Marriage of THOMAS WIGGIN of Dover, New Hampshire: That governor Thomas Wiggin, of Dover, N. H., married a sister of Major William Whiting, of Hartford, Connecticut, has long been known. However, the actual record of the marriage had not been discovered.

Recently, Alfred Trego Butler, Windsor Herald, of the College of Arms, London, discovered this importantrecord and communicated it to the contributor of this note, graciously giving permission to make any desired use of it.

"The record is found in the Bishop of London's Marriages Licenses: 11 Jul 1633. Peter Lole of St. Matthew, Friday Street, yeoman, Allegation. Thomas Wiggins of the same place, gent., and a widower, aged about 41 years, and Catherine Whiting of the same parish, spinster, aged about 32 years: to be married at St. Margaret, New Fish Street. Peter Lowle."

The Register of St. Margaret, Fish Street, for this period is not extant. The Register of St. Matthew, Friday Street, is printed as Volume 63 of the series of parish registers issued by the Harleian Society. It, however, includes no entries relating to the Wiggins, Whiting or Lowle family.

We know that both Wiggins and Whiting were in London on visits from New England, and so were merely temporary sojourners in the Parish,

Peter Lowle has not been identified. What his relationship to either Thomas Wiggins or Catherine Whiting was, does not appear.

An excellent account of Governor Thomas Wiggins is found in the Noyes, Libby, and David "Genealogical Dictionary of Maine and New Hampshire." Arthur Adams
