Source: "The History of Jackson County, Missouri" first published in 1881. (Library Call Number: 977.841 H6262a)

"John WIGGINTON was born in Bourbon County, Kentucky, April 22, 1794; lived there till he attained his majority, then moved to Howard County, Missouri, where he lived till 1840, and then located in Jackson County, near Independence, and lived there, and in Independence, until 1853, when he located in Prairie Township.

He was married to Mrs. Mary Ann GILLETT, of Howard County, Missouri, in 1831. She was born in Hopkins County, Kentucky, January 5, 1809. There were five children born to this family: James, born January 6, 1833; William, born May 26, 1834; Amanda, May 9, 1836; Mollie C., February 2, 1842, and George W., September 4, 1843.

Mr. WIGGINTON was a southern man by birth, and his sympathies were with the southern cause, but he took no very active part; yet while in Lafayette County attending to the wants of his family he was killed by the Federal troops. He was at that time in the sixty-eight year of his age. His personal property was all taken and his house burned, leaving only the land. His sons were all in the Confederate service, and served faithfully during the War, and all three of them were severely wounded.

George WIGGINTON, the youngest son and the one giving this sketch, was a member of Company B, Colonel Jones' Regiment, under General Price for a part of the time, and afterward during the remainder of the time, with Quantrell. At the close of the War, George WIGGINTON settled on the farm just one mile east of Lee's Summit, and began improving his farm of eighty acres. His aged mother and sister find a pleasant home with the son and brother."
