Hi List, I found the following short biography on Linkpendium Piggott Surname: Genealogy and Family History http://www.linkpendium.com/genealogy/USA/sur/surc-P/surc-Pig/sur-Piggott/ PIGGOTT, R.H., P.O. Avon; Painter; settled here in 1865, born in London, Eng., Oct. 22, 1838; son of Redman Piggott, born in Kerry Co., Ireland, and Ann Condon, native of Ireland. Married Sept. 26, 1870, to Espey Woods; three children--William S., Maud May and Laura Ann. My preliminary research indicates that Redmond PIGGOTT had a "full life" before emigrating to the US. There is much contradictory and speculative data available.
