Smith/Biggers/Blue/Henley/Brooks from Virgina
I am at a stand still trying to locate my ancestor’s when it comes to Thomas Smith-Biggers’s (b. 1869/70) mother and is biological father. His mother, Maria(h)'s Biggers Certificate of Death shows her mother's name as Sallie Blue (Blue is her maiden name). Thomas BiggersCertificate of Death show his mother's maiden name as Mariah Brooks and her Marriage License to Henry Biggers shows her name as Maria Henley and parent's first names on the marriage license are unlisted but last name as Henley. 1910 census shows that Maria(h) was married twice. Maria(h) would have been born abt 1850-1852 in Albemarle Cty. Va. the same place her husband was born and the "Henley" lived. She died in the district if Ivy, Albemarle, Cty., Va. Dec. 20, 1914. Thomas Smith-Biggers died May 15, 1952 in Fayette Cty. Wva. he wasthe step son of Henry Biggers. His Certificate list his father as "unknown", as does Maria(h) death certificate, yet Maria(h) marriage license list parents as ______, Henley. I can't find any more information on Maria(h), her 1st marriage,her parents or Thomas's father. My ancestors race would be Black/Negro/Colored/Mulatto. I am totally lost on this on.Would appreciate any help anyone could give me. Thank you and God Bless.
