Ligon Family Page

FAMILY CREST DESCRIPTION:
Nash's Worcestershire, Volume II, page 118, records the following: "Ligon (Lygon) entered his Pedigree and Arms in the Heralds College, A.D. 1569, 1634, and 1683. This worthy family came in (to England) with William the Conqueror (1066) and having fought under the standard of Normandy, gave two lions passant for their Arms."
From the General Armory of England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales, by Burke, 1884, the following is quoted:
"LIGON: (Upton, St Leonard's CO,. Gloucester, and Madresfield Co., Worcester.) Ar. two lions pass. in pale gu. another, sa."
"CREST: A Saracen's head ppr. wreathed about the temple ar. and gu."
"ANOTHER CREST: An old man's head ppr. hair and beard sa."
"MOTTO: Ex fide fortes."

Thomas Ligon (i54) Ligon Pedigree

As I said on the main page, I am interested in providing a place for records of the descendants of Thomas and Anne (_______) Ligon, parents of:
Thomas md. but had no children
Elizabeth md. Sherwood Peerson, Purson
Mary md. John Bridges,
Joseph md.
Obedience md.

And for the unknown Thomas Ligon (spelled Legin in records)and (_______), parents of
Martha Ligon
who may be the same persons.

The above link provides a source for all that came before Thomas Ligon (i54) so I will put nothing further here. What you will see will be records of his, or their, descendants according to my plan.

Thomas and Ann_____LIGON were the parents of five children,(according
to "Ligon Family and Connections"):
Mary, b. 1754 who married John BRIDGES in Charlotte Co., VA 5/5/1772;
Thomas, Jr., [never married]
Elizabeth m. Sherwood PURSON, [also PEARSON and PEERSON]
Joseph m. Mary CHURCH,
Obedience m. John OWENS, 3/11/1784.
