John Madison Pigg was my mother's great-grandfather (Julia Pigg, Frances Dudgeon, Bertha Hanson (Hicks), me). I've read that my grandfather learned of the plight of the Mormons and escorted them across the state of Missouri safely. My mother tells me that he also drove a stage coach and was a pony express rider. Does anyone have information to substantiate any of this? Does anyone have photos?

Thanks much -- Donna Hanson (Hanson/Barrie/Hicks/Dudgeon Family)
