This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/WCE.2ACIB/1103.3.1.1 Message Board Post: It was not my intention to suggest that the Rev War patriot Robert Biggs, b ca 1753 or whatever, was the same man as your Robert, who, as your query had indicated, was born sometime in the early 1800's. The Rev patriot Robert Biggs is the one who married Jane Miller. A study of their descendancy chart at the WorldConnect Project, and a tracking of their descendants from KY up to IN should convince you that this Rev patriot Robert Biggs, who died in Clark Co IN, was an ancestor of your Robert who married Susan and lived in Vigo Co IN. Documentation is needed, of course, but it looks highly likely to me that Robert and "Susannah" are your Robert and Susan, that they married in Spencer Co KY within a couple years of the marriage of Elizabeth Biggs and Robert Richey, and that the two couples came up to Vigo Co IN and settled close to each other. They're very close neighbors on the census. Robert Biggs and Elizabeth (Biggs) Richey were probably either brother and sister or first cousins. The WorldConnect Project indicates Elizabeth was a first cousin of the Robert who married "Susannah" Compton. Whether they were siblings or cousins is a problem that needs to be researched and verified. Check with the WorldConnect submitter to see the proof. The WorldConnect submission birth date for Robert and your birth date for him conflict, and each needs to be verified to determine whether or not they're two different men. (As I say, I doubt if they are.) Your Robert Biggs and his neighbor Mrs. Elizabeth Richey were, in my opinion, almost certainly grandchildren of Robert Biggs (Rev patriot)and Jane (Miller) Biggs of Clark Co IN. According to the WorldConnect Project, Robert who married "Susannah" was the son of John, and Elizabeth Richey was the daughter of John's brother Andrew. John and Andrew were sons of Robert Biggs and Jane (Miller) Biggs. Contact the many folks involved with this family and see what they have to say. Their names and addresses are at the WorldConnect Project, and at the Biggs and Crist Family Genealogy Forums. WorldConnect is found by clicking "Searches" at the top of these Rootsweb pages. A web site for the cemetery that Robert and Jane (Miller) Biggs are buried in in Clark Co IN said that Robert had lived in Westmoreland Co PA before going to Shelby Co KY and later to Clark Co IN. (Shelby Co KY borders Spencer Co KY.) Good luck.
