I am also. I think that John Biggs who owned 36 acres in Amherst is the father to my John Biggs who fought in the Rev war and settled in Giles County. His wife was Mary and he had several children. I think that Edward was his brother. I have also found some land documents from Amherst related to John Biggs, Sr. and a son ? Thomas. I think that John and ? had the following children for sure: John, Edward, Thomas, Mark, and a daughter. Any other clues?
