Note From "The Whitney Family of Connecticut" by S. Whitney Phoenix. Page 49: Miles Riggs, b. in Norwalk, Conn., married Patty Bull, of Harwinton, Conn., who was born in 1750. They settled in 1772, in the south-east corner of the town of Norfolk, Litchfield Co., Conn., on a farm which is still, in 1875, owned and occupied by his descendants. He was, at three different times, in the service of his country, in the Revolutionary War, and each time honorably discharged. The family tradition says that once, on coming home from the army, he found two of his three children lying dead in the house, and his wife so ill that she died before the next morning; but the tradition has failed to preserve the date, or the names of the children. He married (2d), Abigail Cowles, widow of Eden Mills. She died at their home Norfolk, 12 Nov. 1833. He died there, 20 Sept.1836. They were buried in the South End Cemetery, in Norfolk. He was at White Plains, and also at the capture of Burgoyne.
