 Documentation: The Pioneer Cemetery (formerly IOOF) in San Luis
Obispo
provides much of the vital statistics, but Bible records also exist
for
the family.  Death certificate and marriage certificate also assist in
filling gaps and corroborating information.  Martha E. Biggs married
several time and also assumed several names including Vivian Grimes
and
Katherine Harnette.  Her last husband was Ralph W. Carter.  Pernicia
married three times.  John C. Biggs married at least three times as
well.
Lillian died in the influenze epidemic.  Louisa Leah See marrried 1st
James Alexander Burns.  John D. Biggs married only Louisa.  Both John
and
Louisa left detailed wills, probate and a family history published in
1919 in the "History of SLO & Environs." .
