CREDITS: The major work in compiling this Wiggins genealogy was done by Mrs. Ina Barewald of Tipton, Iowa, mostly prior to 1957. Some compilation of data was done subsequent to that date by Sandra Leigh Wiggins (Sandi). In February of 1993 the text was retyped and entered into computer files by Arthur B. Wiggins of 706 Claypool Terrace, Richmond, Va., 23236. Ph. 804-276-1938. At that time a considerable amount of information was added to update the genealogy into the ninth generation. A diskette copy of the data has been made. Please bring all corrections and additions to the attention of Arthur B. Wiggins who will attempt to keep the record current.
