Article from Unknown Newspaper... Most likely from Piggott, Arkansas area. Date unknown.

Dr. and Mrs. James A. Piggott

Dr. Piggott, the man for whom the city of Piggott, was named, moved here from Dow, Illinois in 1873. He lost his wife either before his move or en route. He later married Mrs. Mary Bryant according to an account by the late William Sedrick, her nephew.

Mr. Piggott secured a post office for the little settlement where he lived about two miles west of where Piggott now stands. The post office was established in the home of a neighbor, Richard Throgmorton, who lived near the springs which bear his name.

Mrs. Throgmorton called the little settlement and post office Piggott in honor of the doctor.

Dr. Piggott's daughter, Dora Ann (born August 13, 1862) married John Mayo. Their children were Lilly, Roxie and Belle. Lilly married Andrew Brown and bore him 16 children, 6 still living: Doisie (Webster), Edith (Elkins), Ella (Verble), Bessie (Russell), Sollie Brown and Art H. Brown.

Roxie became the wife of Et Payne and this union produced Flossie (Fridenberg) deceased, Vern ie (Edwards) and Otto and Olen Payne.

Belle married Monroe Lawernce and was the mother of David and Ollie Bea (Henderson).

When the railroad came through the post office was moved and the village near the tracks even tually became known as Piggott.
