...
Baptized in All Saints church, Settrington, Yorkshire, England on February 20, 1586, he was the eldest son of James Eggleston and Margaret Harker, who were farmers.

Historians speculate his name was intended to honor the Bigod family, prominent in Yorkshire. By 1611, Bigod had moved to Norwich, England, where he appears in the militia list. By April of 1612, when the baptism of his son James was recorded, he must have been married. He was still in Norwich when his daughter Mary was baptized in 1613/4. Nothing is known of what he did between then and 1630, when he appears in New England. Whatever path led him to the New World, he settled in Dorchester, MA upon his arrival.

Eggleston appears to have gained the respect of his neighbors early and retained it until the end of his life. In Dorchester, Eggleston was granted church membership. He was named a freeman by 1631, and followed the Reverend John Warham to Windsor in 1635. By 1640, his landholdings included a parcel inside the Palisado, just north of the meeting house, which by 1654 was his homelot and included an orchard. He continued living there until the end of his life. In May of 1667/8, Matthew Grant recorded in the town records, "Baggot Egleston undertakes the cleansing of the meeting [house] for this year coming for 50s, and the beating of the drum to meetings for 28s." A year later, he was paid £3.10s for "4 wolves, meeting house," meaning that, in addition to wages for maintaining the church, he was paid a bounty for four wolf pelts. The bounty, established to protect the community's livestock from predation, suggests Bigod may have been spry enough to hunt wolves as an octogenarian. The town gave him lucrative work, close to home, which made him a vital part of the community well into his 80s"

General William Tecumseh Sherman - He had been named Tecumseh Sherman, but his church would not baptize him without a Biblical or Christian name; ergo, the name, William was tacked onto his name. It is my hypothesis Simon was tacked onto his name for the purpose of being christened, even if Simon was not often used. For that reason, I have added Simon Bigod Eggleston as an alternative name, mostly for indexing purposes were someone trying to find him using the name Simon. - D. A.
