1. | Siggins, Edward was born in Unknown in Balla, Mayo, Ireland (son of Siggins, Richard and Sinot, Margaret); died in Unknown. Notes:
Inherited the lands of his father after the death of his brother Philip.
Edward Siggins was attainted of high treason for participation in the
rebellion of 1641, and was transplanted to county Mayo, 1654, where he had
a grant (in lieu of this Wexford estates, which were confiscated) of the
lands of Shanvallymore, Rathredmond and Lissawollhan in the parish of
Balla. He filed a bill in Chancery, June 11, 1690, for the recovery of
the Wexford estates, but apparently did not succeed in recovering them.
