Father Occupation: Unknown Thomas Smith, writing early in the 18th century, said that Briggs' parents were "humble of class and rather slender of means." Humble of class could mean too many things to guess, but I take the slender means to state unmistakably that they were poor. Smith indicates that Briggs could not have attended Cambridge without financial assistance from his college. 3. Nationality Birth: England Career: England Death: England 4. Education Schooling: Cambridge, M.A. Local grammar school. St. John's College, Cambridge, 1577-85; B.A., 1581; M.A., 1585. 5. Religion Affiliation: Calvinist He is described in one fairly contemporary source as a severe Presbyterian, and he was active in the Puritan cause while he was at Cambridge. 6. Scientific Disciplines Primary: Mathematics Subordinate: Astronomy, Navigation, Geography Briggs is especially known for his publication of tables of logarithms to the base 10, first Logarithmorum chilias prima, 1617, and later Arithmetica logarithmetica, 1624. He also composed a work on trigonometry (basically tables, both of the functions and of the logs of sines and tangents) that was left unfinished at his death; Gellibrand completed and published it. And he left quite a few mathematical manuscripts that remained unpublished.

    http://www.mindspring.com/~tvcornel/rebecca.html
    
    Extractions: Many Cornells believe that Rebecca, wife of their ancestor Thomas Cornell (1594-1655/6), was a Briggs. Arguments in favor come from the trial of their son, Thomas (Jr.), who was hanged in 1673 for murdering his mother, then living in his home. The primary evidence which convicted Thomas (Jr.) was from John Briggs who testified of a vision he had in which Rebecca came to him and said, "I am your sister Cornell..." and told him how she died. The safest position, presented by noted researcher Dr. George McCracken in his article, "Who was Rebecca Cornell?" which appeared in "The American Genealogist," (TAG) Vol. 36, p. 16-18, is that not enough information or proof exists to conclude Rebecca was a Briggs. His main argument is that "sister" has several possible meanings as well as a religious one. Even in some churches today, adult members who are not blood related call one another "sister" and "brother." Those who feel Rebecca was a Briggs believe her to have been the daughter of Henry (Henrie) Briggs of London and was baptized 25 Oct. 1600 at St. James Church, Clerkenwell. This date seems very satisfactory for Rebecca Cornell. A John Briggs, son of Henry, was also baptized there. A major missing ingredient to this story, however, involves the considerable distance between London and northwest Co. Essex where Thomas Cornell is said to have lived. The roughly 50 miles between the two places would be quite an impediment to a young man courting a future bride. The solution to this would seem to be provided by

    the famous anecdote about the meeting between John Napier henry briggs at it to henry briggs (1617), the Gresham Professor of Astronomy in London.  
    http://users.cs.dal.ca/~jborwein/briggs.htm
    
    Extractions: Dear Dr Borwein, I was interested to read the collection of Mathematical Quotations in your website. Briggs was acquainted with John Marr (or Mair), who was compass-maker and dial-maker to the kings James 6th and Charles 1st. Marr witnessed that meeting, and he reported it to the prominent astrologist William Lilly (1602-1681), who was consulted by the Commonwealth Government about an auspicious date on which to execute King Charles 1st. Auckland City Library has a copy of "Mr Lilly's History of His Life and Times" (published 1715), with Marr's report of that meeting: "I will acquaint you with one memorable story related unto me by Mr John Marr, an excellent mathematician and Geometer whom I conceive you remember. He was servant to King James and Charles. At first, when the Lord Napier of Merchiston made public his logarithms, Mr Briggs, then Reader of the Astronomy lecture at Gresham College in London, was so surprised with admiration of them, that he could have no quietness in himself, until he had seen that noble person, the Lord Merchiston, whose only invention they were. He acquaints Mr Marr herewith, who went into Scotland before Mr Briggs, purposely to be there when these so learned persons should meet. Mr Briggs appoints a certain day, when to meet in Edinburgh, but failing thereof, the Lord Napier was doubtful he would not come. It happened one day as John Marr and the Lord Napier were speaking of Mr Briggs; "Ah, John," says Merchiston, "Mr Briggs will not come now". At the very instant one knocks on his gate. John Marr hasted down, and it proved Mr Briggs to his great contentment. He brings Mr Briggs up into my Lord's chamber, where almost one quarter of an hour was spent, each beholding other almost with admiration, before one word was spoke.
