HENRY BIGGS - OSCEOLA, NEBRASKA

stevepowell149 — 5 Sep 2008 8:09:14 GMT

Hi,
I'm researching descendants of Henry Biggs who emigrated to the USA from England around 1866, and died in Osceola, Polk Co, Nebraska in 1921. The 1900 USA census has him married to Susanna Cotton. He may have been married to Jane ( surname unknown ) before that, but seems to have lived all his time in Polk County.
Susanna is noted as the mother of 6 children, but I don't know if Henry is their father.
If this is the same man, Henry is one of my great grandmother's brothers ( another brother Joseph, also emigrated to the USA ), so it would be great to make some connections with any of his descendants.
Cheers, Steve ( across the pond ).

Will of John BIGG [John Biggs Sr.], Norfolk Co VA, proved 1696/7

oxdrover — 21 Apr 2008 2:55:11 GMT

Transcription, using modern spelling, of the Will of John Bigg of Norfolk Co VA, proved 19 March 1696/7. Recorded in Norfolk County, Virginia, Will and Deed Book No. 6, page 77.

[TRANSCRIBER'S NOTE: John Bigg is John Biggs Sr., ancestor of the North Carolina Biggs family that started out in the northeastern part of the state. In addition to the spelling, punctuation has been changed and paragraphing added. Where abbreviations and symbols were used in the original, words are written out. This is not an exact transcription and should not be described as such. Please do not post it to other web sites. The purpose of this version is only to make the will easier to read.]

In the Name of God, Amen.

I, JOHN BIGG of Elizabeth River in the County of Norfolk in Virginia, being often sick and weak in body, but now of good and perfect memory -- laud and praise be to the Almighty God -- knowing that I am naturally born and ordained to die and to pass from this mortal world and transitory life, minding to put in order all and singular my estate both real and personal,

to the intent there should be no strife for the same after my decease, do therefore first of all, after thanks given to Almighty God for His great benefits, desire and pray my children and all others to be contented with my last will and testament without any trouble, business or vexation of any of them against the other for any of my said estate, as they will answer for the same before the Judgment Seat of Almighty God, who is the rewarder of all good persons and a severe judge and revenger of all those that do evil,

and to avoid all occasions of charges* I revoke and renounce all former and other wills and testaments whatsoever heretofore by me made by word, writing or otherwise, and make and ordain this to be my very last and only will and testament for and concerning all my said estate both real and personal in manner and form following, that is to say,

First, I commend my soul to Almighty God and to His son, Jesus Christ, my Savior and Redeemer, and to the Holy Ghost, three persons and one God, most humbly beseeching the most holy and blessed Trinity to have mercy upon my soul and to pardon and forgive me all my sins and offenses so that I may after this life arise with the elect and have life and fruition of the Godhead by the death and passion of our Savior Jesus Christ,

and I will that my body be decently buried according to the disposition of my executor hereafter named.

(All that in the margins* was written before my will was signed).

I will that all my debts be well and truly contented and paid.

I give and bequeath to my son JOHN BIGG (whom I do hereby make, ordain and appoint to be my sole, only and absolute and lawful heir, and do utterly debar and make void the claim or claims of any person or persons whatsoever that shall pretend any right or title thereunto) all my estate both real and personal, except such legacies hereafter mentioned, that is to say,

I give him, my said son, JOHN BIGG, all my land I am now possessed of, viz., my manor plantation and all the land belonging to the same, and all houses, gardens, orchards, wood land and all cleared ground and all other appurtenances thereunto belonging, including a small parcel of land that GEORGE WHIDBY lives upon by my permission during his life, also the land which my son JABEZ held in his lifetime by patent bearing date the 23rd day of April 1682*, which said land is also my proper right, all which, with the land I hold now by my own patent bearing date the 21st day of April, A. D. 1690, I give to my said son, JOHN BIGG, and his heirs forever, in as large and ample manner to all intents and purposes as is expressed in the patent aforesaid, to have and to hold the said plantation and land with the appurtenances unto the said JOHN BIGG, my son, and the heirs of his body lawfully begotten, the heirs male first to take place and so in order,

