All of my paternal g grandparents were born in AL. At least two were positively born in Monroe Co. and the other two probably were, although one family was just passing through. Stephen WIGGINS, son of Stephen (son of William and Elizabeth (COOPER) WIGGINS) and Nancy Annie? (THAMES) WIGGINS was b. 14 Feb 1823 in Monroe Co. He married Elizabeth Catherine MARION, b. 15 Jan 1820 in Monroe Co., dtr. of Peter and Margaret (WALLACE?) MARION on 28 May 1846 in Monroe Co. John Jonathan GILL, son of John Marshall and Margaret C. (??) GILL was b. Aug 1847 in AL. He married Mary A. WALKER, b. May 1849 in AL, dtr. of John A. and Francis Adaline (??) WALKER. The WIGGINS family was in Monroe Co., AL from 1818, the MARION family from 1818, the GILL family from at least 1830 and the WALKER family was somewhere in AL after 1847and before 1849. All except WIGGINS came from SC, at least two from Chester Co., SC. All were in Leake Co., MS by the time of the 1850 census and lived near one another. Stephens parents were the only gg grandparents who stayed in AL. Does anyone have ANY other information on these families or why they seem to be tied together? Margie Wiggins Jackson
