The main details of this chart are the work of Ross Piggin White, who has devoted years to researching this family history and has kindly shared the fruits of his labours. The Australian National Library has given White's 89-page book (1990) on the subject the ISBN 0646119028. English details were added with the kind assistance of L. George Piggin, Richard Crickmore and James Lake. This page largely duplicates the pedigree on Graham Coward's excellent website http://www.alphalink.com.au/~coward/, which draws on the same sources. Graham also kindly shared details from the Samuel Piggin will. Richard L. Opie also supplied details.