but if my said son JOHN shall die without issue as aforesaid, then my land with the appurtenances to my grandson JOHN WHIDBY and the heirs of his body lawfully begotten, the male first and then the female, and for lack of such issue, then to descend to my grandson GEORGE WHIDBY and his heirs lawfully begotten, and for lack of such issue, then to descend to the rest of my daughter ELIZABETH's children and their heirs, the male first to take place and so successively, as aforesaid, and for want of such issue, then to my daughter KATHERINE MERCER's children and their heirs, the male first always to take place, and for want thereof the female, and their heirs, and for lack of such issue, to the next right heirs of me, the said JOHN BIGG, the father, forever,

but if my son JOHN BIGG have children lawfully begotten as aforesaid, or in defect thereof my grandson JOHN WHIDBY, or for lack thereof the said GEORGE WHIDBY, in defect thereof any of the heirs aforementioned, meant or hereby intended, lawfully begotten as aforesaid, are at their own liberty to give the said land to which they like best of their children, either male or female,

but if my son JOHN BIGG have lawful issue and die intestate, then my land aforesaid to fall and descend to his children, whether male or female, the male first and so successively; the meaning is that if the male die, the female to take place.

I give and bequeath to my son THOMAS BIGG, my daughters ANN FAUX, KATHERINE MERCER, ELIZABETH WHIDBY, JOANE SIKES, PHOEBE BIGG, DOROTHY BIGG, to each of them I give twelve pence or one shilling lawful money of England or the value thereof in goods,

and I do also give unto my son-in-law MATHEW CASWELL and my grandchildren JOHN HASSOLD and MARTHA, FRANCIS, WILLIAM, JABEZ, JEAN and MATHEW CASWELL, to each of them twelve pence or one shilling Sterling money or the value thereof in goods, all the aforesaid legacies to be paid by six months after my decease if the same be lawfully demanded;

and this to be the full share, part and portion for each of these persons above named of all my whole estate both real and personal, and the reason why I give them or each of them no more is for their disobedience and other material matters known to myself. (This line was erased before signing.)

Item, I do hereby make, ordain and appoint my son JOHN BIGG to be my full, whole and only executor of this, my last will and testament, hereby revoking all former wills heretofore by me made, and to take full and absolute possession after my decease of all my estate both real and personal to the use of himself and his lawful issue, he paying those legacies afore bequeathed, and if my son JOHN should die before proof of this will, his wife to act as executrix, but on the behalf of his lawful issue.

In witness whereof I, the said JOHN BIGGS, have subscribed this, my last will and testament, with my own hand and thereunto put my seal this 4th day of September, A. D. 1694.

/s/JOHN BIGG {seal}

Signed, sealed and delivered
in the presence of us, viz.:

JOHN PORTLOCK
THOMAS NASH (mark)
THOMAS ETHERIDGE
JOSEPH HODGES
REBEKA HODGES
WILLIAM MAUND (mark)
WILLIAM ETHERIDGE (his E mark)

Proved in court 15th March 1696/7 by the oaths of:

JOSEPH HODGES, JOHN PORTLOCK, THOMAS NASH, THOMAS ETHERIDGE
(and many others) and is ordered to be recorded.

Test: Malachi Thruston, Cl.
=========================
* NOTES:

"occasions of charges" is written as such in the recorded will, but the purpose of the statement is to avoid any "changes" that might arise to stipulations in the present will based on what the testator might have indicated to the contrary in earlier wills or otherwise. Other wills use the terms "occasions of changes" or "variance".

The year of Jabez' patent is given as 1688 in online transcriptions of this will, but when magnified it looks more like 1682.

The spelling of Whidby is used in this transcription, but the name appears in the will also as Whitby. George Whidby is recorded in some early documents as Whedbee. Information online indicates John Hassold's descendants use the spelling Hassell. Faux also spelled Fewox. Sikes also Sykes.

The names of the "many others" whose oaths proved John's will were not specified.

The will's marginal notes were few, and unintelligible on microfilm. One concerned John Jr. and wife and executorship. Better success at deciphering these notes might be had by reading the will book in person. LDS filming was done in 1950 at the Norfolk Co Courthouse, Portsmouth VA. Film number is 0032827, Norfolk Co VA Deeds & Wills, v. 6, 1695-1703.

BIGGS, Lower Norfolk VA and Craven Co., NC.

oxdrover — 9 Mar 2008 10:37:54 GMT

Surnames: Biggs, Whitehurst, Carraway, Morris, Bond, Bright, Etheridge, Hall, Neale

[This message was posted to the Craven Co NC message board in answer to a query re John Biggs, who left a will in that county dated 1769 or 1779.)

