      Hello, I saw your posting on rootsweb about Roger Wigginton, d. 1718. If you are still into researching this family, I thought you might find the following information I found while reasearching my family interesting:

      Martha Tydwell of the Parish of Cople being presented and convicted for having a natural child, Roger Wigginton, and Richard Tidwell gave bond for 4000 pounds of tobacco to pay her fine of £500 for fornication and to keep the parish from charges for rearing the child.

      Richard Tidwell preferred on 27 July 1715 a petition against Roger Wigginton as marrying the widow of John Clements, deceased, William Garner as executor of John Garner, deceased, and Dr. Samuel Damourvell. He alleged they owed his brother John Tidwell 4000 pounds of tobacco. John had not been heard from for many years. Judgment was awarded Richard Tidwell on 1 June 1716.

      On 26 Feb. 1718 Richard Tidwell and Robert Tidwell recovered tobacco from the estate of Roger Wigginton (who had married Jane Clements, widow of John Clements) and from John Garner and Dr. Samuel Damourvell as his securities. This was for a portion of their father's estate belonging to their brother Peter Tidwell ("neither is it known whether he be living").
