Horse Leaves Owner In Albion
Barre Center Resident Has Hunt for Animal
Albion, June 2 - Elmer BIGELOW, a Barre Center resident finished a
Memorial Day celebration yesterday by a visit to Albion. BIGELOW left his
horse and wagon in the Barnes drive barn, in Beaver alley, but soon returned
and drove it away. About ten minutes later he returned and asked for his
rig, and when informed that he must have left the animal on the street
or some other place, he spent the afternoon, assisted by the police and
several friends in trying to locate the place where he had left the rig.
It was later said that when the horse was left untied on the street it
started for home, four miles away, neglecting to wait for its owner.

Rod, I wrote to appr. two years ago with some Bigelow info: I
have a little more for you.
I have found info on Clarimond M. Bigelow, dau of Oliver G.
Bigelow and his lst. wife Elizabeth.
I found Clarimond on the 1850 Census of Cattaraugus co., N.Y. with
her parents as a 4 year old; on the 1860 Catt. Census as a 14 yr. old;
on the 1865 Catt. Co. census as a 19 year old. I next find her on the 1880
Censu of Benzie Co., Mich. with her husband, Henry D. Andrus at the
age of 34. I have recently found her burial record; she was buried in the
Inland Township Cem., of Benzie Co., Mich. she was listed as a resident
of Inland at her death, Her burial date was 27 Mar., 1892; I can't find
a death record as yet. To my knowledge she and Henry Andrus had no children
although Henry remarried and had a couple by his 2nd. wife. I will continue
to look for a death record for Clarimond and will send if I do find it.

I am the great granddaughter of George Custer Bigelow. Son of Daniel

letters from General Custer to the family. I know there has been a decrepancy
on whether Lebbeus Bigelow married a Elizabeth Custer or an Elizabeth Custis.
I can asure you that he married Elizabeth Custer. General Custer and Elizabeth
were cousins. Elizabeth's grandfather Paul Custer and General Custer's
great great grandfather were brothers. I've been trying to get on portions
of the Bigelow website but it comes back saying that slic.com and simplenet.com

I am a descendent of George L and Betsey(Ames) Bigelow.
Her parents were: Lemuel and Hannah (Chamberlain)Ames. More directly,
I am descended from George's daughter,
Prynthia J. and her first husband, Truman L. Hopkins b. 1838 in West
Canada, son of Orrin W. and Sarah Hopkins who
died in Newaygo county 1892 and 1893 respectively. She had two maybe
three sons with Truman, Charles b. 1869 (from
whom I'm descended) an Edwin A. and a Norman E. . At one point
I thought one, but I've found evidence for both Edwin
and Norman. My research is not yet finished.

I am searching for the parents of my g. g. grandmother, Susan Bigelow
(middle initial may have been
"E"). According to OH census records, she was born in 1824, Baldwinsville,
NY.
She married William R. Rand (son of Daniel Rand whose father was Daniel
Rand of Harvard, MA).
William R. Rand's mother was Lois E. Tanner.
Children of William R. & Susan (Bigelow) Rand:
Alfred Thomas Rand, born March 12, 1844, Baldwinsville, NY (my g. grandfather)
Alvira Rand, born about 1846, Baldwinsville, NY
Otis B. Rand, born about 1849, Baldwinsville, NY
Later children, prob. born in OH: Alice Y. Rand, Ellen Rand, Willard
"Willis" Rand and Fred G. Rand
This family moved to OH where, in 1850, they were living in the home
of William's parents, Daniel &
Lois Rand (according to the 1850 census of Vienna, Trumbull Co., OH,
District 142).
Naturally, my first thought was that Susan Bigelow's father must have
been Otis Bigelow of
Baldwinsville, NY. The fact that she named a son Otis served
to bolster my theory. Unfortunately,
there seems to be no record of her birth.
Any help will be tremendously appreciated! Many thanks in advance

