At long last I have found some of my family on the internet. I am the great-grand-daughter of William & Rebecca Bigelow. My grandmother was Agnes Bigelow, b. 5 Oct. 1858, d. 29 Oct. 1941. She was the 4th daughter of William.
Agnes married Truman Alonzo Horsley on July 14, 1897. My mother was Gladys Rebecca Horsley, b. 11 April 1898 at Wooler, Ont. She died19 Dec. 1973. Mother married my father, James Bruce (b. 25 April 1892) on 19 May 1920. My father died 21 July 1972.

More from Margaret Dickson 02/06/99:
I am sending an updated page to you for William's family. As you will see Margaret was married twice and Agnes was married three times. Winogene Kemp died in 1906 about three years after her marriage to Will Price. Thanks for all of your help. Most of this information is from the Bigelow Family Bible. Below is the information on the William Bigelow Family.
