Reprinted by Genealogical Publishing Co., Baltimore, 1983. Family Tree Maker's disk Passenger and Immigration Lists Index, 1538-1940 describes this series as a record of 20,000 very early immigrants, with much relevant information. Taken from Patent Books 1 through 5. Title page states "In 5 volumes", but up to 1979 only three had appeared. See nos. 6221 and 6223 for second and third volumes, published in 1977 and 1979. Issued originally by Nugent in parts between 1929 and 1931; the parts were then largely incorporated in this work, indexed by Family Tree Maker as no. 6220.

The 1907 accident in Grantham, Lincs. which she was killed is described in a chapter, Disaster on Somerby Hill, in the book Lincolnshire Headlines

A horse bolted, taking the wagon it was pulling away at high speed. The only male passenger fell out of the front of the waggon and went beneath its wheels. The women in the waggon began to panic. There was a door at the back and, despite the frantic pace at which the maddened horse was now galloping, Miss Florence Piggins leapt out into the road. The 47-year-old housekeeper, who had been staying at Humby for a few months, hit the metalled road surface with a fearful crash and rolled over three times. She was killed instantly. With three people dead an inquest had to be held. A verdict of accidental death was returned by the district coroner. (pp 58-60)

Jane PIGGIN 1612 WAR BOOK

founder of Piggin's Charity

Mrs. Jane Piggin or Picken, by will dated 1612, bequeathed £13 6s. 8d. to the corporation [of Warwick] from which £1 was to be paid yearly to the vicar and churchwardens of Holy Trinity parish and distributed among poor parishioners. In the 19th century this payment was regularly received and 4d. apiece was distributed among 60 poor people at Christmas. ... In 1906, because of the difficulty already experienced in the parish in finding recipients for parish and municipal bread charities, application was made for the establishment of a Scheme.

This in its final form directed that part of Baron's Charity and Cockesonne's, Elkington's, Godfrey's, Jesson's, Piggin's, Yardley's, and Younge's charities should be administered by the churchwardens under the title of the Holy Trinity United Charities. Apart from Godfrey's Charity, which was to be spent on clothing for a poor boy living in the parish, the incomes of the rest were to be applied to the benefit of the parish poor (with preference in the case of Baron's Charity for residents of New Street and West Orchard and in the case of Younge's Charity for residents in West Orchard) in the form of clothes, fuel, tools, medical aid and other necessaries, or temporary financial relief. The total income of £31 12s. was being duly received and applied in 1964.

passenger arriving on ship in San Francisco

See page 197 of RASMUSSEN, Louis J.: San Francisco Ship Passenger Lists, Coloma, CA, the author. Vol. 2, 1966. 384p. 2nd printing, 1969. Covers April 6, 1850-November 4, 1851. Contains Names of passengers arriving through the port of the San Francisco in mid-nineteenth century. San Francisco was the main port of entry in settlement of the West, and it is probable that many immigrants had already landed at New York and then taken ship to San Francisco, particularly in the Gold Rush days. Passengers came from all over the world, and vessels often called in other ports en route, embarking extra passengers. San Francisco ship passenger lists were formerly printed in the San Francisco Genealogical Bulletin (later San Francisco Historic Record and Genealogy Bulletin), 1963-1965. See nos. 7875-7891.

Robert PYGIN 1593 NTT

witness to the Elizabethan feud between Sir Thomas Stanhope of Shelford and the 7th Earl of Shrewsbury.

According to the book Sir Thomas Stanhope of Shelford: local life in Elizabethan times, eds. Beryl Cobbing and Pamela Priestland [Radcliffe-on-Trent, Local History Society, 2004], Stanhope (c.1540-1596) was an ambitious and confrontational Midlands landowner. The climax of his quarrel with Shrewsbury came at Easter 1593 when the earl's tenants and servants attacked Sir Thomas's weir on the River Trent at Shelford.

The flyer for this publication is at www.nottshistory.org.uk and the book was for a time noticed at: http://www.rushcliffe.gov.uk/democracy/ members_matters/2004/march.htm

We have not delved further into this, but the Derbyshire Record Office notes that Michael Stanhope (son of John Stanhope of Shelford, Nottinghamshire) had acquired Elvaston among former monastic lands at the time of the Dissolution of the Monasteries (i.e. about 1540), so we assume that the Elvaston and Shelford squires were cousins. It is conceivable that Robert Piggin was an Elvaston man in employment with the Stanhope family, or perhaps a Codnor man allied with an opponent of Stanhope, the Zouches of Codnor.

It is said that although the use of the stocks has become obsolete, some offences are still punishable by the offenders being placed in the stocks. Tradition says that Bob Piggin, a wheelwright, made the last stocks, about 1825, and was their first occupant."

unnamed PIGGEN 1649 GB

A soldier in Cromwell's army who led a 1649 revolt against its officers is mentioned in a history of the Levellers. A plaque erected to him in Oxford further states that he was executed at Burford on 1649/09/18. His first name is not given.

... Captain Jones... took copies [of a tract] to Colonel Ingoldsby's regiment of foot at Oxford, where it was distributed by Sergeant John Radman, a Leveller... The men of the regiment, joined by some from Colonel Tomlinson's horse to the number of perhaps 800 to 900, demonstrated against deductions from their arrears for quarter and against the payment of arrears by debentures. They then mutinied, capturing some of their officers and fortifying themselves in New College. They demanded the reconstitution of the General Council of the Army and the implementation of the Agreement of the People published by 'our four friends in the Tower'. They hoped for, but did not obtain, help from the Bristol garrison, and they were overpowered by others of their officers before the reinforcements arrived from London. The leaders were court-martialled, and two of them (Biggs and Piggen) were shot. The Leveller leadership renounced these acts of mutiny and violence...
