From: Sylvia Anderson <sdta3@yahoo.com>
Enclosed is a time line of sorts for the family of Isaac
W. Bigelow taken from his pension files. Most were applications for
pay increase and medical examinations. There was no mention of children/dependents
and only the one reference to his wife Rosina. It is possible that
he and his wife Rosina were seperated or divorced, they do not show up
together in 1880 and Isaac seems to have wandered westward to where his
elders son's were living, while his wife was in Minnesota. Sylvia

I was researching the following razor made by Bigelow & Dowse and
came across your geneology information.
I wonder if you can provide me with the years that Bigelow & Dowse
Company was in operation,and if possible the age of the razor which is
on consignment in my Antiques Shop.
The razor was brought in to me in the Charles Mueller case. I am not
sure if the Bigelow and Dowse made the razors as promotional items for
Charles Mueller Company in Boston, or not.
Any information you can provide will be appreciated. The box with the
razor are currently priced at $175.
Should you or another family member wish to purchase them, I am sure
that my consigner would be willing to offer you a discount.
Chas. Mueller Boston, Mass. Tip Top Straight Razor
This wonderful old straight razor was made by Bigelow and Dowse Company,
Germany.
On one side of the embossed dark brown case (which is in very worn
condition), it has the words "Chas. Mueller 930 Washington Street,
Boston, Mass. " and on the other part, the words "Tip Top". This box is
made of a hard cardboard-like material and opens in the middle. It
measures approximately 6-5/8"X 1-3/8" X ½".
The Bigelow and Dowse Company razor itself is in great condition with a
smooth, grained yellow handle. There is no rust or pitting on this
piece.
The handle is smooth and measures approximately 5-3/4". The blade
measures approximately 5-1/2" and has the words "Bigelow & Dowse Co
Germany"on one side of the hilt, and on the other is the number 540.
Thank you in advance for your help.

I am wondering if you have information regarding Sarah Fiske Gibbs
who married William Henry Bigelow 30 Mar 1817 at Oxford, Ma.
I descend from her sister, Sabra (aka Sabrina) who married William
E. Stebbins 25 Mar 1827 at Oxford, Ma.
Any information will be helpful. I know the mother was Mary (aka Polly)
Cannon, but do not know Polly's parents.
Has anyone has ever checked the death of Sarah Fiske (Gibbs) Bigelow
who died 27 FEb 1864 in Webster,
Ma.? The death might possibly give the maiden name of her mother, which
I think was Cannon/Canon.

Rod, I wrote to appr. two years ago with some Bigelow info: I

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.

Daughter of Floyd and Martha Hazel Bigelow passed away May 24 at 7:15 PM
She would want me to let her family know I am sorry that she had to go
as she did but at 74 I am sure she was all ready from all that she had
done in all her life. Her brother my uncle Fred is still living in the
grandview nursing home in Grandveiw Wash still to day and he is the only
one left of the four childern that they had. I did get to sya bye to her
as well as the other two childeren she had Leslie Ervin Harris
and Kenneth James Ball . and god had given me the vision of the other side
and how she was going to be so much better there than here ...this vision
came before she passed the same day in 7th hour AM while she passed in
the 7th hour in the PM . I was thinking she was going to get better . well
I am sure you will be sad to hear of this news but willing to make sure
it gets where it needs to be. Thank you so very much ,

james and then I get the page with oops on it. I am looking for Edward
James or James Edward Bigelow b. 1860's. He came to Wisconsin from
St.
Albans, Maine. Many of my fathers 13 siblings share common nmes with
James and Louisa (Abbe) Bigelows children and I am hoping to find him
as
a cousin. Thank-you for all the hard work creating this wonderful site!
Family oral history has my g-grandfather, Ed Bigelow born Feb 1861
or 1867. He left St.
Albans (some say fled, because of some trouble) as a young man and
went to Stiles, Wisconsin. He married
Anna Tapin and worked on the railroad. I wonder if Edwin b 1858
deserves a closer look from me. I need

I am trying to find out information on an artist by the name of

Barnes Bigelow and am wondering if this may be the same person.
L H Barnes painted a portrait of my
grandmother in Savannah GA in 1944-45. He also painted portraits of
Hollywood stars and the pope. He died a
pauper in Savannah, Ga, July 1945 he was 61 years old when he died.
He was from Chicago and had been a
professor there. My father is trying to find information on L
H Barnes. The obit he has of him said that no
family could be found when he died. My grandfather an officer
in the Salvation Army in Savannah had been
taking care of him before he died.
Is this the Louis Barnes in your family tree?

