I have been curious for quite some while as to where the Pigate name originated. I have been unable to trace it. Help?

My father has done a bit of research on the topic and thinks that the name derived from Pigott or Piggott. Would be interested in where you are from and whether or not you have done research on your family history.

My family and I are originally from Olanta, South Carolina. There are numerous Pigate's in the area, which are related. Little research has been done. We have seen a lot of information regarding Pigot and Pigott, but no definite answer on where Pigate came from. There were some civil war scrolls that showed a couple of Pigate's. Just cant get to the bottom.

HAVE SEEN YOUR NAME ON INTERNET SHOWING LINKS
TO FAR EAST,,,WITH HOME IN ATLANTA,,,I BELIEVE
THE PIGATE TREE WE RELATE TO IS FROM SOUTH CAROLINA
WITH LINKS INTO GEORGIA(COLUMBUS) WONDERING IF
YOU MIGHT BE FROM THAT AREA ORIGINALLY, AS FOR THE
NAME WHAT SEARCHES I HAVE DONE TELL ME THAT YES
PIGOT, PIGOTT, AND OTHERS PROBABLY ARE RELATED.
FOUND A SOLDIER IN CIVIL WAR FROM CLARENDON COUNTY
SC RECORDED AS BOTH PIGATE AND PIGOT, KEEP SEARCHING
BUT HAVEN'T HAD THE TIME TO SPEND IN COURT HOUSES
TO CONFIRM LINKS

I'm from South Carolina--Timmonsville, actually. Looks like you did your research though. I now live in Hong Kong and my last place of residence was in Atlanta, GA. My father, James D. Pigate, is the one who got me interested in tracking this down. Funny that your name is Don. My brother's name is Don. May I ask where you reside?

Actually, my father's brother, my uncle, was the Magistrate of Timmonsville--Dallas Pigate. I'll ask my father about the name you mentioned. I'm sure that I'm the only Pigate in Hong Kong!!
