Adda  BIGELOW

The following is a transcript of the copy of the notes my great grandmother Adda Timmons Moss made in the 1890's, probably while she was awaiting the birth of her only child, my grandfather Thomas Timmons Moss.  Adda had waited until late in life to marry, and she seems to have been a concientious researcher.  She carefully explains what she is copying, from whom she got it, when it was done in some cases, and who at that time had the original.  Where she was uncertain of spelling due to making out the handwriting, she indicates her difficulties.  The Bigelow notes were only a few of the pages she had copied, and were found among my grandfather’s effects when he died in 1973.  My mother left them stored in a trunk in her basement until I retrieved them in 1995.  I made numerous photocopies of the originals, and then set to work deciphering them, while I put the originals up for safe keeping.  No attempt will be made to correct spelling or other mistakes or misconceptions.
The Bigelow notes from my great grandmother's papers.  Adda Timmons (Mrs. Hugh Houston) Moss was the daughter of  Thomas Foster Timmons and Mary Dimmis Daugherty of Madison Co, OH.  Mary Dimmis was the daughter of Mary Milvina Bigelow, daughter of Isreal 6 and Eunice Kathron.
