Prior to that, a succession of developmental moves brought forth Ontario County from Montgomery and Albany counties. Steuben County was named after Frederic William Augustus "Baron Von Steuben", a German drillmaster in the Revolutionary War. Land Ownership History
  In 1788 Phelps and Gorham obtained the Genesee Tract of 2,600,000 acres from Massachusetts by an act of the state legislature. Two years later, they conveyed to Robert Morris, the great colonial banker and merchant, the remaining unsold 1,200,000 acres. In 1792, Morris sold to Colonel Charles Williamson, agent for the Association of British Capitalists, nearly 1,200,000 acres, which became the Pulteney Estate. The territory was surveyed into townships and lots for the Pulteney Estate. In 1793 Colonial Williamson commenced a settlement at Bath, now the County seat."

In 1846, he married Isabella Hodgins; his wife's brothers, Thomas and John George, became prominent figures in the province.[1] Biggar owned a general store and served as postmaster at Carrying Place. He also served as commissioner in the Court of Queen's Bench there.[2] He represented East Northumberland in the Legislative Assembly of the Province of Canada from 1861 until Confederation.[3] He was defeated by Joseph Keeler for the federal seat in 1872 and then defeated Keeler in 1874; that election was appealed but Biggar won the by-election which followed.
