I questioned this last statement by Numbers many times. No one produced solid documentation. - September 2013, I found documentation! I searched for an Arkansas Birth Certificate for Johnie J. Biggs.

Mother: Etta Mustain. - Johnie J. Mustain/Biggs is NOT a child of Andrew Allen Biggs! John J. Mustain/Biggs is a Stepson to Andrew Allen Biggs.
