[Prior written portions of this email from Ackermann to Cleaveland have been ommitted.I wanted to spotlight this section of the email which concisely presents researchers problems with Bygod's wives names.]
There's a great deal of speculation as to who Bigod's wives might have been.
Mary Talcott is often named as one of them, however little hard information
has come to light to support this guess. Who these women were remains one of
the mysteries surrounding Bigod's life. Maybe somewhere there's a dusty old
document that will one day solve this one for all of us.
Some of the above information comes from Myke Egleston's fantastic site at
http://hometown.aol.com/MREgleston/index.html [since changed to http://www.pennlaird.com/eggleston/indexx.html], as well as other wonderful
websites (can give you the URLs if you really want them). Be careful ...
once you log onto this website, you can't use your back button to get back
to where you began. The source I'm having a little difficulty with is "The
Great Migrations Begins 1620-1633" 2:620-624 by Anderson and I quote:
"BIRTH: Baptized Settrington, Yorkshire, 20 February 1586[/7], son of "James
Egeleston" [ TAG 10:198]. (Rosalie Eggleston and Linda Eggleston McBroom
have identified the mother of Bigod Eggleston as Margaret, daughter of Miles
Harker of Settrington [ TAG 69:193-201].) DEATH: Windsor 1 September 1674
"near 100 year old" (but actually eighty-seven) [ Grant 35; also CTVR 28].
MARRIAGE: (1) By 1612 _____ _____; not seen in any record. (2) By about
1634 _____ _____; on 5 June 1645 "Baggett Egleston, for bequeathing his wife
to a young man, is fined 20s." [ CCCR 1:127; RPCC 34]; living on 13 November
1673 when named in her husband's will."
Anderson does not say why Bigod bequeathed his wife to another man, nor does
any of the other records that I've researched to date. And, Anderson also
does not state the young man's name (George Tuckye) or that he was also
fined and then drops out of the records. My personal comment (and it seems
to match that of most other Eggleston researchers) is that Bigod's 2nd wife
(or what it his 3rd wife?????) was a much younger woman and he wanted her to
be taken care of, but no one has found any proof of this.
