[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.
