Biography
Jacob and brothers, Samuel and John, came to Saint John with the Loyalists in 1783. John was thrown from a run away stagecoach on Portland Bridge and killed in 1815. When Samuel's will was probated in 1821 mention was made of nine children. His son, Stephen was the founder of the Wiggins Male Orphans Institution and was supposedly the wealthiest New Brunswicker of his time.