I'll venture some suspicions - for what they're worth - about the origin of this John Biggs, who I'll call John (II). I suspect that he was born around 1710 and died around 1779, that his father may have been John Biggs (I), and that John (I), possibly in the company of Richard Whitehurst, came to Craven Co NC from Lower Norfolk VA. Their names appear on Craven Co tax lists in 1719. See the lists at

http://newbern.cpclib.org/research/1719craven.htm

Other records indicate the Richard "Whithorse" and "Whithouse" in the lists is actually Richard Whitehurst. Later records spell the name "Whitus".

According to records of the Carraway family at

http://familytreemaker.genealogy.com/users/o/v/e/Frances-A-O...

two men named Whitehurst married Carraway girls in Lower Norfolk in 1703 and 1710. Two brothers of these girls moved to Craven County. By the time of the 1790 census there were several Carraway households in the area John Biggs and Richard Whitehurst had settled in.

Abstracts of the will of Susannah Green of Craven Precinct, Bath County, online at

http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~jrbakerjr/ncarolina...

and at

http://books.google.com/books?id=f6I4AAAAIAAJ&pg=PA141&a......

show the will was written 29 Jun 1732 and probated 17 Sep 1735. Mentions her son John Biggs' children, her daughter Mary Morris and granddaughters Susannah Morris and Mary Biggs. Executors were John Biggs and Robert Bond. Witnesses Robert Bond and William Bright. See the Bright genealogy at

http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~paday/dobbers/brigh...

William Bright's birth is estimated at 1702. His father was John Bright of Lower Norfolk. John owned land there adjacent to Thomas Etheridge, who is quite likely the man by that name who in 1694 witnessed the will of the immigrant John Biggs. Thomas was undoubtedly a close relative of the John Etheridge who married Eleanor Bright and in 1744 left a will in Currituck Co NC mentioning his daughter Sarah Biggs. According to a submission to the WorldConnect Project, William Bright was a first cousin of Eleanor (Bright) Etheridge.

A Google search for "Biggs" and "Craven" yielded this web page:

http://efab.edmonson.org/archives/128081.htm

which shows that Elizabeth, daughter of Joseph Edmondson of Craven County, married a Biggs by 1743. Elsewhere on the page it says she married John Biggs. I suspect this would be John (II), son of John (I) who appears in the tax list. John (I)'s age in 1719 is hard to estimate, but he was old enough to be taxable.

The name John Biggs appears on militia rolls in Craven County in the mid 1700's.

http://www.mindspring.com/~jsruss/colonial/Shine1754.htm
http://www.mindspring.com/~jsruss/colonial/Shore1760s.htm

This militiaman may be John III, who may have been born around 1730, and may be the old John Biggs who died in Craven Co in 1812, according to the web site at
http://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/nc/craven/obits/b/biggs... .

The 1800 Craven census shows the only John Biggs in the county as being over 45 years of age; same for a William Biggs. The 1790 Craven census lists John Biggs, and William Biggs Sr. and Jr.

A query at http://genforum.genealogy.com/whitehurst/messages/794.html

says John Biggs Jr. of Craven Co married the widow of Benjamin Hall, who d ca 1771. Whether this is John II or John III I don't know.

The year on John Biggs' will is not clear, but after a close examination I believe it's 1779. Christopher Neale, C.C., ordered the will recorded, but the original will was filed among "Loose Papers". Judging from the dates on some online Craven County records, Neale served as county clerk from at least the mid 1760's to the early 1780's.

Your query lists John's children as John, James, William, Kesiah, Elizabeth and Ruth. If I'm seeing what I think I'm seeing in the hard-to-decipher will, I gather that son John was the father of the two grandsons, John and Frederick, and I see sons named James and William and a daughter Ruth Biggs. I'm not sure I have all pages of the will, so I don't know if I have all the children's names that are mentioned in it. If you have a copy of the will that shows the names Kesiah and Elizabeth, could you please send me a scanned image of that page?

David Biggs (c1798-1883) was born in NC and went West to trade with the Cherokees by 1812 and located in what is now Oklahoma at Bayou Menard. He married Martha Chisholm daughter of a trader Ignatius Chisholm and a Cherokee woman Lucretia Parris. Martha "Patsy" married David Biggs and moved with him to Cherokee County, Texas in the 1840s. The family owned land in Ellis County as well and moved to California around 1852. David established a large livestock operation in Tulare County. Documentation of him after 1870 is very sketchy.

