Accounts presented to the House of Commons by Grand Juries of Ireland, County of Meath, Lent assizes, 1807, included [Page 269] the following:
To Benjamin PARKER, William and Charles PIGOTT, to build an arch of a bridge on Lands of Tieroghan, road from Kinegad to Edenderry, wages included, £8 0s 6d.
To (ditto) Lands of Knockalroo, road from Philipstown to Trim (ditto), £2 3s 10d.

Jane Isabella, the Dowager Countess of Lanesborough, made an Indented Deed of Release, dated 1 February 1822 [Memorial 522246, Book 770, Page 311], by which she demised land to Rev Robert NOBLE, Minister of the Parish of Kinnegad, for the purposes of establishing a Parish School; the land, of 1 acre, was "... bounded on the north by the Quarry field, on the east by the road leading from Dublin to Mullingar, on the south by the lane leading from the road to the quarry, and on the west by the Stone Quarry of Kinnegad, together with that site in the Town for the Schoolhouse to be built on, situate on the south side of the Street of Kinnegad and adjoining the house now occupied by Mrs MAGUIRE."
Whilst this deed makes no mentions of the PIGOTTs, it does reveal that there was an established stone quarry in or very near the town of Kinnegad, with which the PIGOTT Masons would probably have been very familiar.

FAMILY OF PHILIP PIGOTT OF RATHMOLYON.

Phillip PIGOTT; House, Townland of Rathmoline (sic), County Meath, rated at £3  11s, 1 February 1839 [Ireland, Valuation Office Books]; House and Office, Townland of Glebe, County Meath, rated at £4, 2 February 1839 [Ditto]; he died at Rathmolyon, 1 May 1850, and was buried at Carbury Church of Ireland churchyard, Carbury Hill [JACKSONs of Ballygibbon Family Tree on Ancestry.com]; he was married firstly, 9 August 1818, to Ann HOLT (born 4 April 1797, daughter of John HOLT of Carbury, County Kildare); she died at Rathmolyon, 23 March 1830, aged 33 [correspondence from Ber HOLT; "The Farm Journal of the HOLT Family of Coolavacoose, Carbury, County Kildare," transcribed by Leslie WHITESIDE]; they had issue:

1. William PIGOTT, born about 1819; he died at Rathmolyon, 1 March 1826, aged 7, and was buried at Carbury Hill Cemetery.

2. Mary PIGOTT, born about 1821; Mary WEILY, aged 79, Farmer's daughter, was at Dalystown, Ballyconnell, 1901 Census, residing with her brother-in-law Garret GILL; she died at Dalystown House, Trim, 4 December 1903, a Farmer's Widow, aged 82, the death informed by her brother-in-law Garrett GILL, of Daleystown, present at the death; she was married at Rathmolyon, 2 June 1851, to John WIELY or WEILY or WILEY, son of William WIELY; a John WEILY died at Trim, 1876, aged 86, 2nd quarter [Volume 7, Page 851], but perhaps too old?

3. Jane PIGOTT, born about 1824; of Adamstown, County Meath, she was granted probate of her late husband's will, August 1869, as the sole executrix [Will Calendars, National Archives of Ireland]; possibly the Jane DEMPSEY, late of Rathfeigh, County Meath, Widow, who died there, 6 September 1886, with probate grant to Clement DEMPSEY, of Dungannon, Tyrone, Clerk in Holy Orders [Will Calenders, N.A.I.] - but not recorded with those details in the Statutory Registers; she was married at Rathmolyon, 23 September 1856, to Hugh DEMPSEY, son of Hugh DEMPSEY, witnessed by John HOLT and William John PIGOTT; Hugh DEMPSEY died at Adamstown, Trim, 24 February 1869, aged 60 [Volume 2, Page 874, image not yet digitalised; Will Calendars, N.A.I.].

4. William John (Willie) PIGOTT, born about 1827; Farmer; he died at Rathmolyon, 28 August 1859, and was buried in his parents' plot, Carbury Hill churchyard, County Kildare, where the uppermost inscription was "Beneath are the remains of William John PIGOTT, youngest son of Philip and Ann PIGOTT, who died Aug 28th 1859, aged 32 years" [M.I., raised tabular gravestone - JACKSONS of Ballygibbon Family Tree on Ancestry.com]; another record has him buried at Rathmolyon Church of Ireland Graveyard, plot AF 10 (shown as just inside the main gate on Summerfield Road, on the west side of the path leading to the church), with the inscription - "To the Memory of / Wm John PIGOTT / of Rathmolyon / who in the prime of his life was called / to his eternal rest in Jesus / on the 28th of August 1859 / aged 32 years" [Bruce CHANDLER's transcription] - so perhaps the inscription at Carbury was simply an additional or "cenotaph" memorial.

After his death:

It looks very much like this William John PIGOTT had no sons to pass his goods and chattels on to - or none that were interested in carrying on his farm. Assuming that he did not die heavily in debt to his creditors? A Willie John PIGOTT is said to have sold land in Rathmolyon in 1862 to Garret GILL - but this date is three years after William John's death, so perhaps another?

5. Martha PIGOTT, born in 1829; she died in 1829, aged 2 months, and was buried at Carbury Hill.
