Biography

Julia is buried at Jones Cemetery in Grant County, Arkansas. Her daughters, Minnie and Annie, who married Vanlandingham brothers, are buried there as well. Her Find A Grave Memorial is under Julia Ann Bigham, recently corrected from Bingham.

Her daughter, Sarah Elizabeth, married Julius Benjamin Beckham Morgan, son of her brother, William.

I noticed the couple married a few counties away from where the family resided, making me think they may have eloped because they were 1st cousins and marriage between 1st cousins was likely illegal. And/or the family objected. -JAH
