Hi Jane
my SHARMAN family [mother's lineage] is also from Oxfordshire [Cropredy]
was originally SHERMAN [before that, SCHERMAN, likely origins Germany] My mt-DNA also shows German origins.
Cropredy, Oxfordshire: Generations as follows:
[1] John SHERMAN/SCHERMAN b.1510 Cropredy, Oxfordshire
[2] William SHERMAN b.1546
[3] William SHERMAN b.1564
[4] George SHERMAN b.1593
[5] Elizabeth SHERMAN/SHARMAN b.1635 Cropredy, Oxfordshire
[6] Dorcas GILL/GILES b.1671 Cropready, Oxfordshire
Your Wigginton is SW of Banbury, Oxfordshire
My Cropredy is just N of Banbury. So there is likely a Banbury connection.
Kind regards
