The only information I have at present is CLINNIE OTTO BIGGS married Ethel Sawyer. CLINNIE OTTO BIGGS was the son of CHARLES BIGGS. They were from the Norfolk area of Virginia. Does anyone have the name CLINNIE?

I have a letter from my great grandfather stating that our William Biggs came to America as a British soldier; defected and stayed saying "by God this country is good enough for me". The letter continues saying that he lived on the Monocacy river in Frederick COunty, MD. There were lots of Biggs in that area but I can't connect to them. I have found him in Monongalia County, VA in 1773 through land grant and he died there in 1806. Hope this is helpful.

Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/WCE.2ACIB/26.1.1 Message Board Post: Kerry, I am researching a Biggs also, a Robert Biggs. The local histories state that he was of Scotch-Irish descent. I have attempted, on the computer, to find out is the Biggs name was common to either area. But I found out very little. It seems that many Scots went to Ireland for political reasons. Therefore, I feel that maybe Biggs was a Scot name. All this is based on my historical info being correct. I do know that my Robert married a Jane (Ann) Miller who was supposedly born in Scotland; her parents were. My Robert's father may have been a John Biggs. I know nothing about his parents and siblings really. I was hoping that maybe I verify him as being born in an area where the name was not common; maybe it would be easier to research. He is first noted in Westmoreland County PA where there are others of Scottish origin.
