* The 1888 Cherokee Citizenship case of Dica Llewellyn includes depositions that identify Martha Biggs as the daughter of Lucretia Parris.
* Cherokee Old Settler Rolls, Jacquelina King's Citizenship case in the Cherokee Nation, family letters, tombstones, obituaries and census records provide the other indications.
* The Memoirs of Narcissa Chisholm Owens also identifies Martha and David Biggs.
* Oral family history has also helped to identified various people.
