I have been researching the Alexander Biggs family of Meigs Co., Ohio for some years. It would be of a great benefit to my research if I could find other family associated with this family????
Alexander Biggs was born about 1801 somewhere in Pennsylvania.
Known timeline...
1836-7 Alexander came to Meigs county, Ohio and located his family in Tupper's Plains, Orange Townshp, of Meigs Co., Ohio.

I think there may have been some confusion when the 1850 census was taken? According to the stone in Tiffany cemetery, Alexander's wife was Sarah Biggs.