At last I have typed and scanned the first of the remaining many

Hi my name is Kim Martin I'm from White Sands New Mexico and I am the
Great Granddaughter of
George Custer Bigelow. I have been attempting to look up my family
history for a while now and I came
across your website. It's really great I had know idea there were so
many Bigelows out there. I also
noticed you really didn't have much information on my Grandpa Georges
family. I know very little myself,
but I will be happy to share with you what I know. So far all I know
is my grandpa was a railroader. He
married my GG Minnie Brown in ST. Louis Missouri in 1916. They had
three Daughters Anita Bigelow,
Patrica Bigelow and Joy Bigelow. Anita died of Cancer in Dallas Texas
in the 1960's. She was married
to a man with the last name Sparkman. They had a daughter named Peggy.
Patrica is my grandmother.
She married George Harris (still up his family) in the 1940 in Carrizozo
New Mexico where she still
lives. She had two daughters, Linda Sue (my mother) and Cynthia Ann.
Joy is the baby. She married
Bill Gallagher in Carrizozo New Mexico where the live today. They had
three children. Debbie, and
twins Lynn and Grey. My GG George and GG Minnie lived in Missouri,
Oklahoma and finally settled in
New Mexico. They both wrote books about their lives which my family
has. They eventually divorced
because GG George cheated on GG Minnie. He remarried to a woman named
Ann apparently the
other woman. I always called her Grandma Ann. They lived in San Bernadino
California until his Death
in 1980. I'm working on getting copies of both my Grandparents books
so I can learn more about there
lives.

Mr. Bigelow,
I saw your address on the website for your
family and had to write to ask a couple of questions. I just found
out that one of my relatives worked for the company in the late 1920's,
early 1930's and I was wondering if you knew what the company did?
I am under the impression that her job was as a clerk, so I assume she
worked in the office area. Is the company still in business?
And do you know where it was located?
Sorry to bother you with this, it was just a spur of the moment thing.

Dear Mr. Bigelow,
We have come across calendar pages (May is missing) that list Brown
& Bigelow, St. Paul, Minn. at the top of the
pages. We are not sure but think they are from 1948. There
is not a year printed on the pages but someone penciled in
48 on one of the pages.
We are remodeling my husband's grandfather's camp and when he tore
out the walls in the kitchen these pages were
hanging there. Some are in good shape and some aren't.
Would there be any way of finding out when these are from?
Thank you,
Deb Holbrook

Just came across your web-site while looking up ancestors on
the web and thought you might be interested in this old newspaper article.
I am Andrea Evans Shotz, the daughter of Robert Bigelow Evans (son of Hattie
Bertha Pike
and Charles Warren Evans). Hattie was a daughter of Horace.
I was also born and raised in Worcester and spent summers at "Camp Pike"
in Paxton. How are you related? I'm just beginning my research on
my ancestors and would be interested in anything you might have.
This is exciting! Look forward to hearing from you...Andrea

Does anyone know the names of the children of Melvin Franklin Bigelow
and Eveline Burnham? According to the 1900 census, they were living in
Alden, Hardin County, Iowa, aged 55 and 52 respectively. Eveline was the
mother of 2 children, neither of them still living in 1900. They probably
married in May 1868 in Alden, although Melvin was born in Conway, Mass.,
and Eveline in illinois.

I portray Capt. John Bigelow in the 9th Mass. Light Artillery
Civil War re-enactors based in Northampton, Ma. I do have his pension
papers, many news clipings concerning his death, an original copy
of Baker's "History of the 9th" signed by Capt.
Bigelow, and an original copy of Bigelow's "The Peach Orchard".
Do you have any further information on the Capt. I want to enhance
my impression and would appreciate any information you could provide.
Thank you.

I was very excited when I came across the web site
about Captain John
Bigelow. I have recently finished my first historic novel about
another Civil War
hero, General Albert G, Jenkins, and am trying to decide who will be
the
focus of my next book. My wife tells me that it has to be a Yankee,
and it
turns out that John Bigelow is an ancestor of hers. A family
geneologist did a
family tree that puts her (Mary Louise Bigelow) as a third cousin,
twice
removed if I remember correctly.............................

Hello!
I was doing some reading on Capt. Bigelow and the 9th Mass. Battery
at Gettysburg, and I was wondering if you would
know if any schools were named after him. I attended Bigelow Jr. High
School (now Bigelow Middle School) in Newton,
MA, and was curious if there was a connection.
Thanks

BIGELOW in Hartford, CT Vital
Records
Posted by: Coralynn

Your surname is included in the Barbour Collection of town vital records
for Hartford, CT.
The link below will take you to a website with an incredible amount
of data for MA, CT and MI, but CT is the main focus. There is
already a very lenthy entry regarding old records of Hartford, and
now we're proceeding to put the Barbour vital records on as
well. Since this site is being added to almost daily, it would be a
good idea to bookmark it. The title of the website contains 4
surnames, but don't be confused: this is the site with the Vital Records.
Scroll down to the Hartford listing. The CT data is in alphabetical
order. Of course you may become distracted somewhat by all
the other vital records contained on this website, but this is a good
thing!!
If any of your ancestors lived in Middlesex County, CT, there are many
entries for that area. Near the top of the Resource listings
are Probates and Wills, with 204 Probates transcribed.
