In response to the  request on 10/17 for "information about John BIGGS b. 1620 England, d. 1691 VA  who was married to  Johanna SAYER":  The 1991 Index to the Collection of the Sufferings of the People Called Quakers... to...1689, by Joseph Besse  (2 vols, originally published in London in 1753) shows references in vol.1 to John Biggs in Buckinghamshire (p.80) and Northamptonshire (p.534),  to Robert Biggs in Lancashire (p.309), to Eleanor Biggs in Cornwall (p.123), and to a Henry Bigg in Bedfordshire (p.4).   Three persons named Sayer are named in vol.1:  John in Northamptonshire  (p.518), Mary in Somersetshire  (p.630), and Samuel in Somertsetshire, (pp.613, 622).  I do not have the two volumes of text, where accounts of arrests and other harassment for such offenses as not attending or paying tithes to the state church are compiled, only the Index to names. On the Q-ROOTS List in July 2002, someone researching Whitehursts reported finding reference to John Biggs in Virginia who was fined in 1675  by the court at James City for not having his children baptized, and who was named in v.6 (pp.,11-12) in Hinshaw's Encyclopedia of Am. Quaker Genealogy as one of a pre-1700 group of 40 Quakers in Norfolk Co, VA. -- S. Newton
