The date and place of Rachel’s birth were recorded by her husband Andrew Casto1. Two wills in the New Jersey State Archives provide a list of Jeremiah’s children and the name of his wife, Abigail Smith 2,3. The oldest sons, Eleazer and Noah, were born in the late 1760’s 4, daughter Ami about 17671, and son Jeremiah on Dec. 27, 17695. Son William was baptized on Dec. 1, 1771 by Rev. Enoch Green of Deerfield Presbyterian Church6, and son Aaron was baptized by Rev. Green on Oct. 22, 17736. Youngest son Ephraim was born about 17797. Jeremiah Biggs is named on Cumberland county tax lists for 1773, 1774, 1778, 1779, and 1781. The 1779 tax list states that his farm consists of 120 acres of improved land, with 7 cattle, 3 horses, and 7 hogs. When compared to other farms in Hopewell Township, Jeremiah’s farm appears about average, not among either the largest or smallest farms. Jeremiah’s brother, William Biggs, a neighboring landowner in Hopewell Township, was considered a substantial enough citizen to be elected to the Hopewell Township Committee of Observation and Correspondence established at the outbreak of the American Revolution (the Continental Congress ordered the establishment of such committees for local government) 8. Another William Biggs, the son of Jeremiah’s late brother Daniel, served as a 2nd lieutenant in the Cumberland county militia8. This William Biggs (son of Daniel) eventually settled in Clinton County, Ohio. The latest record of the family of Jeremiah Biggs Sr. in Cumberland county is the marriage of daughter Ami to David Casto (brother of Andrew, above) on Mar. 16, 1785 in the Greenwich Presbyterian Church6. Jeremiah Biggs evidently died in the late 1780’s, and his family moved to what is now Greene County, in the southwestern corner of Pennsylvania. Greene County was then a part of Washington County, PA, and close to the frontier of settlement. The 1790 federal census for PA lists Abigail (Smith) Biggs of Morgan Township, Washington County, as head of a household containing 3 males over 16 and one under 16 (probably Jeremiah, William, Aaron, and Ephraim). Living next to her in Morgan Township was her son-in-law David Casto; son-in-law Andrew Casto was located a short distance away in Richhill Township. A 1793 tax list for Washington county mentions Eleazer and Noah Biggs as single men, living alone. According to family history9, brothers Jeremiah and William Biggs met their future wives while on a trip to visit their brother Eleazer. They stayed overnight at the home of Levi Harrod, where they met his daughters Jemima and Rachel. Jeremiah married Jemima about 1794, and William married Rachel slightly later 9,10. The family of Jemima and Rachel Harrod was noted for military service9,10,11. Their uncle William Harrod served as a sergeant in Gen. Forbes’ campaign of 1758 (French and Indian War); he later rose to the rank of captain, fighting in more battles during Lord Dunmore’s War (1774). During the American Revolution, he took part in George Rodgers Clark’s expedition against the British forts of Kaskaskia and Vincennes, and in Clark’s campaign of 1780. Eventually attaining the rank of colonel, William Harrod’s battles with the Indian tribes continued after the revolution. He settled in Kentucky, where he died in 1801. Another uncle of Jemima Harrod, James Harrod, also fought in the French and Indian War, enlisting at age 16 in Captain Gavin Cochrane’s company for Col. Boquet’s campaign. James Harrod served under George Rodgers Clark during the American Revolution, and also founded the town of Harrodsburg, the first European settlement in the state of Kentucky. He died in Kentucky under mysterious circumstances in 1792. A third uncle, John Harrod, Jr., served as a major in the Revolution and was captured by the British while serving in Col. Parkes regiment under Baron DeKalb. He was taken to Canada, and after his release retired due to injuries. A fourth uncle, Samuel Harrod, was killed by an Indian while on an expedition to the Mississippi River. Levi Harrod, father-in-law of Jeremiah and William Biggs, served in the Washington County, PA militia during the Revolution, and as a guide in post- war expeditions against the Indian tribes of Ohio. Virginia militia records also indicate that Levi Harrod was with the Virginia militia that fought with General Morgan at the Battle of Cowpens, defeating the British Legion of Banastre Tarlton (the area that is now Washington, Greene, and Allegeny Counties, PA was claimed