Surnames: Biggers/Wolf/Stephens/Estes Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/mV.2ADI/612 Message Board Post: I am researching the Biggers line from Ash Flat Ark. I believe my g-g-grandmother was Martha E. Biggers, b. 1839, wife of Thomas V. Stephens, b.1838. I would like to confirm that belief, and find out any other information on their ancestors. Their daughter may have been Martha Ellen Stephens 1873-1938. She married Rufus Allen Wolf (son of Enoch O. Wolf), and they had a daughter, Martha Eviza Wolf who married Arles Estes (my grandfather). I have read the "Ash Flat History" which mentions Robert Monroe Biggers, 1859 Tenn -- 1941 CA, and Robert S. Biggers. But it does not connect either one to Martha E. Does anyone have info on them? Thank you very much, Stew Estes

I had been refering to My Jackson line and how it is related to the Spurlocks and Simpsons. Please go through all the related postings here(about 4 or 5 posts) and that should clear things up. I do not know how the Collins surname came up. I do not know of any Collins that are related to my line right now. My computer has been in the Shop so i am sorry for any delays in answering e-mail.

David Orr was my gg grandfather. He was born in Ky and came first to Mo about 1820 then into Ar. about five years later. He preached in Lawrence Co, Fulton Co, and other counties. He died in 1849, at Franklin Ar. He was Baptist and helped start several of the early churches in that area. I have more info if you need it.
