Bigelow Society records from correspondence with family descendants.
Descendant note:  see also  David Bigelow 10 Parkinson
   Have you anything on Charles Hawkes Bigelow, who married circa 1845 to a Miss Briggs?  Marriage was in Northhampton or Springfield MA. (I also have an extensive line in Briggs)
   Just got some information on my Temple line, and several Bigelows tie in there also. Same for my Hoag & Haseltine lines.
I keep collecting folks.  I take all branches of families, as one never knows when one will find a vital connection.
   Will have to wait a bit for Ferrand's line.  I didn't connect with cousin Lucille, so I do not have her branch yet.  She is descended from Ferrand's youngest, Sarah.
   I have Civil War service cert. for Elverton, William and Franklin B. ;all sons of Ferrand. Elverton and William both served most of the war. Franklin enlisted and was killed in the mine explosion at Petersburg, VA. Also have cert. for Francis A. Bigelow.
   I also have letters Elverton wrote, one in 1865 when the armies were gathering around Washington DC to be mustered out.  As soon as I can gather info., it would probably make an interesting article for the Forge.
   I also have info. on Elverton's granddaughter Ethelyn Minerva Parkinson, dau. of Ethel Bigelow and James Nelson Parkinson. She is still living at 92.  She made her career as a children's books author.  This might also be of interest to the Forge.  Her "double cousin" was David Bigelow Parkinson, son of Truman David Parkinson & Minnie Bigelow. There has already been an article about him in the Forge.    Kathy Parkinson   E-mail    wraith@lakefield.net
