Hi! I was wondering if you could help me. I found an etching of Babe Ruth by Reinhold H. Palenske, the printers were Brown &
Bigelow. I know that he worked for them doing advertising and he did some original etchings that they gave away. Do you know
what years he worked for them? It would help in dating my etching. Thank you.

Hello Mr. Bigelow, I'm attempting to find information on Claire Frye who served as art director at Brown and Bigelow for many years. I had the
pleasure to meet him many years ago. Any info you may have would be most welcome.
Thanks, Tim Tyler

Hi, First I would like to say that I have enjoyed your web site on the
Bigelow Family.  I was wondering if you had any info on Margery Bigelow
16C47 the daughter of Joshua Bigelow.  She would be the 5th generation from
John Biglo.   I think that I am a descendant of hers but I am trying to
prove it.  Is there a wedding record for her?  Thanks for your time, Dave Holcomb

I have not worked on this line for A very long time but have done a great deal of
research in Mass on my line of Warrens.The purpose being that family tradition has
it that my grandfather's Pingree line was related to Joseph warren of Bunker Hill
Fame.  I so far cannot prove or disprove this quote.  Do you know one way or the
other if this John Warren
http://bigelowsociety.com/rod/warren1.htm    and Joseph Warren are related in any
way?  By the way I have to thank you Bigelows for my even being able to begin to
find John Warren who heads my line of Warrens.  I connect into the John Warren
b.1678 and the 4th child of John(b.1622) and Michal Blois.from their we go to John
b.in 1701 to John born in 1739 in Paxton Mass to William born in 1769 in Paxton and
married to Amey Eddy(daughter of Azariah Eddy, who comes from the John Eddy line of
Taunton, and wife Priscilla(last name unknown).  William and Amey had a son John b.
in 1797(probably in Paxton) and this John married Lucretia Mirick who had a daughter
Amy or Anna Eddy Warren b. in 1828 in Paxton who married John S. Chase of Paxton
(son of Nathan Chase and Content Anthony of Swansea Mass).  They married in Paxton
in 1845. John Chase and Amy Eddy Warren had a daughter Carrie who was born in 1856
in Paxton and married my great grandfather Almon S. Pingree of Denmark ME.
With all the research we have done I have never been able to prove or disprove the
family tradition that says that John and Joseph were related and if so how, do you
know the answer to that?  Thank you for any help.  Joanne Edwards

I recently was given a book "Pure and I" and inside there is an inscription ( Miss Glady's Bigelow   from
papa) dated can't make out the month  day is 9th the year is1902. There is also a picture inside the
cover that was pasted on of I guess a lake scene with birch trees in the forground and Glady's
Bigelow printed below the picture. I was just curious if this person was a relative. Just trying to
research the value if any on this book. I couldn't even tell you how my Dad came into possession of
this book.
Sincerely
Patricia

Hi Rod,
   I am related to the Bigelows through Althina Bigelow who married
Henry Decker.  They are my ggrandparents and they were married in OH
in1857 at auglaize County.

   I have been unable to find the parents of Henry but I have the
history of Althina.
   Do you have any history on Henry? they had four children one being
my grandfather whom they seem to have disowned because he was in
vaudeville.

Thank you, Donna Decker Jones  ddotjdot@ameritech.net

 Hi Rod,I have been working on the Dr.Eliphaz Bigelow tree for many a year.He was my Great
grandfather's Clay Bigelow's Grand-Dad.I have learned not to take any information for granted.I have all of Eliphaz Children and Photo's of their headstones and have researched  all the children to the present which was a task.I have
come up with a couple things that  I do not agree with things I find on the net.Also I have done all
Eliphaz brothers that lived in my area.Lewistown,Allensville,Belleville all in Mifflin Co.Pa.And McAlevy's
Fort Huntingdon County.I was lucky enough to remember a lot of what my Great-grandfather told me,and
have found so far thru research that it has checked out.He said that thru his father's  Lebbeus S..Bigelow
's,Uncle, Lebbeus Lummis Bigelow that thru the Custers it went back to General Custer and thru his
Mothers side Priscilla Randolph's Bigelow  to Pocahontas

Thought you might be interested. I'm dumbfounded at the moment, because my
wife is a MAGUIRE and I come through the BAGULEY/ BEAGELY/BIGELOW lineage.

I am tracing our family tree a a gift for Christmas to my 3 nieces and my daughter.  I know my family line from John Bigelow of Watertown right through to me.  I have over the years acquired birth certificates and death certificates as well as marriage information of many of my decendents.  I am missing information on Jothan Richardson Bigelow.  He was born Dec. 23, 1820 in Phillipston, MA and was the son of Josiah and Lucinda Biglo, however, I do not have Jothan's death cert.  and died somewhere in Wisconsin.  I am also looking for Josiah's (Jotham's father) birth certificate.  He was born in 1788 (don't know exact date) and either in Guilford, VT or Guilford, CT.  He was the son of Josiah Bigelow and Sarah Culver Bigelow.  I think he died in Phillipston, MA
 I would appreciate any leads to this information
 Thank you,  Karen Dermody

 I traced my family roots all the way back to John Biglo and Mary Warren.
What I am looking for is the son of Henry Homes Bigelow and Mary Derby
Smith; Henry Derby Bigelow.  I think that was the link that was not working.
Do you have any info on him?

I don't see them in the 1901 census, so I presume they were born after April
1901.  Do you know anything more about these two children?  Are you
confident that they are, in fact, children of Clinton & Mary Jane?
Thank you,

I know you got your information from Rod so I don't know what to make of the
differences. Maybe you already have sorted it out and put your conclusion

Additionally there are some Baguley gedcoms that can be downloaded from
ancestry.com that appear to be other lines but use some of the same names. I
haven't sat down with it all, and I wonder if anyone is crunching all the
files available with whatever sources are given.
Any thoughts about this  would be most welcome, as it will
help me to put accurate information in my gedcom and leave out anything that
is still up in the air.

Some tidbits of info:

Jacksonville City Council 2002, considering ord. to place "granite marker signs" on four cemeteries...."Bigelow
Cemetery" is one of them. (Ord# 2002-425, I believe)

Eugene Bigelow noted on your web pages as a "Confederate". He joined the "Bartow Cavalry" under Captain
John W. Brady on 14 Oct 1861, as a private. This unit became attached to the 1st Cav, Reg. Florida State
Troops. (What happened then, I will leave to someone else. If anyone finds out...please notify me.)

Odd, four of the people died in 1868. Our "big" epidemics were Yellow Fever in 1877. Small Pox in 1883, and the
worst... Yellow Fever in 1888 which caused armed guards to be posted, the politicians to desert town, threats
against refugees from neighboring towns, mail to be fumigated, etc...  (Perhaps there was a lesser epidemic in
1868.)

      Henry W. Bigelow
      Sept. 23, 1884

      As a Scottish Rite Mason, I would assume this man
would have been in the northern Masonic jurisdiction. I'm a
32nd Degree of the southern jurisdiction. Frankly, since we
do have the fob - a necklace for my wife at this point - my
wife decided that since I'm a Masonic historic researcher,
I should find out more about Mr. Bigelow. A web site
suggests HWB was a 6th generation in your line - however
there's no additional info.
        I fear my family is just a newcomer - the earliest
records apparently are c. 1725.
