[NI721] He held Ecclerstown, Sigginstown, Corbally, (Alias Sigginshaggard,alias Walshgrange) and Knockbrake (alias Ballyronoan) As his estate. His son Phillip was a ward of the king. When Phillip died the land went to his brother Edward
[NI729]
The Norman origin of the Siggins Family has been established. The
first of the name of whom there is record is Chief Seguin. He was with
William the Conqueror at the Battle of Hastings in 1066. (See Dutchess of
Clevland's Battle Abbey Roll Vol. 3, O. 134.
This patriotic Norman chief left loyal descendants to carry on the
name down to James Siggins, who was born about 1300; his sons were
Richard and Phillip. Phillip of Wexford Co. was born in 1350. Richard
Siggins, Mayor of Cork, was given license in October 1386 to but oats,
wheat and Barley in Wexford for transportation to Cork to relive the
famine stricken city.
In December of the same year, 1386, he went to england bearing
general letters of attorney. In 1432, September 6, we find listed Maurice
Siggins, Smythe; Walter Siggins, Convyser; John Siggins Convyser; and
Richard Siggins, Convyser. Probably these men were brothers and
descendants of Richard Siggins, Mayor of Cork or one of his brothers. The
first family from whom we have the direct descent was Thomas Siggins of
Walshgrane, county Wexford, gent. by Chancery Decree dated May & Edward
VI., recovered against Robert Roche of Tamon gent. the reversion of
Walshgrange, Corbally, Knockbrake, Ballyronanalias Mageston,the church of
Culstonse, and Tamon.
