    • Sources of Information:
      1. Notebooks of Naoma Manwaring Harker and Mark Whiting.
      2. Marriage - Boyd's 1st Misc. Series 1538-1775, London Diocese marriage allegations, 1633 Wiggens-Witing (www.findmypast.co.uk).


      Notes:
      1. From England to Cambridge, Massachusetts in 1633 with William Whiting. Wiggins had been in America before. He may have emigrated from Shrewsbury in 1631.
      2. His marriage was published in a New England genealogical magazine. Marriage found in the Bishop's marriage licenses of London. Allegation signed by Peter Lole of St. Matthew Friday Street. Thomas Wiggins, of the same parish, gentleman, age about 41, married Catherine Whiting of the same parish, age about 32. Marriage to take place at St. Margaret New Fish Street. Dated 11 July 1633. If true, this would place Thomas Wiggins' birth about 1592 and Catherine Whiting's birth about 1601. He was a widower when he married Catherine. The registers of St. Margaret New Fish Street are not extant until 1712. St. Magnus the Martyr with St. Margaret New Fish Street is situated at the northeast corner of old London Bridge. The ancient church was destroyed by fire in 1666 and rebuilt.
      3. In Piscataqua on 17 May 1629 (N.H. Provincial papers, 2, vol. 1 page 165). In America in 1631, returned to England in 1632, and came back in 1633.
      4. An account of Thomas appears in the Noyes, Libby, and David "Genealogical Dictionary of Maine and New Hampshire."
      5. Will probated in 1666 in New Hampshire.
      6. "History of New Hampshire" claims that Thomas migrated in 1631 as an agent of the Bristol Company and that he founded the town first called Bristol on Dover Neck.
