General Notes: Husband - John Wigton

---

He was born after his father came to Butler County, Pennsylvania, on a farm one mile distant from the one near Hallston where his son, John H. Wigton, later resided. At that time, Brady Township was known as Slippery Rock Township. After marriage, he and his wife went to housekeeping on a fifty-acre tract of this farm, to which additions were gradually made until John Wigton was called one of the most substantial men in the township and the owner of 500 acres of fine land. He improved his property and among other buildings, put up the handsome brick residence.

He and his wife were the parents of eleven children; four still survived in 1909.