by both PA and VA until 1786)11. The grandfather of these military Harrod brothers, James Harrod (or Harwood), was himself a soldier before he emigrated to Pennsylvania about 1722. He had served as a soldier under John Churchill, Duke of Marlborough, in the war against Louis XIV of France12. He was taken prisoner by the French, but later released. After their marriages, William and Jeremiah Biggs remained for a few years in Greene County, then Jeremiah moved his family to a farm near Dunkard Creek, which runs along the border between Greene County and Monongalia County, VA (now West Virginia). A Monongalia County deed of Mar. 2, 1802 records the sale of a parcel of land along Dunkard Creek to Eleazer Biggs, and the deed mentions Jeremiah Biggs as a neighboring landowner. Jeremiah’s sons Harrod Biggs, born in 179513, and William Biggs, born in March 179614, sometimes gave their birthplaces as Pennsylvania, sometimes as Virginia; they were probably born in Monongalia County, Virginia, just on the border with Greene County, Pennsylvania. In the summer of 1799, nine or ten families in Greene County decided to form an association and immigrate to the Ohio Territory. Land was purchased in what is now Knox County, Ohio, cabins built by an advance party, and early in 1804 the families began the move. Among those moving were Levi Harrod, Jr. (brother in law of Jeremiah and William Biggs) and family. Jeremiah Biggs, his brother, William, and brother-in-law Andrew Casto soon decided to join their relatives in Ohio. Jeremiah Biggs and Andrew Casto became the first settlers in what is now Harrison Township, Knox County, Ohio. As such, they earned the following mention in the History of Knox County5: Andrew Casto was probably the first white man to settle in Harrison Township. He entered land in the western part of the Township. But little of his early pioneer experience can be obtained as he has been dead many years, and none of his family are living in Knox County. Jeremiah Biggs, who is claimed by some to have been the first settler of Harrison, was born in Virginia (sic) December 27, 1769. He came to this township in 1808, settling on section sixteen. When he first settled here, Harrison was almost, if not altogether, an unbroken wilderness. Mr. Biggs lived long to enjoy the fruits of his arduous pioneer labors. He died in 1844. Family tradition9 holds that Jeremiah and William Biggs began visiting Ohio as early as the 1790’s, where they built cabins before making a permanent move with their families. Tradition also says that Jeremiah always had a friendly relationship with local Indians, joining them in hunting expeditions, races, and shooting contests. William Biggs and Levi Harrod are found on 1810 tax lists for Knox County, and Jeremiah appears on a tax list of 1814. Jeremiah’s arrival date of 1808 is confirmed by Ohio state land records, which record that he applied to buy his tract of land in Knox county from the federal government at the Zanesville land office on Oct. 26, 180815. By 1820 almost the entire family had moved to Knox County. Brothers Eleazer, Noah, Jeremiah, William, Aaron and Ephraim Biggs, all appear in Ohio State land records and tax lists between 1808 and 1814. All settled in Knox County except Aaron, who settled in Butler County. After initially settling just south of what is now Mt. Vernon, Knox County, Ohio, in 1804, Levi Harrod, Jr. moved to what later became Clay Township around 1810. He was probably Clay Township’s first settler; his first year there he killed ten bears, and had to build bonfires at night to protect his stock. In 1813 his parents, Levi Harrod Sr. and Rachel Mills Harrod, joined their children in Knox County. Jeremiah’s family continued to grow, and eventually sons Harrod, William and John (John was born Dec. 7, 1811) married and moved onto their own farms. Jeremiah purchased land for Harrod and William, and left his own farm to youngest son John16. William married Clarinda Dillon on July 24, 1823 in Knox County17. Clarinda was the daughter of Thomas Dillon and the granddaughter of Peter Dillon 18,19. Peter Dillon, perhaps from Ireland, had settled in New Jersey about 1770. He married Polly Vactor (last name an Anglicized version of the Dutch name Veghte; the Veghte family came to New York from Holland in 1660) in New Jersey, and served in the Somerset County, NJ militia during the Revolution. Like the Biggs family, he moved to Washington County, PA after the Revolution, then on to Coshocton