Hi Les. I graduated from Thompsonville High School in 1974 and my maiden name is Knight. Do you remember me and did you have a sister named Susan? I have been researching some of my ancestors and was looking for messages about Thompsonville and saw your name.

Ran across this & more just the other day about Piety Biggs in Familysearch.org Show Piety Biggs #1471, Compact Disc #66, PIN #788756, born 1805, daughter of David & Francis Biggs. Shows brothers as William, Seaton, Leroy, Jackson, Allen, Hardy, David (Jr.), sisters-Salinda L., Nancy, Bashaby. But what interested me, you stated Piety living with William G. Smith in 1870 in Washington Co., ARK. My Grandfather & Grandmother were married there in 1896. G-Grandfather was there also. [Buried at West-Fork, ARK.] I am descendant of David through William. Check this out and if it seems to fit please contact me for more information and we can exchange and fill in some gaps. Living in Okmulgee, OK.,,South of Tulsa. rabiggs4243@sbcglobal.net is e-mail address. Will await your response. Thank You, Ralph Biggs

Hello Claudia, Came across your posting today (9-15-09). Have been having computer problems and just now getting back up. Yes, Please use my e-mail address as given - rabiggs4243@sbcglobal.net - Have really tore the Biggs' lineage apart! I think it has been failed to Document in the past. What I have, I use Documentation, then throw in the speculation of others. I've tried to correct most of it, but no one wants to follow it. Up to you, if you want to contact me. Thank You, Ralph Biggs

HI RALPH SAW YOUR POST. I HAVE BEEN DOING WORK ON THIS LINE, ELIJAH SR ETAL.
I CANNOT PROVE MY THEORY, BUT I BELIEVE ELIJAH SR WAS S/O JOHN BIGGS SR. JOHN SR LIVED IN NASH CO NC AT THE TIME ELIJAH SR WAS DRAFTED INTO RW FROM NASH CO, ALSO JOHN JR AND SOPHIA. [THAT PART I CAN PROVE]
BY 1820, WHEN ELIJAH IS IN SIMPSON CO KY, JOHN SR AND FAMILY ARE IN SUMNER AND ROBERTSON CO TN. JOHN SR AND JR BOUGHT LAND ON RED RIVER, IN THE TWO COUNTIES IN 1804. RED RIVER RUNS TO OR FROM SIMPSON CO KY, I BELIEVE.
JOHN SR, I BELIEVE, IS NOT LISTED IN SUMNER CENSUS 1820, BUT IS THE OLDER COUPLE AT DAVID BIGGS'S HOME. THE JOHN LISTED MUST BE JOHN JR, WHO APPEARS TO HAVE DIED BEFORE 1830.
BY 1830 JOHN SR AND OTHERS ARE IN LINCOLN CO TN, INCLUDING ABRAHAM MARTIN, WHO m MOURNING BIGGS b 1792 EDGECOMBE CO NC. IN 1792 JOHN SR LIVED ON SAPPONY CREEK IN NASH CO VERY NEAR THE EDGECOMBE LINE.
IN THE WILL OF FRANCIS SOWARD, PROVEN 1777 EDENTON, CHOWAN CO NC HE NAMES ONE DAUGHTER WILLIANE BIGGS. I THINK SHE WAS LIKELY JOHN SR'S FIRST WIFE AND MOTHER OF ELIJAH SR, JOHN JR, AND SOPHIA. MOURNING'S PARENTS MAY HAVE BEEN JOHN SR AND HIS SECOND WIFE [NAME UNK] OR SHE COULD HAVE BEEN D/O JOHN JR, HE BEING b NEAR THE SAME TIME AS ELIJAH.
I WENT TO NC AND STOPPED AT EVERY COURT HOUSE IN N.E. NC BUT COULD FIND NO EVIDENCE OF JOHN SR EVER BEING THERE.
IT IS MY BELIEF THAT JOHN SR IS THE ELDEST SON OF JAMES BIGGS d 1767/8 CURRITUCK CO NC, THOUGH SOME WOULD ARGUE WITH ME.
I HAVE OTHER CLUES THAT LEAD ME DOWN THIS ROAD, OF OTHER FAMILY CONNECTIONS, AND AM LOOKING FOR SOME PROOF.
ANYONE INTERESTED CAN CONTACT ME AT biggsidahofalls@aol.com
