  • Notes 
    • John and Sarah Siggins, the first American ancestor of the Pennsylvania
      Siggins Family. John was born in 1750, in County Sligo, Ireland. Died 1801
      on a farm called: "Spring Creek", two and one-half miles below "Old Center
      Furnace", Center County, Pennsylvania, of which he was a tenant, this farm
      was owned by Robert Whitehall. John married Sarah Hood about 1776 in
      County Sligo, Ireland. In April of 1793 they, with their five children
      emigrated to America, settling first near Philadelphia, from there to
      Centre County. After the death of John, his widow with her family moved
      to Youngsville, Warren County, Pennsylvania, where the widow died
      September 30, 1835, age 85 years. Soon after their marriage, both John
      and Sarah experienced religion through the instrumentality of the
      Methodist preaching and united with that church. Of Sarah Siggins the
      Rev. William Todd says: "Sister Siggins came to Youngsville in 1816 united
      with the Methodist Church of that place, and for more than fifty years she
      was a Methodist and walked consistently ---in every situation she was
      sustained, she was loved, her end was peace".
