Alexander Colten Wiggins of Wisconsin June 20, 1884 letter (he is a grandson)

Jacob Wiggins is the father of William Wiggins who was the father of Alexander C. Wiggins. My grandfather (Jacob) removed from 5 miles west of Newburgh on the Hudson to the mountain 12 miles west of Goshen in 1796 with his family of 4 sons and 4 daughters upon a farm of 300 acres of land. My father, Wm Wiggins, the oldest son, myself the oldest grandson. Grandfather died in 1801, age 70 years(1731-1801), and grandmother Agnes Nichols Wiggins, age 84 yrs, died about 18 years after (1735-1819). Many of the Wiggins family are at this date (1886) residents of Orange Co., NY. My father (Wm) had 6 sons and 2 daughters. A part of the homestead …the mountain is at this date, 1884, possessed by james Wiggins, son of Stephen Wiggins….

I can go no further than I know there was a Wiggins called Samuel that has on a farm above Newburgh that I believed was a brother to my grandfather, Jacob Wiggins, and the father of Mrs Richard Berrian that lady spent 2 or 3 summers at my fathers. A first cousin I have always considered her to be, this Benjamin Wiggins who bought for 30 pounds and sold to his son Stephen for 30 pounds Mary 8th, 1751, old Benjamin and old Stephen Wiggins I never personally knew.
