I'm fairly certain that George Reed, Sr.'s wife, Anna was not a Wigginton.
Dr. Wood states: "About 1770 George Reed, whose wife was a Miss Wigington,
came with his brother-in-law from Franklin County across the Blue Ridge
Mountains and settled on the north side of Wills Ridge. Wigington settled on
the south side of this ridge and the two took up several thousand acres of
land."

Per the VA State Library, three land grants for a total of 1,535 acres were
issued for George Reed & John Wiggington; however in 1818 & 1819, not ca.
1770.

1 July 1818 Montgomery County 400 acres on the head waters of Beaver Creek,
waters of Little River, adj. Andrew Reed, grants 67, p. 425.

1 July 1819 Montgomery County 195 acres on the south side of Esther's Creek,
waters of New River, grants 68, p. 240

1 July 1819 Montgomery County 940 acres on the head waters of Beaver Creek,
waters of Little River, grants 68, p. 242.

Which George Reed were these grants for? Certainly not George Reed, Sr., who
m. Anna as he d. 1807 Montgomery County, VA. Per his will, he had 293 acres
on Little River, a branch of Beaver Creek, adj. to Carter Cox, Charles
Simmons & Andrew Reed. This land was granted to George in 1788 per VA land
grant:

Reed, George, Sr. 14 April 1788 Botetourt County 293 acres on the Gap Fork
of Beaver Creek, a branch of Little River, grants 16, p. 242

I have searched the Montgomery County, VA land tax lists & deed books and
feel that the George Reed who was granted the land with John Wiggington was
George (Jr.) who m. 1786 to Nancy McGeorge. John Wiggington m. 5 September
1787 Bedford County, VA to Margaret McGeorge, who was most likely a sister
to Nancy, and d/o John McGeorge, d. 1794 Bedford County, VA. This would mean
that George Reed and John Wiggington were brother-in-laws through their
marriages to the McGeorge sisters, and probably the "brother-in-laws" who
"the two took up several thousand acres of land" were that Dr. Wood was
referring to in his sketch; however he was apparently confused to some of
the facts. This information clearly suggests that the Anna who m. George
Reed, Sr. was not a Wiggington. Also, the only known record that we have for
her that gives her first name was from their d. Sally's marriage record,
that lists Sally as d/o George & Anna, not Nancy.

The land tax records indicate that George Reed, Jr. only paid taxes on this
property for several years, and then Griffith Reed (m. Olive Reed, d/o
George) started paying taxes on this property. There is no record in the
deed books that this property was transferred to Griffith; however in a law
suit of Ormand Delong & his wife, Sarah (d/o George Reed) vs. the heirs of
George Reed, there are two deeds for this property that George deeded to
Griffith in 1822. Apparently the deeds were executed, but never recorded.
