The Richard Biggs of West and Sherley Hundred died in 1626 leaving a widow named Sara (not Ann), and a minor (b. 1622) son named Richard. The widow and son appear to have returned to England that year. That Richard was born about 1584, and arrived in Virginia in 1610. He served in the House of Burgesses in 1623. There is no reference to the son returning to Virginia, although he had an interest in land in Henrico County. It does not appear that he was a close relation of the Richard and John of this thread. Richard and Sarah had two sons who died -- Thomas and William.
Richard's sister, Rebecca, married a Hill and had Marmaduke (b 1613, Eng) and Jane (b 1610, Eng), then married Thomas Rose, who died before 1624. She was older than her brother by nine years. After Jane's punishment for fornication, there is no mention of any of them (or of Jane's lover).
Richard's wife, Sarah, may have been married previously. When she sailed for Virginia in 1618, she was accompanied by two children, Thomas Turner (b 1615) and Susan Old (b 1616). They are listed as "cozens" to Richard, a term so broadly used then as to cover step children.
Would like to learn of any sources which tell of their prior history in England or what happened to Sarah and the son Richard after returning to England in 1626.
