Paul,

Got your message about photocopies and I just wanted to inform you that the powers that
be are already in motion. My mother never has really expressed an interest in the
search of heritage and history, yet once I informed her of someone related to her
Grandfather Arthur Biggers, well... She has called me to tell me she got all her
records and documents out. We are both in the process of getting all these lines and
supporting documents into a format her Grandchildren & Great-Grandchildren can have.
You though won't have to wait that long as soon as I'm sure we've got all are notes
properly copied they along will copies of all other documents will be on the way to you
& your family. These papers will include the family line written by Arthur's own hand.


I have been reviewing the Biggers line more this week and I can now tell you that John I
came to America at the age of 38 somewhere in the range of 1842-43. He started a Carding
Mill in Dexter N.Y. His farm was 2 miles north of Brownsville N.Y. Wife Fannie Harris
died at age 56. Their children were: John II b. 1839 England // George b. abt. 1842
England // Maria b.1844 New York //James (Jim) b. 1846 (listed as a Robert 1860 census
???) The brothers John and George were available for duty at the beginning of the Civil
War. John did not join but fled to Maryland where he spent time aboard a whaling ship
and was also taken prisoner at some point and sometime later is said to have escaped.
Maybe the tales of his adventures were in his head as told to kin when he returned or
fact, maybe a little of both. George was not so lucky, Hit by a cannon ball and killed
Battle of Bull Run, Manassas, Va. after 1862, so that would make it the second battle.
Youngest son James was said to have been a math genius, "Hit in the head by his
stepmother for eating one of her pies and was never the same." I hope the pie was good.

The Stepmother John I's 2nd wife was Jane Graves b. Ireland 1819 d. 1908 / 89 years.
Graves was her 1st husband's name. Her children by Graves:
John Graves 1844 // Wm. Graves 1846 // Joseph Graves 1849 // Barnett Graves 1851 //
Approx date by census ages.

John II / oldest daughter Stella never married and is buried next to her Grandfather
John I in Dexter Cemetery, 4th row across from tall monument of Gilmore.

Nicholas Van Brocklin d. 1884 age 89 (Dutch)
Nancy Ann Schell d. 1883 age 88 (Germany)
Parents of Margaret (Van Brocklin) Biggers

Nancy Ann Schell's Father was Marcus Schell b. June 6,1764 Herkimer Co. NY Chr. July 5,
1764 Reformed Dutch Church of German Flats married Catherine Elizabeth Roan b. circa
1770 Herkimer , March 25 1788. Died after 1832 Herkimer NY

Marcus Schell's Father was Johnannes Schell arrived port of Philadelpia 1732 or 1752 /
Mother was Barbara Raspach.( I found a ship listing some years ago 10th Oct 1752 Phil.,
Tuesday Ship " FOREST" Capt. Patrick Auchterlony from Rotterdam / Maybe??? )

Do you know that both Eva & Arthur named a son Paul. Arthur's son was Paul Everett b.
June 18,1910. Strange your name is Paul. Is your line Eva's Paul Webert. We want to
know more about Eva's sons and where they went and the lives they lead. Arthur's
children where artists / landscape architect / naturalist / seems thay had a deep
appreciation for nature's beauty.

David.

Dear Sirs,

I have just completed an online search for my 6 immigrant ancestors who arrived in New York City on October 31, 1842. The original Port of Departure was London. However, the online database (Ancestry.com) did not list a ship name. According to this online database, 127 other passengers arrived on the same day, so I am assuming that these other passengers were also aboard this same ship.

The original passenger list microfilm (NARA M237 - roll 51) does not show a ship name either (I checked.)

How can I find the name of the ship?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Sincerely,

Paul F. Kelly

Paul

Short answer no, not yet at least.

Following up on messages from Al I currently have a John HARRIS m to an Ann MAYCOCK 21st October 1798 in Stanton Harcourt. As yet I only have one child, James HARRIS born 16th January 1804 in Southleigh.

Could it be that I have not found other children and your Frances is a sister?

I am checking through the Southleigh transcripts from OFHS (so far nearly finished Southleigh then onto Stanton Harcourt etc..) but have not found the parents of John. There seem to be several likely candidates from the area
(Witney) making him difficult to pin down.

I hope to link him in to my main line of enquiry (my wife's family) which is from a Caesar HARRIS from Barrington, just over the county border in Gloucestershire. Here again there are two to choose from born within three years of one another (perhaps cousins?), one from Little Barrington and one from Great Barrington.

If anyone can help with either of these I would be eternally greatful! :o)

Sorry it is not straight forward but it appears so far that Al is correct in thinking there could be two HARRIS lines in Southleigh (or may be more?).

Peter

Dear Al

The trouble with Chipping Norton is that it is quite near the Gloucestershire border and your Harrises may have come from Gloucs. Nevertheless, there are many populations in Oxon., with concentrations of Harrises. The big problem is that the PRs often don't cover the 16th century and you will have to rely in many places on Wills. You could start with the Will of Samuel HARRIS of Chipping Norton, in 1616, then within a reasonably small radius, that of William HARRYS of Chilson, Charlbury in 1554, followed by that of Joane HARRYS, probably his widow, in 1558. There is also the Will of Symon HARRYS, mason, of Charlbury, 1588, John HARRYS of Hook Norton, 1592, widow Margaret, 1594, Ralph HARRIS of Kingham, 1603. There is then a continung series of Harris wills for Chilson and Charlbury, up to the 18th century.

Kind regards

Keith

Thanks Maureen,

That is very kind of you.

I don't need dates or anything; I just want to know if there were any HARRIS families in Chipping Norton registered in the Baptism records before 1600 and also a feel for how many families if there was more than one.

Many Thanks,

There was a Henry Biggers that married an Elizabeth Steede at Chipping
Norton on 13 Oct 1799. Sounds like it could be your guy.
