varner children out of wedlock.

Edmund married Nancy Ann VARNER in Not Married. Nancy (daughter of George Thomas VARNER and Harriet Nancy OWENS) was born on 27 Mar 1841 in Sedalia, Pettis County, Missouri; died on 22 Jul 1934 in Camden County, Missouri; was buried in Pleasant Grove Cemt., Camden Co., Missouri.

Transcription of text in Obituary for Edmund Riggs:
Riggs? February 15th, at his residence, foot of Long Reach, Pleasants county, W. Va., EDMUND RIGGS, in the ninety-third years of his age.

Mr. Riggs was born in 1783, in Bedford county, Pa. He came in October, 1799, to the Ohio with his father, who settled in what is now Washington county, Ohio. This region was then literally a "howling wilderness." He has killed eighteen panthers, and bears and wolves without number. In 1815 he came to his late place of residence, then Ohio county, Virginia. Of his eleven children only four survive him. He was a man of the strictest integrity, and was universally respected.

Grape Island, W. Va., Feb. 16, 1876

Edmund married Elizabeth Susannah ROBY in Feb 1806 in Hagerstown, Washington, Maryland. Elizabeth (daughter of Otha Owen ROBEY and Susannah BARTHOLOW) was born on 22 Apr 1788 in Washington County, Maryland; died on 11 Jan 1857 in Tyler, West Virginia. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

JAMES RIGGS (son of EDMUND RIGGS and Mary Brook(e)(s))19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24 was born September 17, 1742 in Rock Creek, Montgomery Co, MD, and died February 27, 1815 in New Matamoras, Ohio25, 26, 27.He married Mary Johnson on 1773, daughter of Benjamin Johnson.
Notes for JAMES RIGGS:
James served in REvolutionary War from Pennsylvania.He was a Justice of the Peace in Washington Co, Ohio.
His will was probated at Marietta, Washington Co, Ohio on Dec 1, 1815 in Book 1, page 281
REVOLUTION VET
FIRST TO SETTLE
MATAMORAS AREA
by Diana McMahan
Matamoras, Ohio - The first man to settle and build a cabin on the site of the Matamoras was a Revolutionary War veteran. Fort nine years before there was a town here, JAMES RIGGS came with all of his family and two sons-in-law and their families, and made claim to all the land which now encompasses Matamoras, and the territory south and west of town.
Riggs took for his farm the parcel of land which now encompasses Matamoras, going back to the hill, 200 acres in all. His son-in-law, MARTIN SHEETS, took 200 acres of rich river bottom land south of the town. His second son-in-law, ANTHONY SHEETS, took an area partially hilly along cemetery road, and coming to a point behind GARY BRADY'S back yard on Second Street.
INDIAN TERRITORY
JAMES RIGGS had served as a private in LT. ROSE'S RANGE COMPANY out of Bedford County, Pennsylvania during the Revolutionary War. Accustomed to hardship and well acquainted to the Indian ways, he was wary in the new Ohio county. The stories of Indiana massacres were common, and were usually more truth than rumor. So the small RIGGS party, having come down the Ohio River on a flat boat, took precautions against hostile indians in the Ohio County and camped on the Virginia (now West Virginia) side of the river. Each day they crossed over into Ohio and worked on their cabin, and cleared land for the cornfields.
The log cabin they built was the first house in what is now known as Matamoras. Although the forest extended clear to the river's edge, the RIGGS log cabin was built on what now is Front Street in Matamoras. In later years, it was covered with clapboards, and finally torer down about 1920. Those remembering it being tore down remember the huge logs that made up the orginal cabin.
RIGGS FAMILY
JAMES RIGGS was born Sept 15, 1742 at Rock Creek, Montgomery County, MD, a son of EDMOND AND MARY BROOKS RIGGS. James married MARY JOHNSON, also of Montgomery County. Most of their children, excepting those who died in Pennsylvania, came to settle in the northeastern section of Washington County, Ohio or across the river in Tyler and Pleasants Counties of West Virginia.
Riggs children were: BASIL, who married MARY ROBY and gave Raven Rock, West Virginia it's name; HEZEKIAH , of whom there is no further record; SAMUEL, married ELIZABETH ROSS; JOHN, married SARAH WILSON; EDMOND who married ELIZABETH ROBY, a sister of Basils's wife; EMAXIE, who married ANTHONY SHEETS; POLLY; PRISCILLA, who married MARTIN SHEETS; MARY who married BENJAMIN RIDGEWAY; RUTH, died in Pennsylvania at age 19; JANE, married MOSES WILLIAMSON; and MALINDA died in infancy.
Priscilla Riggs Sheet, Martins wife, was the first death in the new grandview Township colony. She died in 1801. (Martun's second wife was SARAH COLLINS.) Priscilla was buried in the orginal Matamoras cemetery, which took in the lots now lived on by Helen Edwards, Mr and Mrs Elwood Hossman, and the Legion Hall Ground, as well as running under Front Street. The early settlers had procratinated and up until the time of the first death, there was no cemetery. So James and James Williams, a newcomer, each gave half of the already cleared land, which they called "the first burying ground".
SHEETS FAMILY
JAMES RIGG'S seond son-in-law, ANTHONY SHEETS , was Martin's brother. He and his wife, Emaxie Riggs, lived out their lifetimes in Matamoras and raised a large family. There children were: NANCY, married BENJAMIN FORT and lived in Indiana; MARTIN, who married NANCY LOVE and died in Indiana (his wife and children returned); POLLY, married JOHN TALBOR, and lived in Indiana; JOHN who died at seas unmarried; RUTH married ISAAC PARR; HENRY who married REBECCA PARR and helped plat Matamoras; MELINDA who married JESSE PARR; and AXIE (also called Achsah and Emaxie) who married WARREN WELLS.
Anthony Sheets and his wife, and Martin Sheets and his second wife, Sarah Collins, are buried in the Old Sheets - Cline cemetery in Matamoras.
JAMES RIGGS died Feb 22, 1815 and is the only Revolutionary War soldier (known) buried in the Matamoras Cemetery on the hill, overlooking the town. He was first buried in the orignal Matamoras cemetery on Front Street with other family members. However, when the old cemetery was disbanded, the family moved all the Riggs graves to the new cemetery on the hill. Riggs's can be seen next to that of his wife Mary Johnson Riggs, who died in 181, that of his daughter Pricilla Riggs Sheets, his grandson Lorenzo Dow Sheets (infant of James Rigg's son, Edmond) and another child's stone too shaled to read.
FAMILY TRADITION
JAMES RIGGS was not the first of his family to open new territory. His great grandfather EDWARD RIGGS , came to America in 1633 and was a sergeant in the PEQUOT INDIAN WAR in 1637.
SERGEANT RIGGS, protected WHALEY and GOFF, two of the English Parliment who had condemmed and executed CHARLES I, and subsequently received a large land grant in New Jersey. He eventually founded the city of Newark, New Jersey., and James Riggs' great - grandmother, Sergeant Riggs's wife,was the first white woman to spend the summer in Newark.
From the Pennsylvania Historical and Musuem Comission - This is to certify that, that under Militia Loan of 1 April 1784, a certificate of public debt, number 15087, in the amount of f2.9.0, was issued in the name of JAMES RIGGS, for a tour of active duty in the Bedford County Militia, which he performed from 5 October to 19 October 1782 as a member of Lieutenant Edward Rose's Company.
