Edward Wigglesworth (ca. 1693-1765) was the youngest son of Michael Wigglesworth and Sybil (Sparhawk) Avery. He attended Harvard College, where he received an A.B. in 1710. Following several years as a traveling preacher, Wigglesworth was chosen as Harvard's first Hollis Professor of Divinity. He served in that role from 1722 until his death on January 16, 1765, and was also a Fellow of the Harvard Corporation.
