Historical Maps & Documents

There are several documents and map references that help us to put a framework on the house and its owners, beginning in the mid-18th century.

We have a deed document from 1767 for the land (Tufton and Sarah Wiggin to Richard Wiggin) with witnesses John Pickering and Nathaniel Bracket (neighbors).



We have a 1790 (first census) record of Richard's household consisting of 3 free white males over the age of 16 and 4 free white females.



We have a 1793 Phineas Merrill map that shows the property of R. Wiggin in relative proximity to other documented Wiggin properties of the time.



We have an 1857 map showing the property of T. F. (?) Wiggin at the same location.


 We have an 1892 Hurd Atlas showing the property of G. A. Wiggin at the same location.
