Mrs. Harriett Miller was Harriett Schoonover dau of Edward Benjamin Schoonover. She married in Lamar co Tx to Monk and had at least Isaac Henry Monk and then divorced and md a Mr. Miller who is not known to me. William Williams md Melvina Schoonover in 1839 in Clark co MO however both were from Lee co, Iowa then Territory of Iowa. Melvina Schoonover Williams' brother Elias Schoonover probably witness to James M. Biddy & Harriett (Schoonover) Monk Miller marriage license. Melvina & Elias are children of Solomon Schoonover brother to Edward Benjamin Schoonover also in records as Benjamin. Stacie please contact me with your new email address.

I am Sandra's middle child. You would probably recognize me if you saw me.You missed a couple of siblings---Bobby, Bettylou, and they also had a brother that died as a child, I think his name was Harold.
Berry Biddy's father was named Cicerow. I found that recently on here but I do not remember his mother's name. Your grandmother was a Dobbs and I have not found anything about there family yet. Mom has been wanting to go see your mother's grave but we have not made it up there yet. That is what started this for me, trying to find the name of the cemetery she is buried in. Mom thaought she could find it but I was wanting to find out the name first, just to make sure. You can call Mom if you like at (770)943-4802. You can reach me at cpope62@bellsouth.net or (770)949-9742.

Hi-
Yes we are cousins so which one are you? I am Colene Johnson. Since my mom passed away so young and unfortunately hadn't been close to the rest of the family I realized I don't know very much about Grandpa and Grandma Biddy! My mom(Clara Biddy Richardson Johnson)is buried at
Chalcedonia Baptist Church in Canton next to my Dad(Cohan Johnson). Do you know who Grandpa Biddy's parents names or
Grandma Biddy's? Keep in touch.

clayonpope1 — 2009-06-22 02:30:59Z

Well I think we are cousins as I am Sandra Biddy Pope's middle child. I was just at the Mill Creek cemetery today visiting my dad. Mom had mentioned locating the cemetery where your mother is buried so I started digging. Drop me a line and we can further inform/enlighten each other.

Hi, Could you please email me the 3 Biddy family photos. I am researching this family for my 4 children, Robin, Paul, Patrick and Michael Biddy. They descend from these families.

My earliest Biddy, is John Biddy (Sometimes spelled Bede) in Virginia in the 1700's. This John Biddy and his brothers, Thomas and Hollis Biddy moved into South Carolina. We find Abendego and Shadrack Biddy there also.

The Biddy men were in the Rev. War and the Civil War.

The family then moved into Georgia in Bartow and Cherokee Counties.

They later spread out further south and west where there are a lot of them in Alabama, Arkansas and Texas.

My childrens Grandfather was Benjamin Franklin Layton Biddy, son of John Biddy. He was born in Georgia.
Thanks so much.

Hannah Bracken Biddy Bishop

pennyrile — 2007-07-26 02:29:02Z

My ancestor, Hannah Bracken, first married a Biddy (first name unknown) and had 5 children by him. She later married Nicholas Bishop in Pennsylvania and migrated to Chester Co., S.C. before 1760. Hannah and Nicholas had five sons who served in the American Revolution. Hannah later migrated to what is now Hopkins Co., Ky. in the early 1790's. Phillip R.

Re: Biddy Ancestory

barbara lewis — 2007-04-17 17:42:24Z

Thank you for the information. A lot of descendents of Meshach Biddy still live in Georgia.

My direct Biddy ancestor was Margaret (Peggy) Biddy who married William Lewis Sams (they were my great, great, great grandparents).
Sine researchers say Margaret and Meshach were siblings - thus a sibling of Abendego. But information I have uncovered in the Eastern Cherokee applications of 1907-1908 indicate Margaret was a cousin to Meshach - thus a cousin to Abenego.

All applications on my Margaret line state their claim to money was through Johnathan Biddy. Researchers claim that Meshach and Abendego's father was Edmond Biddy,

One Blackwell application shows this information: Nicie Biddy, who was their line married Thomas Blackwell. It further states that Nicie was a Biddy and that her father was Meshach Biddy and that her mother was Sarah Ledbetter.
On their marriage license obtained here in Georgia she used the name Nicie Ledbetter, not Biddy.

