Ben M. Angel notes: I inserted the Old Style (Julian Calendar) dates rather than New Style (Gregorian Calendar) dates. Normally, I would use NS, as it corresponds with the calendar in use today, but because almost all records are in Julian Calendar before 1752 within English-held territories, and because Geni hasn't yet a function for specifying calendars or converting OS to NS, I figured this would be easier to deal with (for now).

From Bill Putnam's genealogical information on John Piggott: http://www.billputman.com/THE%20PATTERSON%20FAMILY.htm

The family of John Piggott is fairly well documented, but the origins of this John Piggott are not.

Most people estimate that John Piggott was born about 1680 in England. There is a record of a Christopher Piggot and his wife Honor who were living in London and had a son named John Piggott born there in 1679. This may well be the same John Piggott of America.

There was a John Piggott who received a certificate from the Quaker Church in London to come to America and to marry Alice Raniers. This marriage was acknowledged in the minutes of the Philadelphia Monthly Meeting. No further mention is made of Alice.

It is possible that the John Piggott who married Alice Raniers is the same one who married Rebecca Hardiman on March 14, 1705, and later Margery Brown on January 9th, 1712/13 at Concord in Chester County Pennsylvania. This latter (or the same) John Piggott is the head of the early Quaker Family detailed in the minutes of the Nottingham Monthly Meeting on the border of Chester County Pennsylvania and Cecil County Maryland.

John Piggott lived and died in the vicinity of Concord in Chester County. He had two or possibly three wives and had seventeen children. The first four by his second (or possibly first) wife, Rebecca Hardiman and 13 by his last wife Marjorie Brown.

I have no information on Rebecca Hardiman other than she was probably born in Pennsylvania about 1684. She died in childbirth on July 26, 1711. The infant son died three weeks later on August 16, 1711.

Marjorie Brown was the daughter of James Brown and Honor Clayton. This addendum also includes brief histories of both the Brown and Clayton Families. Marjorie was born about 1690 in Marcus Hook, Delaware County Pennsylvania. She married John Piggott in Concord, Chester County Pennsylvania on January 18, 1712/13.

John Piggott died in Chester County Pennsylvania on January 29, 1738. Marjorie Piggott died there two (?) weeks earlier on December 24, 1737.

---

The following is what I know about the four children of John Piggott and Rebecca Hardiman. All the children were born in Chester County Pennsylvania and their births were recorded in the minutes of the New Garden Monthly Meeting.

1. Mary Piggott: Mary Piggott was born on February 6, 1706. She married Thomas Williams in 1737. I have no other information.

2. Rebecca Piggott: Rebecca was born on October 1, 1707. She remained unmarried and died at the age of twenty two on February 17, 1729.

3. Hannah Piggott :Hannah was born on August 14, 1707. She married Samuel White in Nottingham on December 1, 1725. I have no other information.

4. Unnamed Son Piggott; This boy was born and his mother died in his childbirth. He lived only another three weeks and died in Chester County on August 16, 1711.

The following is what I know about the children of John Piggott and Marjorie Brown Piggott. All of these children were born in Cecil County Maryland and their births were recorded in the minutes of the Nottingham Monthly Meeting in Chester County Pennsylvania (actually located in Maryland, though claimed by Pennsylvania) where this Quaker family attended Church. (List with abridged biographies follow.)

2. Margery Piggott: Marjorie, the first of that name, was born on August 30, 1715. Marjorie died on March 8, 1728/9. There was a second Marjorie born in 1734.

3. John Piggott: John was born April 18th, 1717. He married Rachel Reynolds on December 25, 1737 in Nottingham. I think he then went to Loudon County Virginia and attended the Goose Creek Meeting. He died on March 4, 1743/4.

4. Samuel Piggott: Samuel was born on August 11, 1718. He married Rebecca Bowen on June 8, 1744. He died on January 19, 1749/50. He moved to the New Garden Meeting in North Carolina.

5. Elizabeth Piggott: Elizabeth was born July 10, 1720. She married John Crumpton. She died on July 18, 1748.

6. Abigail Piggott: Abigail was born on January 30, 1721/2. She married out of union' and was dismissed by the Church at Nottingham on June 21, 1740.

7. Susannah Piggott: Susannah was born on March 13, 1723/4. She married Richard Kemp on January 29, 1746/7. She moved to the Hopewell, Virginia Monthly Meeting on August 17, 1745 and lived in Louden County. Hopewell Meeting closed and she was transferred to the Fairfax, Virginia Meeting on September 25, 1745. She died on September 11, 1781.

8. Jeremiah Piggott: Jeremiah was born on October 26, 1725 and died a month or two after his birth.

9. William Piggott: William Piggott was born on August 8, 1726. He was dismissed by the Nottingham Monthly Meeting on February 18, 1748/9 for he hath lately left these parts in a very dishonorable manner, without he knowledge of his creditors, to the scandal of truth and friends.' He skipped town. He married Sarah Pike in 1750 and died March 1, 1770.

10. Jeremiah Piggott: This second Jeremiah was born on October 26, 1730. He moved to the Cane Creek Monthly Meeting in Orange County North Carolina on December 21, 1752. There he was married to Rachel Mayner on May 22, 1765. He died in North Carolina on November 3, 1778.

11. Benjamin Piggott: Benjamin Piggott was born on November 29, 1732. He went to the Cane Creek Meeting in North Carolina on August 17, 1754. He then married Mary Hadley there in 1757. He died April 26, 1818.

12. Margery Piggott: This second child named Margery was born on February 20, 1734/5. She also went to Cane Creek in 1753. I have no other information on this Margery.

13. Unnamed Son Piggott: There was also one other son that was not named. He was born on October 26, 1734 and died less than a week later on November 1st.

At the October 17, 1730 O.S.
