Smith
Wigglesworth
Smith Wigglesworth is a
Christian man of exceedingly great statue in England and garnered with a
world-wide reputation as an effective servant of Jesus Christ.
He is the 32nd Great grandson of ancient English
King of Wessex, Aethelwulf (806-858 AD), the 25th great grandfather of Edward
Southworth, my 25th cousin, eight times removed, and the first husband of Alice
Carpenter. She is my seventh great
grandmother through her second husband, Plymouth Colony Governor William
Bradford.
Ethelwulf (as it also is spelled) is the 39th great
grandfather of our Westmoreland grandchildren, Katherine (Katie), John David
(Jack), twins Lily and Sarah and Samuel (Sam). The Westmoreland grandchildren are 33rd cousins, seven times
removed to Smith Wigglesworth.
Their father and uncle, Steve and David Westmoreland, are 33rd cousins,
six times removed. Their
grandmother, Betty Katherine Covington Westmoreland, is a 33rd cousin, five
times removed, our closest kin to Smith Wigglesworth!
My wife, Suzanne Margaret Boggess Sharpe, is
related to Smith Wigglesworth through her marriage to me and through the
cousins of cousins relationships described above.
