Yes, although when the family went to the US, the ship manifest used the Biggerstaff spelling.

Thank you! Your information supports other data that suggest they attended 2nd Presbyterian.

Antrim / Ballyeaston 1st and 2nd Presbyterian Churches
« on: Monday 29 August 22 18:36 BST (UK) »
My great-great grandfather, John Biggerstaff, was born October 9, 1806, probably in Ballyboley. His wife, Jeanette (Janet) Campbell, was born January 1, 1807, also in that area. They were married at either 1st or 2nd Presbyterian on November 9, 1827. Their first 7 children were baptized as follows: twins James and Elizabeth (July 9, 1828), John Jr. (July 1, 1830), Helena (November 20, 1831), William (January 9, 1834), Hugh (November 21, 1835) and Jane (February 4, 1838). I would like to verify which congregation they belonged to and if there is any information on John and Jeanette's parents or other family. They left for the US in 1839, where my great grandfather was born in 1842. I have visited the area and took pictures of both churches and plan to return in September 2023. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!
