Sigrest and related families
Hi!! I know I have posted before but I did a check of my database and have some info for you. Martha Emma Sigrest is the 4th child of Jasper Gunning Sigrest and Mary Elizabeth Manning. Jasper is the son of John B Sigrest and Martha Graner from Scott Co. Miss. I obtained a copy of the John Sigrest family tree. In the census it shows that John was born in South Carolina. My 2nd qreat grandfather also born in South Carolina was in Scott co. as well. I obtained a copy of another family tree from a Sigrest living in Jackson Mississippi in the 1980's that shos a Martin Sigrest came from S.C. between 1810 and 1820's Martin was in the census in 1820 with 4 boys and sevral girls. The boys started showing up on the census between 1830 and 1850 census. Martin died 25 Sep 1925 his wife remarried to Lawerence Pennington and she died in Jun 1831. The one thing that I do know is Thoms M Sigrest is the oldest son of Martin, after that is only a guess, my 3rd great grandfather William N Sigrest,is the next and John B, David and then Edward M.was the only one to be born in Miss. just berfore the death of Martin. I did find Martin in Charlston S.C. in the 1900 census but the spelling was I believe Sacriss he had no children. Both he and his wife were very young maybe early 20's. I also found a Martin unsure of the spelling right now in the 1790 census and he and his wife had at least 2 boys. There was a Jacob Segrest that came to Miss. and don't remember the Co. he settled in but it wasn't in the same as Martin. I hope this helps I am still trying to get more information on the family including the current family. I would appriciate any help.
