George Wiggins was mentioned in his father's estate settlement and thefamily Bible, Morgan County, Alabama marriage records for his firstmarriage.
In the book "Old Land Records of Morgan Co. , AL" by Cowart with theabstract sent me by Ellouise Wynn. (I am not sure what the numbers 174,175 are unless it is the page listed in book) George is shown to havereceived 79.93 acres on 7 June 1856 warrant # 27460 in Township 7 south,Range 4 west, section 28 and S1/2 of SE 1/4 and also same date and samewarrant, 80 acres in Township 7 south, Range 4 west, section 34, W 1/2 ofNW 1/4 for a total of 159.93 acres.

In 1845, George was sent a letter to Waverly, Lowndes County,Mississippi. The family has this letter. He was in Ms. in 1843 when hisfirst wife died 1843, but it is not known if he was in Waverly at thattime. By March 1839, Waverly was named. The settlement was known for it'swealth and refinement. The principal attractions are it's beautifulwomen. The men, however, are said to be powerfully homely. Waverlycontinued to ship cotton till the 1880's. Today all that remains of thetown is the magnificent mansion of George H. Young, one of the early andinfluential residents. It is now in Clay County, MS.