Children of David & Martha (Chisholm) Biggs:

Dewitt Clinton Biggs married Mary Busick; Miner in Kern County, CA. Had issue.

Benjamin Franklin Biggs "Bennett" married Martha A. See; two children settled in Long Beach, CA: Martha Jane Hubel and Bennett.

Margaret A. Biggs (1835-1870) married James Britton Johnson in Ellis County, Texas. Settled in Santa Clara County, CA had issue.

Mary Jane Biggs (c1836/7-by 1884) married Ebenezer Webster Heath (1832-1916) had three children: Franklin, Charles, Olive. Olive registered with teh Cherokee tribe.

John Duncan Biggs (1841-1919) married Louisa Leah See and was a rancher in San Luis Obispo, CA. Raised a large family.

David Biggs (1841-1892) married Leah F. Faulkes. Rancher in White Pines Co., Nevanda. Died without children.

Jacquelina Biggs (1844-1887) marreid Samuel Houston King. the family removed to Indian Territory and lived briefly among the Cherokee before going to Golden, NM and later Arizona. Had a large family.

Christopher Columbus Biggs "Bud" (1846-1876). Married in Clawell, TX to Sarah A. Carst and died in Atoka County, OK.

Narcissa Biggs (1850-1918) married Jacob See of San Luis Obispo. She had a large family in that area.

I am interested in any information people can provide. I am most interested in family papers and photographs as well as any oral family history.

James B. BARLOW and Sarah (BIGGS) BARLOW

kemdee12 — 27 Feb 2008 7:17:13 GMT

I am looking for information re James B. Barlow and Sarah Biggs Barlow. He was born ca 1795 in Robeson County, NC, possibly in Fayetteville and Sarah Biggs, born ca 1805-1812, also in Fayetteville, Robeson County, NC. I was hoping someone would be kind enough to do a marriage look up for me. What I need to know is when they were married, who married them,(rumor has it a Barlow family member married them), when they were married, etc. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Also, if anyone has any information about Sarah Biggs and her ancestry is needed. Thank you very much!

James BIGGS m Martha JUDD 1849 Vermilion Co IL > Carthage, Jasper Co MO

oxdrover — 23 Feb 2008 12:26:35 GMT

JAMES BIGGS, born ca 1824 probably in TN (1860 census says b NC), died after 1870 census, probably in either Daviess Co or Caldwell Co MO; married in Vermilion Co IL 28 Oct 1849 Martha Ellen "Marsey" Judd, b 5 May 1828 KY, d 14 Oct 1912 Carthage, Jasper Co MO, buried Park Cem. The 1850 census of Vermilion Co IL shows the household of John Biggs, b ca 1805 TN, followed immediately by that of William Judd, b ca 1795 KY.

James and Martha are listed in Vermilion Co IL in the 1850 census, in Holt Co MO 1860 and in Daviess Co MO 1870. In the Holt Co census, Alexander Judd 24 IN is in James' household. He is quite possibly the Alexander Judd listed as 16 KY in William Judd's household in Vermilion Co 1850.

Martha, widow, is listed with children in Breckenridge, Caldwell Co MO, in 1880, and in Carthage, Jasper Co MO in 1900 and 1910. In the mid-1850's the family was in Iowa. A son was born in Decatur Co, Iowa, in 1858. Judging by the birthplaces of other children, the family spent the Civil War years somewhere in Indiana - seemingly at Terre Haute, in Vigo County - and returned to Missouri by 1869. Martha's obituary said she was the mother of 12 children. The names of nine are known: John, Ellen RHOADS, William, James, Rhoda BURRESS, Charles, Sophia "Vira" RUTTAN, Mary and Levi.

Children:

1. John Franklin Biggs, b in Illinois 15 Nov 1851, according to death cert. 1850 census shows a John aged 4 months. He died 10 Apr 1927 in St. Catherine, Linn Co MO; buried Old New Garden Cem two miles west of St. Catherine. Married sometime after the 1880 census Anna "Nannie" Wright, b ca 1864 or Jan 1860 in Indiana. The 1910 Linn Co census shows her as the mother of 13 children, only 4 of whom were living in 1910. Children, from 1900 census:

a) Emma Biggs, b 1890;

b) Dora Biggs, b Sep 1891; and

c) Myrtle Biggs, b Oct 1893.

