Here some info that may help:
The 1850 census shows a "Joseph Biggs" (age 27) with a wife Pamela (age 25) and
son Francis M. (age 2). They are living next door to an Oliver(Abner) & Emily
(Miller)Biggs, which according to postings were Joseph's parents. If this is the same
Joseph Biggs, (f/o Clarence), then he may have been married 3 times. The only marriage
record I find that would be a close date is to a Milly D. Townsend. So I am not sure if
this census info connects to you Joseph and the child doesn't appear in other census
with Joseph, but am including it anyway:
