Hi List, Well, it look like I stumbled upon another Irish PIGOTT who made a significant contribution to the country. Here is a link to a history of William PIGOTT. His son, Paul PIGOTT succeeded him in business, which apparently passed down to his grandson Mark C PIGOTT. http://www.historylink.org/essays/output.cfm?file_id=3177 Enjoy!
