However, there are no known yDNA or mtDNA test-takers in his direct paternal or maternal line. It is likely that these autosomal DNA test-takers will share some percentage of DNA with Thomas:

Cornet Thomas Wiggin died at Fort George NY 1776 Apr 26 from smallpox. Source Stratham Town Records. His wife is still showing Sarah Piper. PLEASE CORRECT. And it still says Captain Thomas Wiggin IV here. Sarah Piper married IV and he was not of these parents.

The owner of this profile is following Stearns who messed up the Wiggin lines egregiously. The History of Newfields didn't do any better. The Wiggin Genealogy at the New Hampshire Historical Society Library has correct information. We also have a copy at the Stratham Historical Society. He is Thomas IV because his line goes Thomas III, Thomas II, Capt Thomas. See Thomas-495 who is his father. https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Wiggin-495

Thomas III md before 1685 Sarah Unknown (1668-1758) who m2 1730 James Palmer (1667-1740).

The child Sarah is daughter of Thomas Wiggin IV and Sarah Piper and should be moved to their profiles.

There is incorrect info here.

He is not Thomas IV who md Sarah Piper. See Wiggin Genealogy for his wives and Lane Diary for his death.

Wiggin-444 and Wiggin-289 appear to represent the same person because: incorrectly set as unmerged matches
posted by Robin Lee
Wiggin-444 and Wiggin-289 do not represent the same person because: Pre-1700 certification is required. I'm sorry.
posted by Alyssa Bistline
Wiggin-444 and Wiggin-289 appear to represent the same person because: similar dates, same spouse, no sources
