DR. CASWELL C. RIGGS was born January 13, 1839, at Morristown, Hamblen 
County, Tenn., where he was reared to manhood, and in 1860 removed to 
Monroe County, Ky., where he has since resided. His father, Samuel 
Riggs, also a native of Hamblen County, died there August 4, 1859, at 
the age of fifty-six years.  He was the son of Clisbe Riggs, who was 
born in North Carolina; located in pioneer times in east Tennessee, 
where he was a large land owner and slave holder; and he died 1845. 
Samuel Riggs married Elizabeth, daughter of William and Tabitha Cheny, 
of Morristown (died in 1862, aged fifty-six years), and from their union 
sprang Ellis, Phebe, Newton and Owen, Adeline (deceased), Clisbe, Jane 
(Felknor), William, Dr. C. C., James, John W., and Samuel H.  Dr. Riggs 
received his early education at the common schools of the vicinity in 
which he lived, after which he attended the academy in Morristown, since 
which time he has always been a close student.  He married, May 21, 
1884, Sarah L., daughter of Thomas and Mary (Meador) Jones, of Macon 
County, Tenn. (born July 18, 1860); and to them has been born one son, 
Julius Magnus. In 1861 he commenced the study of medicine, at Flippin, 
Ky., with Drs. Brockett & Clements, with whom he remained four years.  
In 1865 he began to practice at that place, and in 1871 he located at 
Gamaliel.  In 1874 he attended lectures at the University of Louisville, 
from which he graduated in 1875; since which time he has been 
successfully engaged in the practice of his profession. Dr. Riggs has 
ever been compelled to rely upon his own efforts for success in life.  
He is not connected with any Christian denomination, but is partial to 
the Baptist Church.  In politics he is identified with the Republican 
party.
