G.G.grandfather was John Alogan BIAS, G.grandfather was John Alogan Bias, Grandfather was John Alogan Bias, Sr., Father was John Alogan Bias, Jr. (nickname: J.R. Bias). So far have found all white people with this spelling have been related. Apparently slaves took their master's name at time of freedom by Pres. Lincoln. Variations on spelling: Bice, Byce, possibly others. All the above were known to have lived in Ozark County, Missouri and had rather large families.
