Thanks Peggy, it has been a while since I looked at the Pigg family. I have a great lot of data on an old file that I have not added, as it all needs to be verified. This sparked my interest and I did add some more to that family. There is one mistake that probably is just a typo, Nancy Pigg married James McWherter on 4 Jun 1804 rather that 1884. His name is also spelled McWhorter in some files.
