This looks a lot like the John Quigg you're looking for..but, wife not Elizabeth, though the date is awfully close to the one you give. (this is from the Del Co probate court.)...and, it doesn't list any children, which is unusual if there are any. He left everything to his wife. I looked for a will for Fanny, but no luck. This is the only Quigg will for the area up to and including 1825. No mention of an Elizabeth in any will, in any way,.....wife, child, heir, witness, etc. I believe I already sent you the Root will, didn't I? ...and everything I could find on Christian Moyer. There are wills for Sebastian 1793, John 1799, Joseph (the one I sent you), Samuel 1805 and a Samuel 1809....all these in Chester, and quite a few seem to be interrelated....mentions of some in the will of another, etc. If these names sound possible, I'll send you the wills. I also see that there are a lot of Roots in Bucks Co, which might be something to keep in mind. Longaker, Longacre, Longeger, Longenacre, and Longnecker are all somewhat interchangeable, so you can see why given names are so important. The Longacre family was Swedish, and lived in the settlement of New Sweden. The first Longacre arrived in, if memory serves, about 1640, so they've been around for a long time, with many descendants. There are probably 35 or 40 Rhoades/Rhoads in the HISTORY OF CHESTER CO, and a good many Halderman/Haldeman names, too. QUIGG, JOHN, Ridley. June 10, 1816 - July 3, 1816. Estate to wife Fanny, she to be sole executor. Exrs: Wife Fanny. Wits: James MADDOCK and J. H. TERRILL. #468. We're glad you decided to join us but we really need a few given names to go with all those surnames. You'll find, I think, that the chances are better for help from strangers with resources than finding someone actually related and familiar with these folks.There are a good many people on the list that are very knowledgable and helpful, but will need more than a century and surname to go with. I found a John B. Quigg who was the parson of the Hibernia Methodist Church, 1859-1860....Quigg is not a usual name for Chester so odds are, he's related somehow.. If he doesn't fit now, stick the info somewhere and keep it...he may 'fit' later. A James Quigg was on the roll of Capt John Holmes' Co, War of 1812. These 2 are the only memtions of Quigg in THE HISTORY OF CHESTER COUNTY.....ditto for this Quigg.. ?As Schantz is an unusual name, I checked the wills and the only ones that showed up are the following ones, in Lancaster Co. There are also a few in Montg. Co, and will send them to you if you thing that is a possibility. There is nothing for the srname in the wills of Chester or Del Cos. ?April 26, 1776 May 25, 1776SHANTZ, CHRISTIANMother: Barbara Shantz. Step-father: John Nictig.Ex. John Nictig.

Twp. omitted Hope you find something of interest in the above....good luck. Sandra " I am interested in corresponding & exchanging info on the QUIGG, RHOADS, LONGACRE, MOYER, HALDEMAN, ROOT & SHANTZ families of Chester County - late 1700s & 1800s. My current research goal is to determine the maiden name of John Quigg"s wife Elizabeth. John was born about 1775; & died about May 1815 in Coventry Twp.Elizabeth possibly born about 1775-1780; & died after 1820. She was recorded as head of household in 1820 Coventy census. And married Christian Moyer in Dec 1820 at Zion Lutheran Church. Elizabeth's maiden name may be Rhoads or Longacre.
