•The Wigginton family history was first published in 1958 by Missouri congressman Clarence Cannon in a manuscript entitled "The Wigginton Book". Rep. Cannon was married to Ida Dawson Wigginton, the great-great granddaughter of Henry Wigginton and Nancy Anne Vallandingham. On page 17 Cannon writes:

"[Henry Wigginton] was married in Montgomery County, Maryland by Rev. Joseph Theodried to Anne Vallandigham...daughter of Michael Van Landigham and Ann Dawson; granddaughter of Michael Van Landigham and Jane. Michael Van Landigham and Jane, his wife, were both natives of French Flanders new Courtiers. They came to America in 1690 and settled in Stafford County, Virginia. Later they moved to Northumberland County between the Rappahannock and Chesapeake Bay. Their son Michael moved to Fairfax County where he married Anna Dawson. It was about this time that the family name was changed from Van Landigham to Vallandigham. Michael and Anne had five children, three sons and two daughters. Anne Dawson was born in Fairfax County, Virginia and died and is buried in Bourbon County, Kentucky beside her husband."

CORRECTION: Nancy Ann Vallandingham is the granddaughter of Michael Vallandigham and Anne Dawson.
