Talk:Thomas Wiggin

Issue, dates, identity
Captain Wiggin did not arrived with Winthrop in 1630. He likely arrived with the T. Wright colonists at Saco in 1629 as he witnessed the Wheelwright Treaty at Squamscott on May 17, 1629. He was also negotiating with Hilton to buy land for the Bristol Merchant Venturers.

Stratham did not exist in 1631. In that year the Captain was still not settled in New Hampshire and likely staying in Maine at the Casco house. He does not arrive at what is now Dover, NH, until 1633 and remains there for seven years.

Andrew was his first born c. 1635, then came Mary c. 1637 and finally Thomas, Jr., in 1640. They were all baptized in 1641.

There were four men named Thomas Wiggin arriving within about a ten year span. Care must be exercised in not mixing them up. One arrives in VA, one in Mass, another on Long Island, NY and Captain Wiggin in NH. There are numerous sites that are combining the Thomas in Long Island with Captain Wiggin of NH. They are distinctly two different individuals of different ages, abilities and identities. — Preceding unsigned comment added by EchoShadowMe (talk • contribs) 16:44, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
