My Dad's Grandma's side of the family claims Lord Francis Bacon; in fact one of my "hooligan" Bacon family members helped burn Jamestown to the ground around 1700.

The Wiggs' family settled in Wayne County, NC in the 1700s...dirt farmers mostly, poor folk. They moved to Illinois in 1860. My G-G-G Grandfather enlisted in the Union army; less than a year later he died at the Battle of Vicksburg. There are a lot of my people in South Carolina; I've heard that they owned most of Charleston, at one point.
