Is anyone researching this family please? I would like to get a War Of 1812 VA marker for Samuel's grave but need to know more about him if possible, especially his war service. 1820 Lawrence County, Ala. census Bigham, Samuel: 1,2,2,0,5,0,0,5 (S/O James Bigham [D 1815 Marion District, SC].

Was original settler [pre land sales] of Bigham Spring, later called Hickman Spring, now known as Pond Spring, site of the Gen Joe Wheeler home. The old log cabin on the site is poss Bigham's. Was a medical doctor. Click here for Bigham's 1819 autograph at the AL Archives. See also John Gregg, below.)
John Gragg married Samuel's daughter, Sarah Jane Bigham. Bible records indicate Samuel O. Bigham was B. 22 Dec 1777 (Where?) Married Patsy Long 30 Mar 1797 (Where?) (Note: other sources have Samuel marrying Sarah Alexander, research needed) Patsy was B. 8 Jan 1798 (1778??)(Again, no location). I have a loose connector into this line fron the Gragg/Bigham marriage; my 4th ggg, Samuel Gragg, was the father of John Gragg. Any help would be greatly appreciated please.
