Attn: John Russell (Wigginton question)

John,

I have seen on several posts that you are quite informed on the Wigginton's (any and all spellings) in MO, especially as they relate to Bud who was with Quantrill. I am working on all Wiggintons in the Civil War but am currently tracking down information on Joseph B. Wigginton from Boone Co. MO. He enlisted with Porter's regiment (Aug 62) but had a quick change of heart and then turned himself in to Union authorities in Sept 62. His family and friends spent the next several months trying to get him out of prison (Alton & Gratiot). It appears that he was paroled at Sister's Hospital in March or April '63. What info do you have on him and is there any tie to Bud? Thanks for any info on any of the Wigs.
