General Notes: Husband - Alexander Biggs

---

He was a remarkable instance of the strange vicissitudes of life. He was an Englishman, and in early life held a commission of lieutenant in the British army, and served in the East Indies, where he was taken prisoner, and became intimately acquainted with Oriental manners and customs. For many years he was employed in a military capacity on the continent of Europe and in the Mediterranean. Being a republican in principle he came to America, being in affluent circumstances, but was unfortunate, and after experiencing the blessing of riches and the miseries of poverty, he died in a lonely cottage among the Allegheny Mountains. After traversing the banks of the mighty Ganges his remains reposed in the silence of death on a bleak hill near the banks of Logan Branch.
