Subject: [D-G LIST] Re: Earliest Bigger males, John, James, Michael Bigger in Nithsdale

I am hoping to find out if there is truth or not to the legend of the
three brothers, James, John and Michael
Bigger going to either Ballymoney or Antrim, County, NI about 1640-1648.
They definitely were in NI in the
early dating times but the legend is that they descend from the Lairds
of Bigger in Nithsdale, Dumfries, Scotland.
Can anyone verify this legend in any way or has anyone any genealogy
info about these three Bigger's in the early dates of 1640 or before?
