Notes for REV HAMILTON BIGGAR:
Rev. Hamilton Biggar,
superannuated Minister of the Canadian Methodist Church, Brantford, was born in
Queenston, Canada, Jan. 6th, 1806, and is a son of Robert Biggar, a native of
Scotland, who came to this country between 1804 and 1806.
He was a farmer by
occupation, and located in Lincoln County, of the Niagara District, where he
resided until about 1810, and then removed to Stony Creek, where he lived
during the War of 1812. He was too old to actively participate in that trouble,
but three sons took part. In the winter of 1816 he removed to Mt. Pleasant,
this county, where he located on 100 acres of land.
He was a prominent
citizen in the early days of Brant County, and resided there until his death.
he married Amelia Lauder in Scotland, who was the mother of 11 children, three
of whom yet survive. She died in 1826, and Mr. Biggar in 1836 or 1837.
Our subject was the
ninth child of this large family, and was ten years of age when he came to this
county. From here he went to the bay of Quinte and resided with a brother for
nine years, until of age, when he attended a district school at Cobourg, and
soon after entered the ministry of the Episcopal Church, the church having that
name until 1833, when it was changed to the Wesleyan Methodist.
Mr. Biggar was a
missionary, and established the Indian Mission for the Chippewa tribe at Rice
Lake, near Cobourg, in 1827. He was there two years, and then went to
Hollowell, now Picton, Circuit, Bay of Quinte, and was there one year; at
Whidbey, one year; London, one year; Westminster, one year; Long Point, two
years; Cobourg, one year; Yonge Street, two years; Nelson Circuit, two years;
Drummondville, two years; Mohawk Mission, four years; Cobourg, Treasurer of the
College, two years; Grimsby, two years; Dumfries, two years; which later closed
the year 1852.
Mr. Biggar then
retired from the ministry, and settled in Brantford. In January, 1853, upon the
organization of the county he was appointed Treasurer, held that office
fourteen years, and resigned in 1867 on account of bodily infirmities. Since
then he has retired from active life, not having preached for two years.
He was married in
1832, to Eliza Racy, a native of Mt. Pleasant, and they were the parents of 9
children, 8 of whom are living; only three in Brant County; Charles, In
Brantford; Fannie, at home; and Mrs. Simpson.

father located on the farm now owned by the former, and being reared to farming
pursuits, he early assisted his father. At the age of thirty years he went to
Brantford, and engaged with his brother Hamilton in mercantile business. He
then moved back to the farm, and drove the first team that ever crossed the
bridge over the Grand River at Brantford. He purchased a farm on Whitman’s
Creek, Brant County; but six months later, in 1838, on the event of his
father's death he came to the home-farm, and has since resided there. This farm
consists of 114 acres on first range, Lot 10, Brantford Township. Mr. Biggar,
who is a Reformer in politics, represented South Brant for seven years, between
1850 and 1860, in the Upper Canadian Parliament. He has been a member of the
Township and County Councils, as well as Reeve in Brantford Township. He is a
member of the Wesleyan Methodist Church, and is a life member of the Oddfellows
fraternity. Mr. Biggar was married in April, 1831, to Jane Ellis, a native of
Mt. Pleasant, and to this union seven children were born, four living - Mary,
widow of Archibald McCallum, of Hamilton; Hannah, wife of Rev. Mr. Griffin, of
Guelph; Herbert, on farm adjoining that of his father; and Sarah. Mr. Biggar's
first wife died about the year 1868 or 1869, and he again married in 1874, his
second wife being a Mrs. Marion Long, of Brantford, who died Dec. 15, 1882. His
first wife was an adherent of the Methodist body, and his second originally
attended Zion Presbyterian Church, but on her marriage with Mr. Biggar joined
the Methodist Church.

Notes for HENRY PERCIVAL BIGGAR:
He Joined the National Archives of Canada
and served as chief archivist for Canada in Europe from 1905 until his death.
Henry Percival Biggar, historian, author and
archivist, born in Carrying Place, Ontario, August 9, 1872. Biggar was the
premier historian of New France (Canada) of his day. He translated and edited
the writings of both explorers Jacques Cartier and Samuel de Champlain.
In 1920 the pre-eminent historian of New
France, Henry Percival Biggar, discovered the original Montcornet painting in
the Bibliothèque Nationale in Paris. His 1654 engraving was not of Champlain,
but of Michel Particelli, Controlleur-Général des Finances under Louis XIV.
This is the only contemporary picture of Champlain. The tiny figure appears in
his own drawing of a battle against the Iroquois at Lake Champlain in 1609. The
sketch comes from the 1613 edition of his memoirs, Voyages du Sieur de
Champlain.
