Kentucky: A History of the State, Battle, Perrin, & Kniffin, 3rd ed., 1886. Barren County. DR. CARTER W. BIGGERS was born August 28, 1840, in Monroe County, Ky., where he grew up. In his thirty-third year he removed to Barren County, where he has since resided. His father, George W. Biggers, was born May 3, 1800, in Virginia, and was for years a physician. He died December 31, 1876. He was a son of William Biggers, who was a native of Ireland. George W. Biggers married, about 1830, Nancy, daughter of Thomas and Pricilla (Evans) Sabens. To their union were born James T., Carter W., Mary S. (Frazier), Eva (Reynolds), and George W. Dr. Biggers married, June 30, 1864, Elizabeth, daughter of John and Julia (Ferguson) Payne. To them were born Millard F., Estella J. (deceased), and Alonzo. Dr. Biggers began, when eighteen years of age, to teach, since which time he has been making his own way in the world. For the first three years he paid his salary to his father; then for two years taught on his own account before beginning the study of medicine. After two years' study under the preceptorship of Dr. J W. Reynolds, he entered the medical department of the University of Louisville, where on account of sickness, he only remained a short time. Afterward he entered Ohio Medical School for one session, in 1865, after which he immediately commenced the practice of his profession at Sulphur Lick, Monroe County, and has since continued the practice with more than average success. He is the owner of 200 acres of well improved and productive land in a fine state of cultivation. He is a member, with his whole family, of the Baptist Church; is a thoroughly self-made man, and politically he is a Democrat.
