Hi Sharon,
I've seen the Maryland census record for 1850, but this family isn't related.
They never went to Indiana; if I remember correctly that Laura stayed in Maryland and
married there. I haven't found Laura on the census of 1850 or 1870 so far. She might
be listed as 'L.Biggs' or 'L.A.Biggs' or something similar.
I found both Samuel and Daniel Wood in the Hopkins Cemetary in Fountain Co.
Samuel's first wife was Rebecca Hopkins. Daniel was also married before.
You're right about 'connecting the dots'. This is one instance where I know
more about my ancestor's neighbors than I know about them! As I mentioned before,
it's been a real mystery as to why-- with all these Biggs in the area-- and she's
probably related to them--why do they seem so absent from her life? All of these apparent
in-laws are around, but no Biggs. Maybe we'll find out-----
