Descendants of John Piggin % Alice --- + 1591 Elvaston Will
Richard ? % Johanna Sharp 1575 Egginton ? + 1639 Elvaston ("very aged") William's 1621 will speaks of "my brother Richard Piggin and William Piggin his son" The trust deed of 1622 speaks of "Richard Piggen of Thurleston, yeoman" Richard's own will signed 1639	Richard year of birth unknown, but presumably about 1580 % Emat Bennett, 1608: six children christened in Heanor church near Loscoe The 1621 will of William refers to "my kinsman Richard Piggin, son of my brother Richard Piggin", and also makes provision for the junior Richard's under-aged children. The 1622 trust deed refers to "Richard Piggen of Loscoe, yeoman, and son Thomas". Richard is similarly stated in the 1639 will of his father to be occupying land in Loscoe.

		John Possibly the person meant by the following confusing formulation in the 1621 will of William Piggin: "my kinsman John Piggin brother of the sonne of my said brother Richard Piggin". The 1622 trust deed refers to "John Piggen of Ashton, miller and skinner of London".
		Elizabeth
		Anne
		Sarah
	?Margaret % Robert Cowley
	Thomas In 1621 will of William Piggin, referred to as "my kinsman Thomas Piggin another of the sonnes of my said brother Richard Piggin".	Elias (see Crich tree) Perhaps the person named in the 1622 William Piggin trust deed as "Ellis, son of Thomas Piggen"
		Frances
Ellen * 1585, Heanor ("Heller"): this is presumed to be John's daughter, and not a child of Oliver of Codnor, since Oliver was dead by 1578 and his son John was not yet old enough to beget children in 1585. A birth at Loscoe, perhaps the homeplace of the mother, is plausible, given Elvaston Piggin connections there later. % Robert Tote, alias Jennings	Elizabeth Newballe, "my sister Ellen's daughter" (1621 will of William Piggin)
	John Jennings (1621 will of William Piggin mentions "my two kinsmen John Jennings and Robert Jennings, sons of my said sister Ellen")
	Robert Jennings (1621 will of William Piggin mentions "my two kinsmen John Jennings and Robert Jennings, sons of my said sister Ellen")
	Thomas Dolman (?) (1621 will of William Piggin terms him "my kinsman and son of my sister Ellen and nonce the apprentice of Mr Currey hatmaker" in Bailey, London)
	Ann % William Coxe The 1621 will of William Piggin terms him "dyer who married my kinswoman Anne daughter to my said sister Ellen" and again as the father of "his two children Henry Coxe and Anne Coxe". The 1622 trust deed refers to him as "William Cox, citizen and dyer of London".	Henry Cox The 1622 trust deed refers to him
		Ann Cox
William, the London plasterer * year unknown, in Bredsan [Breaston?], Derbyshire % --- (he mentions her burial place but not her name in his will) + 1621/06/05 London
Elias (= the London plasterer?) The 1621 will of William Piggin names "my lovinge brother Ellis Piggin cittizen and playsterer of London" The 1622 land trust speaks of "Ellis Piggen of London, plasterer"
Katherine
Thomas ?+ 1625 Elvaston Inventory of his estate extant The 1621 will of William Piggin leaves £100 to "my brother Thomas Piggin" spread over 10 years, and it is plausible to suppose this was a kind of pension for an elderly man. The 1622 trust deed refers to "Thomas Piggen of London, plasterer", but it is not clear if the brother or nephew is meant.	Mary The 1621 will of William Piggin leaves money to "my kinswoman Mary Piggin daughter of my brother Thomas Piggin", indicating she was unmarried at that point.
Mary
Ann % --- Wray the 1621 will of William refers to (unmarried) "Barbara Wray my kinswoman, daughter to my sister Ann Wray" and again to "Tabitha and Barbara her daughters" the 1639 will of John refers to a daughter Ann There are grounds for confusion here, as there is also the following record for an Ann: % Michael Hallam 1591 Sandiacre	Barbara Wray she was an illiterate witness to the 1621 signature of William's will and was also a major beneficiary: identified there as the daughter of Barbara Wray
	Tabitha Wray named as beneficiary in William Piggin will of 1621
Marie * 1585, Heanor: presumed to be John's daughter born at Loscoe, and not a child of Oliver of Codnor, since Oliver was dead by 1578 and his son John was not yet old enough to beget children in 1585
