  • Name Catherine Dugan 
    • Some online trees have her surname as "Heblam." I have not found any families by that name in Pennsylvania around 1820. May be a misreading. Daughter Hannah (Rigg) Fields' death certificate (1926, Knox County, Illinois) has her father as "Resin Riggs" and mother unknown. An 5 May 1894 notice in The Democrat-Message (Mount Sterling, Illinois) has "Catherine Dugan". [1]
