Hello all! I haven't posted anything for awhile. This SAMUEL PIGGOTT is related to my line. FROM Nottingham Births & Deaths, Marriages Minutes of the Quaker Church: Samuel PIGGOTT, son of John PIGGOTT and Margery (Brown(e)), his Wife, was born the 11th of ye 6th mo.1718, about 8 in ye morning. Samuel PIGGOTT and Rebecca BOWEN married 1744. They are believed to have had three children, A son John moved to Fairfax Meeting, Virginia, where many descendants still live. For the most part they continue to use the old spelling PIGGOTT. Samuel PIGGOTT, son of John PIGGOTT and Margery, his wife Departed_this_life_the_l9th, llth_Mo.1749/50. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Samuel actually lived in Maryland. I do not have the date when John PIGGOTT Sr., Samuel's father, moved to Maryland, but it must have been soon as he was acting as Overseer at Nottingham in 1718. This was on what later became the Mason-Dixon Line and ownership was continually in dispute. Lots of this survey first were claimed by Pennsylvania, but later fell into Maryland. The meetings known as East Nottingham at Calvert, Maryland and West Nottingham near Colora, Maryland were in the survey but on that part which later became Maryland. East Nottingham after 1730 became the Monthly Meeting. John PIGGOTT Sr.* *must have always considered himself a Marylander, but lived close enough to worship at West Nottingham Monthly Meeting in Pennsylvania. It is interesting that the will of Samuel was executed in Pennsylvania... Perhaps part of the on going dispute. Further, here is mention of the will: "Samuel PIGGOTT, the fourth child of John and Margery, also lived and died a member at Nottingham. He did not marry until 1744,after the death of both his parents and older brother John Jr. He married Rebecca BOWEN, daughter of William BOWEN. We are certain of a son John, born about 1746 and there may have been a son Thomas and a daughter Mary. It seems certain that Samuel PIGGOTT purchased land in Loudoun County, Virginia, but it is unlikely that he ever lived on it. His son, John, deeded 250 acres of this land and recites that he is Heir at Law of Samuel PIGGOTT, deceased, owner of the said land. Samuel as shown above lived only unti1 19th 11th Mo.1749/50 and was a member at Nottingham when he died."