I've found 3 Great Great Uncles military records. First of all,
Amos
A.-
16164.9At, joined Company H 5th NY Cavalry at the age of 34
in 1861 in Crown
Point NY. This unit saw a lot of action, including Bull Run,
Antietam,
Gettysburg and Appomattox Court House. His two younger brothers
got
involved after they moved to Wisconsin with my Great Great Grandfather
Joseph after Catherine Chilcot Bigalow died (her gravestone stands
in the
Stevenson Cemetery in Westport NY).
Daniel W.-16164.9Ct
joined the 49th Wisconsin Infantry Regiment in 1864
which saw virtually no action (guard duty at some obscure fort).
However, Hiram O. -16164.9E joined the 10th Wisconsin Infantry
Regiment in
1861 and was involved in Sherman's Campaign, seeing action at the Battle
of
Peachtree Creek (site of which was less than a 1/2 mile from where
I now
write this). He was mustered out in Marietta a few months later
(a few
miles North of Atlanta) and therefore did not participate in Sherman's
infamous March to the Sea. (I just knew I wasn't the first of
my direct
family to see Atlanta!)

Hi Rod,
I want to correct a mistake that was made on 15923.711t Israel S. Bigelow.
I gave his parent
as Eunice Bigelow 15923.713 that is not true....His parents are the
following: 15923.71 Israel L Bigelow and Nancy A Soffer Born 09/06/1794
Died 08/26/1824. At
this time Israel S 15923.711t went to live with his uncle 15923.77t
Dr. Eliphaz Bigelow. After Nancy's death Israel L 15923.71 married
Sarah Miller Born
01/10/1799 and died 08/11/? This is all written in Bigelow
family bible records that were received from the Westmoreland Co. Historical
Society. Also a another mistake made on this
line is that Israel L.15923.71 died in Centre Co. PA not Center Co.
OH.
The children of 15923.711 Israel Stover Bigelow his child 15923.7119t
Israel S. Bigelow is actually Isaac S Bigelow he was also the
youngest son. His birth date was correct as being 01/27/1859.
His marriage date was also correct as 09/29/1887. The wife listed
is
incorrect. His wife was Mary A. VanDuyce of Dubuque, Iowa and
one daughter Emily born 04/29/1889. Emily married a J. M. Dick of
Aurora, ILL. There was also a son Israel who is not listed,
he lived in Bozeman, Montana then moved to Long View, Washington.
This
can be verified by history of Dubuque County, Iowa 1911. The
Dubuque Herald Thursday March 22, 1900 the obit of Dr I. S. Bigelow.
The Telegraph Herald, December 12, 1927. The obit of Dr. I. S.

Hi Rod:
I emailed you a couple of years ago about the suspected divorce
of Poultney and Edith Bigelow sometime around 1910. I have journals
written by a family friend, Edward I. Horsman, Jr., who visited them
Jun 1901 at their summer home in France. Clearly Edith was not happy
in
the marriage and wrote a novelette "The Middle Course" which appears
autobiographical.....so much so that Edward Horsman was concerned
should Poultney read it! I have the novelette published in 1903 and
am purchasing the installment version published in "The Smart Set"
Jun 1901 issue. I am planning to publish the journals and would like
to know as much about the principals before doing so: I'm trying to
put
a human face on them all. Is there any chance of obtaining information
about the divorce? Is it covered in Poultney's 2 volume autobiography
or letters?
I would be happy to provide you excerpts from the journals which
address these relationship. I'm also interested in how the Horsmans
(Edward Sr. was the founder of Horsman Toys perhaps the major toy manufacturer
and importer at the turn of the century) and Bigelows might have
come to be such close friends. Any help would be appreciated.

