Judy, John O'Brien's list of Warren cemeteries at http://www.wcchc.org/cemetery.htm does, in fact show the Wiggins Cemetery Vienna, Independence Township, location unknown. He says that Snell's History of Sussex and Warren Counties shows only one grave, that of G. Wiggins, died 1742. Jan Reuther http://www.
