THE PIGOTT FAMILY - 

Dr. Edward Pigott came from England prior to the Revolutionary war, 
and settled in what is now New Jersey, and one of his brothers was 
in the Battle of Bunker Hill.  Edward's son George settled in Cumberland, 
Maryland, and George's son Jesse came to Harrison county, Virginia, 
in 1808, and married Anna Hildreth, March 8, 1810. She was a daughter 
of Frazier Hildreth, whose an- cestors came from New Castle, twelve miles
from Philadelphia, and were of English and French extraction. The maiden 
name of Frazier's wife was Rebecca Jacquet. Jesse died May 3, 1829, leaving 
four boys and four girls, all living with their families at the present time 
(May, 1883), excepting one. Elam F. Pigott, a grandson of Jesse, is now 
living in Harrison county. His father has seen seven generations of his 
family, and is now 72 years old.
