Profiles Mentioned:

I've yet to find or see it folks. Can You help me out? - Quicker by e-mail an I leave the door Open.
I walked with "historians for -25- Years" and ACCEPTED what WE put forth; but upon several attempts to "write out My Male to Male Trail from that David Biggs down to Me,,,, as a Male to Male Descendant, it would NOT CONNECT! ?? WHY?
Family SWORE My line descended through: David Biggs 1777/80 N.C. to son William Biggs 1801/06 N.C. to Son Andrew Allen Biggs 1834/35 TN. to son Hardy * (WHO had learned to spell Hardy Biggs as Hardie Biggs) Biggs born 1870 MO. to son Edgar Biggs born 1921 OK. to son, Edgar RALPH Biggs born 1942 OK. - This being me.
I began to Question that trail in late 2004 after not being able to make the connection flow as I WAS LEAD TO .believe for -25- Years!
Not one historian offered to "Walk back into the Past" with me!! ?? I walked with them for -25- years! They would NOT walk me back down the Trail of OUR Ancestors? * !!! Something is WRONG!
I backed away for awhile and "re-charged my brain-cells"! * The Answer HIT ME IN THE FACE when I Balanced my check-book one morning!
The instant I wrote: Balanced - The Light SWITCH LIT UP! * THERE IS THE ANSWER I'm SEARCHING FOR!

Man LIVES by NUMBERS. We want escape them until we use the # 6. Six feet under.
* The Numbers revealed the 1850 Census for Hardy Biggs is WRONG!
Age is given as -29- in 1850. Elizabeth B. is 20, born ILL. - Two young children,,,,, then EIGHT Older children are Noted!
Historians brain-cells FROZE apparently sometime back and LOCKED onto that 1850 Census per Hardy Biggs AGE and the difference for MY
Andrew A. Biggs AGE! - I never considered Questioning my Family historians! PLUS:
JUST WHO IN THE WORLD was I to question them? I had never made a Family Tree!

NUMBERS reveal the truth. 1850 Hardy Biggs is 29; 1860 same Hardy Biggs is 46!
1860-1850= Ten. Right? 46-29= 17!!!!

I instantly blurted out loud: "I do NOT want to be KIN to that Ol Man!"
But, I need to Verify this! What is Hardy Biggs age per 1870 Census? * Age 55.

Seems ODD that we SWEAR Hardy Biggs was born in 1814/15 TN. ??
1850-1814= 36! 1850-1815= 35! But AGE is stated as 29 in 1850!
1860-46= 1814 BIRTH YEAR! Check 1870- 55= 1815 BIRTH YEAR!

WHAT is wrong with 1850 Birth Year on Census? * HUMUM error PLUS brain-cells FROZEN and LOCKED!
* Andrew A./Allen Biggs IS A SON OF HARDY BIGGS and a FIRST WIFE!

Historians "made the Biggs STORY to FIT that 1850 Census! And moved on down the road with NO thought to Question it!
Well,,,,, Some did question it LONG before I did! - But their questions were thrown/pushed to the side and never ANSWERED!

I STAND BY the NUMBERS. * If we have the "right #'s,,, we SHOULD ALL GET THE RIGHT ANSWERS".

One Piece of Evidence backed this trail up in 2007! ?? WHY was it NOT used?
It was NOT passed around to Family for some reason!1

Arkansas Death Certificate! Revealed: Father of Andrew A. Biggs - HARDIE Biggs born: TENN.! Mother: UNKNOWN,,,, Born: TENN.!!!

My Grandfather Hardy Biggs 1870 MO. had learned to SPELL his name as Hardie Biggs!
Did we NOT go to school and learn this also? "IE and Y" can/ARE the same?

We Followed others instead of doing the research OURSELVES.