County, Ohio, where he died in 1823. Clarinda Dillon’s maternal grandfather, Amos Mix, was born in Connecticut on Feb. 2, 175919. He served in Connecticut Continental Regiments during the Revolution, fighting at the battles of Long Island, Kip’s Bay, White Plains (where he was severely wounded), and Yorktown. He was with the Light Infantry which stormed a British reboubt in the Yorktown siege lines on the night of Oct. 14, 178121. After the war, he settled for awhile in Albany County, NY22. By 1810, Amos Mix and family had moved to Knox County, Ohio23. Both Amos Mix and his wife, Clarinda Barnes, were descended from early New England settlers. Amos’ ggg grandfather, Thomas Mix, had immigrated to New Haven, CT about 1643, where he held office as constable. His gg grandfather, Daniel Mix, was one of the founders of Wallingford, CT. A gggg grandfather, James Ensign, came to Massachusetts about 1634, then became one of the founders of Hartford, CT, in 1639. Ensign held office as constable in 1649 and 1662, and was a member of the city council in 1656. Another gggg grandfather, Nathaniel Turner, after serving as a soldier in Europe, came to Massachusetts in 1630 with John Winthrop and settled in Lynn. He was a representative at the first assembly of Massachusetts in 1634, and commanded the Saugus train band during the Pequot War of 1636-1637. He moved to Connecticut in 1637, becoming one of the founders of New Haven. As captain of the so-called “Lambertons Phantom Ship”, he sailed from New Haven for Europe; the ship was lost with all on board in Jan. 1646. Many other ancestors of Amos Mix have similar stories19. William Biggs and Clarinda Dillon eventually had 4 sons and 4 daughters: older daughters Ellen (married Samuel Burk in 1848) and Hannah (married Edwin Healea in 1845), sons Harrod (born 1826), Lewis (born Feb. 27, 1830), John (born 1832), Alexander (born 1840), and Amos (born 1842), and younger daughters Sarah (born 1835) and Rhoda (born 1847)7,9. Dozens of William Biggs’ cousins and nephews chose to enlist in the Union Army after the Civil War began, but of William’s 5 sons, only Amos enlisted, joining the 43rd Ohio Infantry in the fall of 1861. Amos never saw active service; he was discharged sick in Feb. 1862 at Camp Chase, Ohio. However, Willliam’s oldest son Harrod Biggs was drafted into the Union Army in the fall of 1862, after Knox County failed to fill its quota of men for the Union Army by voluntary enlistment. He was 37 years old with a wife and two children, and failed to report for duty. However, he was sent to join the 1st Ohio Volunteer Infantry for 9 months service a year later. When Harrod Biggs joined his regiment on Oct. 11, 1863, it was besieged in Chattanooga, Tennessee with the rest of the Union Army, which had lost the bloody battle of Chickamauga on Sept. 23, 1863. Conditions in the besieged army were harsh, with inadequate food and shelter, and at some point Harrod Biggs caught the cold which eventually turned into pneumonia and killed him. Harrod Biggs presumably fought with his regiment in the battles of Nov. 23-25 which broke the Confederate siege of Chattanooga. His regiment, the 1st OVI, took part in the famous charge by the Union Army up the slope of Missionary Ridge, which drove the Confederate Army south in retreat. After the battles, on Nov. 28, 1863, Harrod Biggs was sent to an army hospital in Chattanooga because of his severe cold. He was transferred to USA General Hospital No. 1 in Nashville, where he died on Apr. 5, 1864, of “double pneumonia”. He is buried in Nashville National Cemetery. Lewis Biggs, brother of Harrod and Amos, left Ohio before the start of the Civil War. As a young man, he began a carpentry business with his cousin, Isaac Baker24. The business was successful from about 1850 to 1857, when Lewis married Elizabeth Ann Ely 9,17 (Sept. 13, 1857). Shortly after the marriage, Lewis and Elizabeth moved to Maple Grove Township, Barry County, Michigan, where Lewis continued to work as a carpenter 25. Lewis no doubt chose Maple Grove Township because numerous relatives had preceded him to this location. Lewis’ uncle, Peter Dillon, was an early settler in Maple Grove, having moved there about 1846. Peter Dillon was later joined by his brother, John, and parents Thomas and Hannah Mix Dillon. Thomas Dillon retired to a farm he had purchased in Maple Grove, where he died on Jun. 1, 1856. Lewis’ cousin Silas Biggs and his family also lived in Maple Grove. Three of Silas’ four sons (Levi, Emmanuel, and William Biggs) enlisted in the 28th Michigan Infantry in 1864; two died of disease before the end of the war. Only William survived to be discharged in 1865. Lewis Biggs’ wife, Elizabeth Ely, was almost certainly the daughter of Jacob Ely and Maria Struble Ely 26. Jacob Ely was the ggg grandson of Joshua Ely, born 1652 in Mansfield, Nottinghamshire, England. About 1694 he crossed the Atlantic to New Jersey, where he became one of the founders of the city of Trenton27. Jacob’s grandfather, George Ely, was appointed Lt. Colonel of the 2nd Regiment of the Hunterdon County, New Jersey militia during the Revolution. After the revolution, George Ely moved to Northumberland County, PA, and was one of the first settlers in the village later known as Elysburg. He kept a tavern there, and his son Samuel Ely built the first house and the first business (a carpentry shop) in the vicinity28. Samuel’s son Jacob moved to Knox County, Ohio sometime before 1835, because he married Maria Struble on Dec. 31, 1835 in Knox County17. Maria Struble was the granddaughter of Heinrich Peter Struble, born in 1742 in Odernheim, Rheinhessen, Germany. He came with his father, Johann Dietrich Strubel, to Sussex County, New Jersey sometime between 1742 and 1770. Maria’s father William Struble moved from Sussex County, NJ to Frederickstown, Knox County, Ohio around 1830. Lewis Biggs and Elizabeth Ely Biggs lived in Maple Grove Township, MI from 1858 to about 1877, and their children were all born there (see the family data sheet for Lewis Biggs). About 1877 the family moved to Triplett Township in Chariton County, Missouri. Lewis Biggs lists himself as a farmer in the 1880 federal census for Tripeltt Township, Chariton County – he had apparently given up the carpentry business. Elizabeth Biggs died in 1886; Lewis Biggs remarried about 1888, and his children all left home about this time. Frank and Emma Biggs both married (Maude Maddox and George Gallatin, respectively), and remained in Triplett. Weller Biggs eventually moved to Silverbell, Arizona, a mining town described in the early 1900s as “the Hell-hole of the West”. Weller worked as an independent miner, buying mining rights to several parcels of land. Ella Biggs married a man named Rice and moved to Pennsylvania30. William Biggs worked at various jobs (farm laborer, carpenter, Town Marshall) and married Lillie Rickman, a local schoolteacher, on Dec. 11, 1906. Lillie Rickman’s great-grandfather, Michael Rickman, had come to Missouri from Haywood County, North Carolina, about 1839 and settled in Cooper County. His brothers Jesse and William Rickman settled in Clay County Missouri at about the same time.31,32 Michael Rickman’s grandfather, William Rickman, was born about 1715, probably in England. William Rickman studied medicine, and is believed to have served as ship’s surgeon on the Launcet, a Royal Navy ship. If so, he left the Royal Navy and settled in Virginia about 1760, and at the outbreak of the American Revolution was appointed director-general of Continental Army Hospitals for the state of Virginia, with the rank of colonel.34 Dr. William Rickman married sometime before the year 1770; his son Jesse Rickman, was born on May 2 of that year. Jesse was born on his father’s farm near Charles City, Virginia, known as Kittewan. Jesse’s mother died while he was still a small child, and in 1775 his father remarried. Dr. Rickman’s young bride was Elizabeth Harrison, sister of future U.S. President William Henry Harrison. She was 24 when she married the 60 year old Dr. Rickman. After William Rickman died in 1783, her stepson Jesse promptly left the family property, possibly due to a quarrel with his stepmother. 13 year old Jesse Rickman, on his own, first served a brief stint in the Continental Army in Wilmington, North Carolina (1783-1784). He then wandered the countryside of North Carolina for awhile until he married Mary Trantham on Jan. 10, 1791 in Dykes Creek, Rowan County. Some traditions say that Mary Trantham Rickman was half Cherokee and a local healer, but it is not clear how accurate this tradition is. However that may be, her father, Martin Trantham, was certainly a veteran of the Revolutionary War, having served in the 1st North Carolina Continental Regiment. After his marriage, Jesse Rickman lived in Rowan County until about 1805, then moved to the North Carolina mountains and cleared a farm in what was then Bucombe County (now Henderson County). He died there at the age of 89 on Mar. 