- Description
- Henrietta (called Hettie) Almira or Elmira (Munn) Bigger and grandson, Harold C. Biggar in 1917.
Harold grew up to farm on the north side of Burnhamthorpe, west of Trafalgar and raised his family there. As of 2016 his son, Norman Biggar, still owns some of this farmland. Before his retirement, Norman farmed 2500 acres in the area. - Notes
- The gravestones of the older family members use the spelling "Bigger" as does the Tremaine's maps. But family members also commonly used the "Biggar" spelling. Both spellings should be checked by researchers.
