In the 1880 Census of Massachusetts, there are two GIGGER households, I believe one of them is mine. Both head of households were born in ENGLAND...
Robert Gigger, aged 67 (born c 1813) Eng. Paper maker
Mary Ann Gigger wife 58 b. England
Emma R. dau 33 b. England
John W. son , 29 b Ma. Grocer
Charles H. son 25 b Ma, bakery worker
Harry A. son 19 , b. Ma paper mill
Ida A , dau 17 b. Ma, at home
Living in Hyde Park, Norfolk, Mass.
I believe this is the family I am looking for. In 1860, Robert wrote a letter to his Hobbs relatives in Texas about a "Rob" left in England and in great need. I have a copy of that letter to give to any descendant of the Robert GIGGER family.