10, 1860. The first 7 of his 14 children were born in Rowan County, including twins Michael and William (born Apr. 5, 1797), who afterward moved to Missouri 32,35. Michael Rickman and his wife Susannah Whittaker moved to Cooper County, Missouri about 1835, and lived there with their large family until Michael’s death in the 1850s. By that time, Michael’s oldest children were married and living on their own farms, including second oldest son James W. Rickman. James Rickman married Sarah Ann Mayfield in Cooper County on Dec. 21, 1844 and lived in the area until his death in 1892. Sarah Mayfield had come to Saline County, MO in 1831 from Augusta County, VA, along with her father, Stephen Mayfield. William Henry Rickman was the eldest son of James and Sarah Rickman, father of Lillie Rickman, and father-in-law of William Biggs. William H. Rickman married Martha E. Bonds, whose immediate family had come from Nelson County Virginia to Chariton County Missouri just before the Civil War. Although the Rickman, Mayfield, and Bonds families had come to Missouri from North Carolina and Virginia, their loyalties were with the Union when the Civil War began, and many members of these families served in Union Regiments. Missouri, unlike other Union states, required a large number of soldiers to suppress Confederate guerilla activity and to guard against Confederate raids. For this reason, several different types of regiment were raised. Missouri, like all Union states, raised the 3 -year volunteer regiments that were the backbone of the Union Army. However, since these served with the Union Armies outside of Missouri, additional troops were needed for Missouri itself. In the spring of 1862, the governor of Missouri proposed to raise 10,000 men for service within the state, to be known as the Missouri State Militia. They were to be paid by the state, but equipped and maintained by the federal government. The Missouri State Militia were as well trained and equipped as other Union regiments, but were soon found to be too few in number to guard the entire state; in addition, they were often sent outside the state when urgently needed elsewhere. Therefore, in the summer of 1862, it was ordered that all males between the ages of 18 and 45, willing to take an oath of loyalty to the United States, should be enlisted in regiments to be known as the Enrolled Missouri Militia. The men of the Enrolled Missouri Militia (EMM) were to be called upon to serve as needed within or near their home Counties, to hunt down Confederate guerillas or to repel raids. The experiences of the regiments of the Enrolled Missouri Militia varied widely depending on circumstances; some spent the war on guard duty, while others were called on to meet regular Confederate forces in battle when no other troops were available. The attitudes of the men also varied wildly from regiment to regiment in the EMM, depending on prevailing attitudes in their Counties; some were radical abolitionists, freeing slaves and recruiting them for the Union Army, even though slavery was legal in Missouri until 1865. Other EMM regiments were filled with Confederate sympathizers, and refused to fight regular Confederate Army forces36. Several members of the Rickman, Bonds, and Mayfield families enlisted in 3 – year volunteer regiments, including John J. Rickman (younger brother of William H. Rickman) and two brothers of William H. Rickman’s wife Martha Bonds (Creed Bonds and Isaiah Bonds). William H. Rickman’s maternal uncle, Barney Mayfield, also enlisted in a 3-year volunteer regiment, the 18th Missouri Volunteer Infantry (details on regiments and service are found in the family data sheets for these individuals). Most of the remaining male members of these families served in the Enrolled Missouri Militia. Robert P. Bonds, another brother of William H. Rickman’s wife Martha, served in the 35th Regiment, Enrolled Missouri Militia. James Rickman, father of William H. Rickman, served in company F, 71st Regiment, Enrolled Missouri Militia (along with his 3 brothers-in law, Henry, Stephen, and James Mayfield) from August 1862 to May 1863. Henry and James Mayfield were then transferred to company C, 5th Provisional Battalion, Enrolled Missouri Militia, and served until November 186337. The Provisional Battalions were an attempt to create more effective units from the members of the EMM. The 35th and 71st regiments and the 5th Provisional Battalion of the EMM seem to have performed loyal if unspectacular