John Biggs

  General Notes:

About John's children - Allen was definately a son and it is most likely that Williamson was also because Allen and Miles were in the1840 census and John still had one son in the household in 1840. Williamson did not appear in the census until 1850. The question is which two of these men were John's sons - Miles or Williamson - there is no official proof but I do not think that Miles was his son. He only had 2 sons listed in the 1820 and 1830 census.
