Wiggins/Kaine--Oswego, NY
Looking for info on my grandmother's family--Bernice Hazel Wiggins (b.1897 Orwell, NY; d.1972 Oswego Co. NY).She married Harry Kaine (b. 1894, d. 1970).
Bernice's father was Thomas J. Wiggins.We believe he came to the US from Ireland about 1853 at age 4.The family story is that he and his parents(Jerry and Lucy Wiggins)started over once, but had to return to port due to a mutiny on the ship.The second trip was successful.
Thomas married Philena Bellows in 1875.They lived in Oswego Co., NY and St. Lawrence Co., NY.Their children were:
Etta b. 1876 (married Unknown Dorr)
May(married Ormie Bliss)
Eugene b. 1879, d. 1955(never married)
Emma b. 1879(married Unknown Bolton)
Earle b. 1887 (married Effie Unknown)
Carl b. 1889(married Jennie Unknown)
Nile b. 1892(married Ethel Unknown)
Harrison b. 1895(married Iva Unknown)
Bernice b. 1897(married Harold Kaine)
Belva b. 1899(married Russell Baulch)
I would love to hear from anyone who might know more about this family.
