Governor Samuel Bigger

Samuel Bigger (March 20, 1802–September 9, 1845) was a Whig governor of the U.S. state of Indiana from December 9, 1840 to December 6, 1843. He was born in Franklin in Warren County, Ohio, the son of John Bigger, the Ohio House of Representatives Speaker of the House. Samuel Bigger was a student at Ohio University in Athens, Ohio in the 1820s. He received both the A.B. and A.M. degrees. Bigger later moved to Liberty, Indiana in 1829. His governorship was beset from the state’s debts, resulting from the failure of the internal improvements program. He died in 1845 in Fort Wayne, Indiana and buried in that city's McCulloch Park.