service for the United States. Details of their service are hard to come by, because the United States government usually took little interest in the doings of the EMM, except when they served beside regular troops in an emergency. Therefore, records and reports concerning the EMM were often overlooked or discarded. The members of the EMM are often described as the forgotten soldiers of the Civil War. The Union loyalties of the Rickman, Mayfield, and Bonds families would explain why Lewis Biggs and his family were accepted when they moved to Chariton County, Missouri from Michigan after the war, and why his children could marry into these families without friction. After their marriage, William Biggs and Lillie Rickman lived for a time on a small farm near Triplett, in Chariton County. Their children were Alma Rita (born Sept. 9, 1907), Drexel or Rex (born Apr. 9, 1910), Ellen Maurine, (born Feb. 17, 1912) and William (born Sept. 7, 1913). Sometime in the mid-1920’s, the family moved to Shawnee, Oklahoma, where William Biggs worked as a stone mason. Toward the end of their lives, William and Lillie Biggs followed several of their children to the San Diego, CA area. William Biggs did some of his last work building stone retaining walls for the city of Chula Vista, CA. He died on July 19, 1955 in Chula Vista; his wife died a few years later, on Apr. 25, 196230.

Listings for Amos Mix in CT Revolutionary War Records: “Lexington Alarm Lists” (April 1775), 8 days service with Capt. Isaac Cook’s company, town of Wallingford. Enlisted in 7th CT Continental Regiment July 11, 1775. This Regiment was stationed at various points on Long Island Sound until Sept. 14, then was ordered to Boston for siege duty. Amos Mix was discharged Oct. 27, 1775, and the regiment was disbanded in Dec. 1775. Enlisted in 5th Battalion, CT State Troops, in 1776, in Capt. Nathaniel Bunnell’s company. This battalion fought at the battles of Long Island, Kip’s Bay, and White Plains. Enlisted in Pond’s company of the 6th CT Continental Regiment for the duration of the war on Apr. 9, 1777. This regiment served in the New York City area during 1777-1780. In a reorganization of 1781, the 6th CT Continental Regiment became the 4th Regiment of the CT Line. Amos Mix is listed as paid for service in the 4th from Jan. 1, 1781 to Dec. 31, 1781. Part of the 4th CT was detached to serve as Light Infantry with Gen. Lafayette in Virginia in 1781, including Amos Mix, who is listed with Capt. Baker’s company, Col. Gimat’s Light Infantry Regiment.

Appendix 1 – The Biggs family before Cumberland County, New Jersey. At the present time, no definitive records are known which give the birthplace of the Jeremiah Biggs who first appears in Cumberland County, New Jersey about 1760. However, an educated guess can be made about his (or his family’s) place or origin. The Biggs family of Hopewell Township, Cumberland County was apparently Presbyterian, as their marriages, births, and deaths appear in the records of the Deerfield and Greenwich Presbyterian churches of Cumberland County. The Presbyterians who settled Cumberland County came mostly from Connecticut and eastern Long Island (the eastern 2/3 of Long Island makes up the County of Suffolk, NY). When the early records of Suffolk County are examined, it is discovered that Thomas Biggs was one of the founders and original proprietors of the town of Setauket (later renamed Brookhaven), in eastern Long Island. Setauket was founded in 1655 by Presbyterian settlers from the Boston area; Thomas Biggs appears in the records of the town of Exeter, Massachusetts in 1652. He may be the same Thomas Biggs who was transported at the age of 13 from London to Boston on the ship “Blessing” in 1635. However that may be, Thomas Biggs of Setauket clearly had a large (and Presbyterian) family; the 1675 valuation of Setauket lists not only Thomas Biggs, but a John Biggs and Sergeant Biggs as well. The elder Thomas Biggs apparently died soon after 1675, because the 1683 valuation of Seutaket lists Thomas Biggs, Jr. and John Biggs. Thomas Biggs, Jr. is clearly the son of Thomas Biggs the proprietor, John Biggs and a Nathaniel Biggs, (born in Setauket around 1655) were probably his sons as well. This family grew to be very large, leaving many descendants in Suffolk County. In the light of present evidence, the most probable origin for Jeremiah Biggs of Cumberland County, New Jersey and his brothers William, Daniel, and John, is to be found in Suffolk County, NY.
