Author: GENEALOGICAL AND BIOGRAPHICAL RECORD

JAMES BIGGINS resided in Will County for almost a half century and was well 

known among the farmers of Dupage Township. He was born in County Monaghan, 

Ireland, May 11, 1822, and spent the first eighteen years of life in his native 

land. On emigrating to America he at once settled in this county and afterward, 

by energy and industry, accumulated a valuable property. February 9, 1861, he 

married Miss Catherine Prior, who was born in Ireland and, like himself, was 

reared in the Roman Catholic faith. They became the parents of six children, 

namely:  Eugene, James, Edward, William, George and Mary.

Mr. Biggins died in Dupage Township June 15, 1884.  His brother, Owen, who 

accompanied him to America and also settled in Dupage Township, died April 19, 

1885.  Both were law-abiding citizens of their adopted country, and were worthy 

of the esteem in which they were held.