The 1910 Linn Co census shows a daughter Rosa, age 17, who may be the same person as Dora. Only other child in household then is Myrtle, listed as 15.

2. Ellen Elizabeth "Nellie" Biggs, b Jan 1858 in Iowa. Listed as Elizabeth on 1860-1880 censuses and as Ellen in 1900 and 1910. Married first in Livingston Co MO on 6 Feb 1876 to Richard G. Hughes, b ca 1852 OH; m/2 ca 1889 Dr. August Rhoads, b Aug 1838 OH. Rhoads was 1st Sgt of Co F, 8th Indiana Infantry, during the Civil War, for which service Ellen received a widow's pension. She is listed as the mother of no children in 1900; of 1 child, none living, in 1910. In the Rhoads household at Carthage in 1900 were Mollie Biggs, b Jan 1870 IL IL OH, described as August's "sister-in-law", and Nellie Biggs, b Mar 1886, listed as "ward". At Carthage in 1910 Ellen has her mother and Mollie in her household. Mollie is described there as Ellen's cousin. [A WorldConnect Project submission on August and Ellen Rhoads reports that Ellen is listed in the 1930 census at Los Angeles CA. On examination, the Ellen Rhoads found who was close in age had her middle initial recorded variously as P and R, and her death record shows her born 18 Mar 1858 in Illinois, died in Los Angeles 7 Jul 1850, father's last name Crow and mother's maiden name Brockman.]

3. William Harvey Biggs, b 27 Feb 1858 Decatur Co, Iowa, d 11 Feb 1925 Jasper Co MO, bur Arthur Cem; m ca 1894 Nancy Minerva Simpkins, b 23 Jan 1873 Fort Scott KS, d 24 Sep 1951 Carthage, Jasper Co MO, bur Arthur Cem, daughter of William M. Simpkins (or Simkins) and Lydia S. Roath. No children in 1900-1920 censuses. Nancy was a sister of Rachel Simpkins, who married William's brother Charles W. Biggs.

4. James A. Biggs, b Mar 1861 MO, m/1 in Daviess Co MO 2 Mar 1883 Rachel Hobbs, b ca 1862, daughter of William K. Hobbs and Drushane Gibson; m/2 at Carthage MO 10 Jan 1898 Margery Eveline Bowers, b 13 Sep 1861 MO, d 12 Aug 1918, bur Mitchell Cem, Jasper Co MO. Her father, George F. Bowers (1827-1909), was a lieutenant in Co C, 15th Missouri Cavalry, during the Civil War. In 1900 James and Margery lived Jasper Co MO; in 1905 Grant Township, Neosho Co KS; in 1910 Crawford Co KS, which touches corners with Jasper Co. James' children were:

a) Charles W. Biggs, b 6 Jan 1883 Daviess Co MO (b Jan 1884 according to 1900 census), d 29 Aug 1941 Carthage MO, bur Park Cem; m Maggie Young, b 14 Aug 1881 Viola KS, d 20 Oct 1935 Carthage MO, bur Park Cem, daughter of Ben Young and Elizabeth Gawthrop.

b) Conda R. Biggs, b 29 May 1886 Daviess Co MO, d 18 Jan 1954 Orange Co CA; m Mary W., b ca 1892 Scotland. Orange Co 1930 census shows daughter Isabell Biggs, b ca 1920 Canada.

d) August Biggs, b 6 Feb 1891 Breckenridge MO, d Jun 1965, with last Social Security payment sent to an unspecified location in Kansas. Kansas 1915 state census shows Aug Biggs and wife Florence at Kanopolis; 1930 in Dickinson Co KS with son George L. Biggs, b ca 1928.

Lela Jowers BIGGS (Alabama)

white3377 — 23 Feb 2008 12:42:13 GMT

My grandparents on my mother's side is Lessie Myrl Biggs (1914-1992) & Jay Theron Whatley (1915-1979) of Andalusia, AL, married in 1935 in Covington County. Race is white. My Great Grandparents were Herbert Jonathan Biggs (1890-1968) & Lela Jowers (dates unknown) and Jay Pearson Whatley (1891-1973) & Cora Ann Elizabeth Bence (1895-1973). I am looking for people that may know my Great Grandparents extended families. All lived and died within Covington County. I know I have seen different spellings for Herbert, such as Hurbert, Hubbard, etc. I remember his friends calling him Hubbard. Lela Jowers was the mother of 2 with Herbert-- Lessie Myrl (1914-1992) & Clifton (1913-1993). The only thing I was told about Lela Jowers is that she died soon after Lessie was born. Guessing Lela's age, probably born around 1894 and died between 1914 (at Lessie's birth) and 1917. After Lela's death, Herbert Biggs (with their children) remarried and raised the children in Covington County. I would love to connect with anyone knowing any of the people mentioned. Lela is special, my line stops with her, I know nothing. So anyone know her?? Most of the Whatley's came from Tallapoosa County, AL. The Biggs were from Covington. All have a Covington County Alabama connection.

