Descendant note2:
Just a note to give you a quick report about our trip to Vermont.
It was a wonderful trip. The weather was wonderful and even though
we live in the foothills of the Berkshires and in the shadow of the Catskills
we felt like "flatlanders" in the Green Mountains of Vermont. It
has been 30 years since I have been there and I had forgotten how beautiful
it was.
We started off in the Town Clerks office of Ryegate Corners.
The clerk was very helpful and I was able to find many of the Bigelow records,
ie. birth, death and etc.
There were no surprises there but I bought the History of Ryegate,
published in 1906 . It has the Bigelow genealogy as it pertains to that
town. I found that Jabez 6 died as a result of
being kicked by a horse. The town clerk told us where the cemeteries
were and we went searching. The first one was easy to find and we
were able to find the graves of the John 6
Bigelows. The next cemetery was more of a challenge to find. It
was on a dirt road way up a mountain. We found no Bigelows there.
By now it was late and the offices in Newbury were closed so we found a
motel, ate and settled in for the night. In reading the town history book
that night I found that Jabez 5
was buried at Wells River( the town between Ryegate and Newbury)
In the morning we stopped at one of the little tourist info booths and
asked where the cemetery was.
Well, this was a trip and a half. The cemetery is up a mountain
and behind a farm. One must go into the farmers driveway and proceed
through to the cemetery. Fred and I went stone by stone looking for
Jabez. It is not an easy task as many of the stones are in poor condition
and almost impossible to read. At the very end of the cemetery were
a group of stones that appeared to have no writing on them and were old.
We looked behind them and found that the writing on them was on the other
side. There, big as life were Jabez 5
and Jabez 6. Very exciting
for me!!!! This was my first real find. I must say
that it was almost spiritual and we are now rethinking our decision
about cremation. I took pictures and hope they come out well enough to
read. The stones were in really good shape considering how some of
the others around them looked.
We visited the Newbury clerk next and got no info. I will get all of
this info together after I read the books,( I bought the Newbury History
too). I will create pages about the Jabez's along with the pictures
and scan them in to send you. If you want anything else let me know.
There is a lot of info re John 6 Bigelow
in this book. That info may already be in circulation.
Next, I guess I have to work on Paschal 7.
Thanks....Grace Bigelow Conover E-mail
