Edward Riggs married (2) Roxbury 5 April 1635 Elizabeth Roosa. She died at Roxbury 2 September 1669. There were no children of this marriage.
Savage suggests that Riggs had two daughters who lived to marry, but this apparently assumes that grandchild Elizabeth Allen was born an Allen, when in fact she was a Twitchell who married William Allen of Medfield. The name "Hanp" given to one of his Twitchell grandchildren by Riggs in his will is an error created by the person who transcribed the will in the nineteenth century; the correct name could be determined by examining the original of the record book or investigating the Twitchell family. The death date for the first wife of the immigrant or the marriage date to the second must be wrong. In 1959 Donald Lines Jacobus argued differently, making Elizabeth Roosa the wife of the son of the immigrant: "Nothing whatever is known of Edward's wife or of any Roosa family, and the surname may be a misreading. Edward's mother died October 1635, and his father thereafter acquired a second wife Elizabeth; if the dates are misstated, the Roosa marriage could belong to the father, and one printed source so states the matter. However, we have to accept the dates as reported unless they can be proved wrong. Edward Jr. must have married about this time, and he left a widow named Elizabeth, so we follow the generally accepted account and believe it to be correct"

The Elizabeth was Elizabeth Roosa. She was born about 1591. She was the second wife of Edward Riggs who was baptized 5 March 1589 and died about March of 1671/72. They did not have any children.
Edward Riggs second wife, Elizabeth (his first wife being Elizabeth Holmes) maiden name is Roosa. For extended research and proof of her maiden name and the more accurate date of death of his first wife. Elizabeth Homes (date of death should be October, 1634 as you will read).
