Descendant note:
I am descended from the NJ Bigelow's and have been working on the
family
line, ellusive as it is. A cousin recently discovered some
records
which shed a little light on this line and conflicts somewhat with that
in the Bigelow volumes. From deed records in OH: Heirs of
Aaron
Bigelow: Mary, Jabez, Sarah, Catherine, Daniel, John, Jonathan,
William,
described as all "brothers and sisters" to Aaron. Aaron, Jabez,
John,
Jonathan were also most probably the signers of the Petition in Morris
County with the same names listed, they would have been in their mid
twentys
to mid thirtys at the time of the signing. Aaron's widow is Hannah, the
record is not real clear, but indicates "widow Hannah", presumably
referring
to Aaron who the land records relate to. By 1817 Aaron, Daniel,
John
and Jonathan appeared to have died. From these records we also know
that
sister Mary Bigelow married Isaac Beach who was b. in 1742, Mary b. in
1748; sister Sarah Bigelow m.Samuel Cobb. Using Mary as a dob
guide,
her brothers and sisters dob's would be somewhere in the neighborhood
of
1735-60. The information was recently located by Bette Dickover
also
working on this line with me. The source: Butler County, OH
Land
Records, Vol 2:
1816-23, by Shirley Keller Mikesell, printed Heritage Books, Inc, pp
30-33, 52. As we progress on the line we will update you for
those
interested in the line. Any info on the NJ lines from your
readers
might help clear up muddled information. Particularily, info on the
parents
of Aaron, et al. It currently appears that they are descended
from
Jonathan 2 and Rebecca (Shepard) Bigelow, seeking
confirmation

Note2:
12391 Jabez 5 Bigelow, son
of Jonathan, (John, Jonathan, John) & Sarah (Ladd) Bigelow. Ca 1783
m. Sally Potter b. 1762. He signed 1776 Pequannoc Remonstrance &
served
in Revolutionary War. 1790 he was on census at Halfmoontown, Albany
Co.,
NY now Saratoga Co. In 1800 he was in Oneida Co. with 1 son and
two
daughters under age 10, 2 sons 10-16 and parents ages between 26 and
45.
In 1820 he was at Coverntry in Chenango Co. He applied and got
Rev.
War pension. In 1838 he wrote a letter from Chanango Co. to his
children
in Cuba NY and referred to his pension and family members and his own
approaching
death. We have no further records of him. See notes on
Jonathan
and Sarah (Ladd) Bigelow record indicating that by process of
elimination,
these were his parents. Did they have other children? See
FORGE
