Benjamin WIGGINS - Maugerville Grantee in 1764

I'm looking for information on the Benjamin WIGGINS who was a grantee in Maugerville in 1764. That would have been years before the arrival of the Loyalist WIGGINS families to New Brunswick.

Could this Benjamin WIGGINS be the same one who married in Cornwallis, Kings Co., Nova Scotia in 1769 to Sarah BREWSTER? Are there any land transactions between 1764 and 1769 to lend support to this theory?

Could he possibly be a brother of Stephen WIGGINS, Loyalist, who was born 1725 in Long Island, New York, the son of Benjamin WIGGINS and Rachel.
