John Biggs of Frederick County, sick and weak. Will dat. 24 Feb 1760. To sons Benjamin and William and daughters Elizabeth Pittinger, Hendericka Barton, Mary Dodderridge, and Catherine Julien: the land where I live, Monocacy Manor, allowing my wife's use for one year after my death. Also to Benjamin and William: clothes, guns, and swords. To my wife Mary: 2 lots in Frederick County. and one tract called Good Luck, until my daughter Sarah Biggs is 16, and then only one-half of the tract for life. If Sarah dies before age 16, or has lawful issue, then the lots and tract to be sold after my wife's death and the money equally divided among my children named above. To wife Mary: various items of pewter, livestock, grain, farm implements, and one cider mill, she to pay my debts contracted over the last 9 years; also paying my daughter at age 16. To James Stell, my wife's son before I married her: mare. Rest equally among my children: Benjamin, William, Elizabeth Pittinger, Henderick Barton, Mary Dodderridge, and Catherine Julien. Stephen Ramsburg exec. /x/ Wit: Joseph Wood, Stephen Julien, Robert Whittnall. The above probate taken in the presence of the heirs-at law who made no objection. Proved 10 March 1761 by Julien and Whitnall, and they saw Joseph Hood (Sic) sign. Mr. Joseph Wood stated that on 21 Feb. 1761, a messenger summoned him to John Biggs' house, where he wrote out the will and read it back to Biggs and he was helped to sign, and heard him declare the will to be his last, but does not apprehend the deceased to be in his perfect senses at the time, and reason for this belief is that the testaor made a will just before the making of this will, which was quite different. /s/ Joseph Wood. 11 Mar 1761 in presents of the heirs-at-law who made objection. pp 152-4.
My research based on two monographs, "Colonial Descendants of William and Mary Hedges" and "The Stille Family in America 1641-1772" by Peter Stebbins Craig (now deceased), strongly suggests that the second wife of John Biggs was Mary the widow of Peter Stille who was born March 8, 1717. She was daughter-in-law to Jacob Stille and sister-in-law to Charles Hedges and his wife, Mary Stille (daughter of Jacob) who was born in 1715. Please note that they had only one child, Sarah Biggs, who married Revolutionary soldier, Joseph Hedges (son of Charles), in 1770 and went with him to Bourbon County, Kentucky, after the war where they are both buried 7 miles south of Paris.