From: Richard Smiraldi <rsmiraldi@yahoo.com>
Hello Rod.
As you probably remember, I am your distant cousin Richard (Lennard
Richard Smiraldi) - 12 generations from Anna Fiske and John
Bigelow. I was wondering if you knew anything about my great great
grandfather Abraham Lincoln Bigelow and his part in bringing the telephone
out to the mid-west. (Hence the Bigelow Exchange).
I know Alexander Graham Bell's assistant was a relative (or so I've
been told) and the family likes to think it was our relative who actually
made the telephone discovery.
Do you know anything about our relationship to Benjamin Franklin (his
wife was a Bigelow). True, Ben has a terrible history with the family
because of the ill-manner in which he treated his wife. Most of the
family say he's a relative - but only by marriage!
I'm interested in getting more involved in our family history. My sister
Lisa Christiansen is in the process of joining the D.A.R. Once this is
accomplished, I will join the S.A.R., but I don't think we can join
the S.R. or the Mayflower Society (I think we came over 10 years after
the
Mayflower).
Thanks for any help you can give.
Best regards,
Richard Smiraldi

From: "zephreny parmenter" <zephparm@hotmail.com>
Bigelows, Howes, Parmenters, Rices, Taintors and Cashmans all
came in through Boston in the 1600's. Grandma's father was John Bigelow
of the Northborough/Marlborough area, and he practiced architecture. Her
mother was a Howe
(my great great grandfather was Horace Bigelow, an entrepaneur and
social liberal who owned a shoe factory in Worcester Ma. He instituted
profit sharing in his company, built the White City amusement park in Worcester
and later donated it's electric generating plant to the city). Her
first husband was a Murray (2 children, Anne and Margie) and her second
was Paul Parmenter (2 kids, Dan- my father- and John, in CA now). She and
grandpa Paul were distant cousins, the Bigelows and Parmenters having known
each other since at least the 1750's if not longer. My father Dan Parmenter
married Kathleen Loughman (pron "Lockman"), the Loughmans being from MA
(Cape Cod) and NY (the Bronx- my great grandfather was a military man and
moved a lot. He was high ranking officer in the Navy and a set a record
for
the deepest sea dive in about 1913). I'm ashamed at the moment
to say I can't remember much about the Bigelow line beyond John Bigelow,
although I do know family tales dating back to the French and Indian War.

A.
Angell on June 29, 1851. My grandfather, Richard John Angell was born
in Oxford, MA. on Oct. 18, 1872. There was also a daughter Mary who
died on Oct. 24,1922. I'm not sure yet about any other children.
I've found that Mary died March 6, 1882. I'm nor sure where but will
forward any new info. I have confirmed that she was my great-grandmother.
Mary Jane Bigelow (16117.617) died March 6, 1882 and is buried in
South Cemetary, Oxford, MA.

I am wondering if you have information regarding Sarah Fiske Gibbs
who married William Henry Bigelow 30 Mar 1817 at Oxford, Ma.
I descend from her sister, Sabra (aka Sabrina) who married William
E. Stebbins 25 Mar 1827 at Oxford, Ma.
Any information will be helpful. I know the mother was Mary (aka Polly)
Cannon, but do not know Polly's parents.
Has anyone has ever checked the death of Sarah Fiske (Gibbs) Bigelow
who died 27 FEb 1864 in Webster,
Ma.? The death might possibly give the maiden name of her mother, which
I think was Cannon/Canon.Thanks Norma

The basic premise of the item
you referred to Rod Bigelow is correct, the problem lies with verifying
which Peter Roberts Alzina married, This is the same Peter Roberts that
appears on the earlier census with Ethan Roberts son of Joseph. The
fact is that a Peter Roberts born abt 1816 to Joseph could mean that he
was the brother of the Ethan on the
Plattsburgh census rather than the son of Ethan A Roberts & Sallie
Odler. Would like to get a date of death to obtain a certificate to clarify
but he last appears on the 1880 census and in 1900 Alzina is a widow.
As yet no verification either way. John

