Hello, I am Bradley Wiggins. My grandfather was the second son of Rosa Lee Stuffelbean and William Harrison Wiggins. My grandfather was the first of his siblings to be born in Logan County Arkansas. My grandfather was born in 1905. His older brother was born in Kingston, Arkansas. I can imagine the difficulties of traveling in those days. I’m sure by mule or horse. When I was about 9 or 10 my grandfather showed me a family photo of this family that moved from Kingston. I haven’t seen the photo since then, but I know who has it. They moved in numbers it was safer to survive in travel and once they set up residence in a new land. I know that times were tough in Kingston and there was good farm land for the taking in Logan County. I’d be proud to speak with anyone apart of the family. I’d like to learn more about my people. Also, I know where Albert Stuffelbean is buried. As well as Rosa Lee.
