<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Susan Briggs, post: 2167581, member: 15055&quot;]To add a little history on the name Briggs, There were two Briggs that arrived in Boston about 1630, both from England. They may have been related but much further back in England than I’ve found. From these two men came all other Briggs in the US it is told. One founded Portsmouth RI with 27 other Bostonians who left mostly due to religious reasons, My ancestor,&nbsp; John Briggs. Ancestors are found in Little Compton, Westport and Dartmouth. This line is also associated with Lizzy Borden and the Cornell’s. Anyway,&nbsp; I am researching to see if there is a relation to this Richard Briggs, Glass and Pottery Merchant in Boston in 1890’s. It’s a common name in both families unfortunately. The other Briggs left Boston for Plymouth and Cape Cod. The other Briggs are generally from this family line.</p><p>Any info you have about Richard would be welcomed. Birth and death, residence etc.</p><p>Richard Briggs Company was also on Washington St. Boston in the late 1800’s.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
