There was Mary Dwiggins who transferred her membership from New Garden MM in Guilford Co, NC to Whitewater MM, Wayne Co, IN in 1812. Is this part of your family? If she was married, it would appear that his husband was not a member. There were a few other mentions of the name Dwiggins in the Quaker records (Hinshaw's EAQG) in NC and Ohio, but the others were mostly in the late 1800's. Joyce Joyce Overman Bowman Indianapolis, IN
