p. 139 Littleton Riggins and Agrippa Atkinson settled on Mulberry Creek some time before 1820.

p. 18 Among the younger settlers of Bibb county were James Atchison, William Riggins, and Enoch Hayes. All of these settlers (and the olders ones) were mainly from Georgia in Hanesch, Greene, Elbert, Twiggs, and Gwinnet counties, and from the Edgefield district of South Carolina.
