Cornelia Walts was the name given as Eva's mother's maiden name on the Marriage Certificate (Eva Biggers and Anthony Webert) dated January 9, 1901. The 1880 census shows a Cornelia (20 yrs old) as a step-daughter to John Biggers (head of household). It would make sense that Cornelia may have been taking care of Eva (then 10 months old) if Margaret (wife) was ill or incpacitated and unable to care for Eva.

Eva is my Arthur's sister. John II and Margaret VanBrocklin were married 1/17/1869 in most likely Jefferson Co. NY as this is where she was born. As mention in the previous note I believe I found the original family farm on a1864 map near Theresa, NY and John and Margaret both died in Theresa,NY. Arthur was also born in Theresa it would problem be reasonable to assume your Eva was born on this same family farm. John II died 1/12/93 and Margaret on 4/12/1885 in my records I have been past down that the place of death was Phlesis / Theresa NY. Your records on their children are much like mine but I have an Anna b.1876 not a Lucetta b. 1875 probably is the same daughter and they called her Anna. The date could have just been last down wrong as I had your Eva b.1880 now you've past on Aug 1879. George was noted in my records as being a carpenter. As I read my records I see that there was a daughter Cornelia b. 1860 from a previous marriage by Margaret yet I don't see a difference her maiden name in my records on the Van Brocklin line which I have a father & grandfather named VanBrocklin for her Line along with her brothers and sisters. These will follow. John II was married a second time to a woman I can't put my hands on her name right now but they had children named Bert, Ira & Gertrude. There are marked graves of this family in NY. I know my mother has seen them but I'm not 100% but I believe she has seen John II.

Wade Jr. To: Paul Kelly Subject: Re: Biggers Date: Friday, August 15, 1997 8:54 PM 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.

Cornelia Walts was the name given as Eva's mother's maiden name on the Marriage Certificate (Eva Biggers and Anthony Webert) dated January 9, 1901. The 1880 census shows a Cornelia (20 yrs old) as a step-daughter to John Biggers (head of household). It would make sense that Cornelia may have been taking care of Eva (then 10 months old) if Margaret (wife) was ill or incpacitated and unable to care for Eva.
