Can anyone help me with the following family who
lived in Miami Co Indiana.
Would like to find death for Mathew Bigger b. 1819 in Ohio
and probably died between 1871-1880 . His wife Mary is found
in the 1880 census Deer Creek Twp, no husband listed.
Mary was born abt 1828 in Ohio. Would like to find her death date
and where both are buried.
Also looking for Charles Henry Hine b. abt 1826 and died between
1860-1870. He is a brother in law to Mathew Bigger. The families
came to Indiana from Ohio about the same time.
Charles wife Elizabeth may be buried in Marion Co, but no
record of Charles, so presume they are not buried together
and Charles died in a different county.
Thanks for any help.

Sue, the Miami County Indiana library in Macy, Indiana has a nice little
genealogy section. They even have some volunteers who are willing to do a few
lookups for people. They also have a genealogy society newsletter where you
could put a query about your surnames your are researching. Worth a try :)
In the Miami County Landowners in 1877 listing there are two BIGGER surnames
in there:
Bigger J Deer Creek
Bigger JA Deer Creek
In the Enumeration of White Males over 21 years of age, Deer Creek Twp.,
Miami -- it lists a John Bigger age 21; John Bigger age 26; Joseph Bigger age 49;
and Mathew Bigger age 50