Geo. Wm. BIGGS in NJ

sandylawsonrn — 30 Dec 2007 3:49:03 GMT

I am looking for parents of George Wm Biggs who married Lucinda Marvin in Stillwater, Sussex, NJ in 1850. He later moved to Monroe Co. Pa. He is listed in 1850 census with "Lucy" (probably wife) & Elizabeth Biggs (probably his mother). Probable birthdate is March 1825 in NJ. I seemed to have hit a dead end with him. He does not seem to match up with the Bigg's inHunterdon or Somerset Counties. There also was a Geo. Bigs (different spelling) & Elizabeth Talhan listed in the same marriage index about 20 years earlier. They could possibly his parents but I have not found any other information about them.

Anyone out there have Bigg's from Sussex Co, NJ?

PLEASE NOTE, THIS WAS POSTED FOR REFERENCE ONLY. I AM NOT RELATED TO, NOR AM I RESEARCHING THIS FAMILY, I’VE ONLY DONE A COPY AND PASTE FROM OUR LOCAL NEWSPAPER FYI.

THIS INFO HAS BEEN POSTED WITH THE PERMISSION OF THE EDITOR OF THE COLUMBIA BASIN HERALD.

RoseMarie "Billie" Biggs
Posted: Friday, Jul 06, 2007 - 05:14:45 pm PDT
COLUMBIA BASIN HERALD, MOSES LAKE, WASHINGTON STATE

RoseMarie "Billie" Biggs was bom May 9, 1929, in Bremerton, Wash., to James and Grace Phillips. She passed away on June 27, 2007, at Providence Everett Medical Center in Everett, at the age of 78.

She moved to Ruff with her late husband James Biggs and took over operation of the Ruff Store from her mother, Grace Gant. They later moved to Marlin and purchased and ran the Marlin Tavern. After her husband James passed away, she purchased the Hartline Recreation Cafe. Later in life she worked at several mini marts in Moses Lake.

Billie lived a long and happy life. She was a friend to everyone she met. If anyone needed help, Billie was always right there to lend a helping hand. It was impossible for Billie to pass up a yard sale, even if on vacation. She was always on the lookout for a treasure for herself, one of her kids or a friend. She enjoyed passing the time away, sitting outside soaking up the sun. She always loved doing yard work and taking care of her house plants.

1st Lt. Cecil W. Biggs, of Teague, Texas WW II Missing Airman Identified

I_Volunteer — 3 May 2007 11:49:28 GMT

On the Web:
http://www.defenselink.mil/releases/release.aspx?releaseid=1...

IMMEDIATE RELEASE No. 523-07
May 02, 2007
Five Missing WWII Airmen are Identified

The Department of Defense POW/Missing Personnel Office (DPMO) announced today that the remains of five U.S. servicemen, missing from World War II, have been identified and are being returned to their families for burial with full military honors.

(see link for complete release)

They are 1st Lt. Cecil W. Biggs, of Teague, Texas; . . . Biggs will be buried June 9 in Teague, Texas;

Representatives from the Army met with the next-of-kin of these men in their hometowns to explain the recovery and identification process and to coordinate interment with military honors on behalf of the secretary of the Army.

On Sept. 21, 1944, a C-47A Skytrain crewed by these airmen was delivering Polish paratroopers to a drop zone south of Arnhem, Holland, in support of "Operation Market Garden." Soon after departing the drop zone, the plane crashed and there were no survivors. The Germans opened the dikes in the region where the plane crashed and flooded the area before any remains could be recovered.

When Dutch citizens returned to their homes in Arnhem the next year, they recovered remains from the Skytrain's wreckage and buried them in a nearby cemetery. A U.S. Army graves registration team later disinterred the remains which were reburied as group remains in 1950 at the Zachary Taylor National Cemetery in Kentucky.

In 1994, a Dutch citizen located more human remains and other crew-related materials at a site associated with this C-47 crash. They were eventually turned over to U.S. officials.

Among dental records, other forensic identification tools and circumstantial evidence, scientists from the Joint POW/MIA Accounting Command and the Armed Forces DNA Identification Laboratory also used mitochondrial DNA in the identification of the remains of these five men. The remains that could not be attributed to a specific individual have been buried with the first set of group remains at the Zachary Taylor National Cemetery.

For additional information on the Defense Department's mission to account for missing Americans, visit the DPMO Web site at http://www.dtic.mil/dpmo or call (703) 699-1169.

I have 4 photos of Robert "Bob" Biggs, who served in Company A, 2nd Medical Battalion with my husband's grandfather.

These photos were taken in Germany - in Volk near their billets and near a pond.

I would love to reunite these photos with family. Problem is, Robert Biggs is a common name, and over 30 men with that name enlisted for WWII.

So if the company and battalion ring a bell, let me know!

Edward Smith BIGGS of Barking and Emmetts 1764 and family

vanessa253 — 10 Jan 2007 4:59:10 GMT

Edward is the uncle of my ancestor Lewis James Biggs. Edward loved Barking, Essex where he was born and was buried. He also lived at Emmetts, Kent and left a will in the Kew archives. A monument tablet is in the abbey there. Edward was the son of James and Elizabeth Biggs of Barking. If anyone thinks they are connected to this family of Biggs' I would be interested to expand my family tree.

Lewis inherited Edward's property, left a will in archives as well and lived in Kensington and his family descent is thin, accept for my great grandmother, his younger daughter, Catherine. I have a dead end on the other siblings, Edward John Alfred Biggs, Lewis Alves Biggs, Louise Lalande Biggs married under age at 15. Mary died a spinster probably.

Robert BIGGS / Will HAYS

Rod Crist — 6 Nov 2006 10:34:45 GMT

In 1876, Louisville, KY composer Will S. [William Shakespeare] Hays published a piece of sheet music entitled, "Angels Meet Me at the Cross Roads". This music bore the inscription, "To Robert Biggs, Louisville, Ky." Which Robert Biggs was this? What was the relationship to Will Hays? I do know Hays was used as a middle name for some Biggs children. BTW, this music may be viewed at the American Memory section of the Library of Congress.

New Jersey: John O. Biggs, Nicholas Ott, Ann Laberteaux connection

Jen — 27 May 2003 7:37:24 GMT

I have found my great-great-grandmother's parents in the Readington Twp., Hunterdon Co., NJ 1850 census.

John O. Biggs (43) & Sarah Ann (39), with children Margaret Ann (16), and two sons (both 9) . . . and Helen Biggs (29) are residing at the home of Nicholas (83) & Sarah (78) Ott. I am assuming Helen is John's sister.

I have found a 1826 marriage record for John O. Biggs & Ann Laberteaux. If Ann and Sarah Ann are the same person, she would have been about 15 at the time of her marriage. I have found a 1848 marriage record for Sarah Ott Biggs and Jacques Quick. It states that Sarah's parents are John O. Biggs and Ann Laberteaux.

There is also the issue that both Sarah Ott (Biggs) Quick & Margaret Ann (Biggs) Phillips migrated to Virginia in 1870 with their husbands and children.

I must assume that there is a definite connection here. My theory is that Nicholas and Sarah Ott are the grandparents of either John O. or Sarah Ann (aka Ann Laberteaux?). I have been unsuccessful in finding a will, marriage record, or other documentation to verify this. (Marriage between Ott & Biggs or Ott and Laberteaux, for instance).

I am willing to share what little I have with anyone who is pursuing this same family line. I would appreciate any tidbits anyone has to offer, as well. Please email me jenpch@aol.com

SuzieNash34 — 2 Jun 2005 7:43:32 GMT

Looking for information on Elijah H. Biggs, born in 1836, a shoemaker living in Frederick, Maryland. He was married twice: (1) H. Elizabeth Virginia Crown, 1841-1872; they were married at the Reformed Church in 1863 and had two daughters, Nellie and Ida May; (2) Clara V., born 1854. Elijah and Clara had children: Mary N., 1875; Charles F., 1877; Alice Y., 1879 and in the 1910 census he and Clara appear with children at home, Ruth, age 20, and George, age 18.

I believe that Nellie Biggs married Charles Smith and had a large family but I don't know if they remained in the Frederick, MD area.
