      Rigulo, Frederick Lunenburg Town Lunenburg Lunenburg 1792 £ 0 5 0 049

      Both Frederic Rigoulots were members of Zion Lutheran Church in Lunenburg.
      Friedrich Rigulo "Mueller" (miller) gave a very small donation towards building the church (1770-71); signed Membership roll 1775; and appears in church account book 1777-85 (Source- Bell)

      Friedrich Regilo "Metzger" (butcher) made money & other donations towards building the church (1770-71)(Source- Bell)

      Winthrop Bell- apprenticeship records suggests that the miller Frederick was Vernier's son-and the fact that baptism sponsors for Elisabeth & Suzanne Rigoulot's grandchildren included Nicholas Rigulo and Lucy (Silber) Rigulo tends to support that conclusion. Parentage confirmed by deed to Philip Koch abstracted below.