My great, great, grandmother was named Martha Jane Ledbetter. She married John Sams. On the Eastern Cherokee applications their son, John Rufus Sams, claimed Jane's father was Meshach Biddy, and her mother was Sallie Ledbetter. On Martha Jane and John Sams marriage application she also used the name Ledbetter, not Biddy.

The 1850 Census of Georgia showed Jane living with Nicie (I believe they were sisters.) and her husband Thomas Blackwell.

As I stated above some researchers show Nicie as being a child of Meshach Biddy, but they do not show Martha Jane.
Is it possible that Meshach fathered two families, one from Nancy Ledbetter and the other from some relative to Nancy, Sarah Ledbetter.

It is all quite confusing. I wonder if you or your brother can shed any light on any of the above matters? Also who do you show as being Abendego's father/mother/grandparents?

Hope to hear from you soon. If you wish you can email me direct at snauzer@tds.net

Thank you for any help.

Sincerely,
Mrs. Barbara Sams Lewis

Re: ABEDNEGO BIDDY

2005-01-08 21:27:22Z

I have found some more documents about Abednego Biddy.
In the "Online HandBook of Texas" located at - www.tamu.edu/ccbn/dewitt/perrycrmem.htm
there are memoirs published by "Cicero Rufus Perry which mentions Abednego {Bednego Biddy} and how he was the reason Cannonsnap Creek" in Milam County got it's name.
Also I found a mention of Abednego in a book called "Savage Frontier Volume 1 1835-1837 Rangers, Rifflemen, and Indian Wars in Texas" by Stephen L Moore. In this book they say Abednego was Portuguese!
If anyone can provide more data on Abednego please contact me!
Thank you in advance!

John Richard Biddy

barbara lewis — 2005-07-26 21:13:20Z

Debbie, since you have information on John Richard Biddy I was wondering if you have anything on Mashack who was, I believe, John Richard's father. Also, do you know how Mashack and Jonathan Biddy of North Carolina were related?

Biddy Ancestory

barbara lewis — 2005-07-26 21:13:20Z

I am seeking information on Mashack Biddy who was born in the Carolinas about 1800-1808. I am also attempting to find his connection to Jonathan Biddy, who was supposedly Cherokee Indian. I am descended from Margaret (Peggy) Biddy who in 1831 married William Lewis Sams in Hall County, Georgia. I have read several messages in regard to an Abednigo Biddy. Although Mashack I believe Mashack came to Georgia in the early 1830's with two names like Mashack and Abednigo both from born in Carolina there must be some connection. Look forward to hearing from anyone who has information on the families of Jonathan and/or Mashack Biddy.

Biddy Ancestory

barbara lewis — 2005-07-26 21:13:20Z

Fred, Thanks a million for your information on Jonathan Mashack Biddy's families. Will try to write you and give my address.If you have any other details, I would appreciate all the information I can get. There are quite a number of us here in Ga. on the track of this family. I will try to share what I obtain with them.

Biddy Ancestory

barbara lewis — 2005-07-26 21:13:20Z

Fred, by this time you should have received my letter by mail. I am looking forward to receiving information on the Biddy family. My great, great, great grandparents were William Lewis Sams and Margaret (Peggy) Biddy who were maried in Hall County, Georgia on January 30, 1831. I have heard so much speculation from several individuals as to who was parents of whom, and who were the children of whom, if I listened to everything I would really be confused. Everyone seems to have different ideas. The information you send on the net matches what I had originally obtained from applications filled out in 1907-1908 when the government was to pay a sum of money to anyone who could prove Indian Ancestory, and I believe what you have to be correct. Some of our other Biddy relatives still in the North Georgia area are ancestors of both Mashack Biddy and Margaret (Peggy) Biddy Sams. We have had more than one marriage between the families of Biddy and Sams over the years.

Hope to hear from you soon by mail, since I am sure the information you have would be too much to put everything on the net.

JEJJD — 2006-01-23 20:37:23Z

Hi Allan,
does a Margaret Biddy from PA sound at all familar? She was born around 1880 or later (just assuming this due to families ages. ) She married a Neal Mc laughlin who I believe was from Donegal, they had 7 kids...3 girls, 4 boys -my dad being 1 of them. my grampa neal died in the mid 60's.