I have very much appreciated the various links to get info on the thirteenth

Rod,
I have just come across your Bigelow Society web site, and am interested
in some material.
During the past year I have been able to trace my line back to James
Bigelow (b 1762, MA , dc 1842 Wayne County, PA). I can document
back to
Edwin A. bc 1828 with b & d records and Edwins' CW discharge papers,
plus
census and a county history indication James Howe and James.
Does the Bigelkow genealogy provide documentation and anecdotals, or
just
names and dates? Either way, I am interested in acquiring a copy.
Thanks for the good work in making the material available.

From: Mike Biglow <mjb5491@iname.com>
I just checked the Orvis Furman Bigelow webpage and noticed some
corrections and additions for you.
http://bigelowsociety.com/rod8/orv86325.htm
1. Pingree is commonly spelled "Pingry," as noted. Pingry
was
Orvis's wife's family name, and she was the daughter of a Vermont judge.
The
family spells the name "Pingry."
also
On Marcus James Bigelow's webpage, his wife's name was "Emily
Jane
Wallace," so the name "Emily" should be added before the Jane.
http://bigelowsociety.com/rod7/mar72a26.htm
also
I guess I had never bothered to read the website on A.J. Biglow
before, as we were the source of that information, I didn't see the
need!
Also, I had not realized for a long while that you, Rod, had done such
a
tremendous amount of good work to get the genealogy onto the web.
Anyway, regarding this URL:
http://bigelowsociety.com/rod8/ado86321.htm
First, A.J. spelled the family name "Biglow" as did apparently his
father Barna, although A.J.'s brother Orvis Furman, the Amherst
physician,
apparently used "Bigelow," at least as it shows in contemporary
newspaper articles.
also

I just tried to contact the Kent Holbrook guy, whose address was
holbrookstein@juno.com. He no longer has that email address. Do
you by any chance have a current email address for him or a postal

A Margaret Moore Bigelow married August 24 1893 in Story Co, Iowa to
a Sidney G. Hamilton. Anyone have these people in their database.
Looking for their children.
Thanks for the info. It undoubtably is the same Margaret as Sidney
is buried in the Municipal cemetery also. She must have outlived
him. He died in 1923. Just in case you want to know, Sidney was the
son of Charles Hamilton (a Civil War Vet and buried in the same cemetery)
and Tennetta Hanson. Charles was born in NY.
1895 census states that Margaret and Sidney were Baptists. Sidney's
father was Protestant, yet 3 of his other children were Episcopal. Does
anybody know what religion Margaret's parents were?
1900 Iowa census lists Sidney G. and Margaret M. Hamilton of Story co,
with dau Alleen A. born Feb 1895.
I found out that Margaret Bigelow Hamilton died in 1948.
Margaret died May the 17th in Seattle, WA. Her spouse, Sidney died
Feb 19th in Silver Bow, Montana! H.
I am still trying to get Margaret Bigelow Hamilton's obit from
another when I decided that their dtr: Alleen married a Phillips
and is the
one in the SSI who died in 1968. Today I rcd confirmation of
that through a
small obit that I have forwarded to you. It mentions a Ruth Bigelow

Correction! Ethan Allen Roberts Breakthrough Still Not A Reality
Date: 11 Dec 2002 07:32:48 -0800
Please accept my apologies. I jumped the gun about having a
breakthrough with the ancestry of Sally Odler (Odell) the wife
of Ethan Allen Roberts. Liane Fenimore kindly pointed out that
the Sarah (Sally) Odler b. in 1796 was shown in an LDS Ancestral
File to have married a William Bowron (in the year 1816) and
had a daughter through this union named Charlotte. Our Ethan
A. Roberts and Sallie Odler had children born between 1810 and
1828.
Never-the-less, I think research suggests that we may be related
to the Odell families living near in or near Odelltown, Canada.
There were several Odell ancestors with the name Sarah from
that clan. Any suggestions or discoveries on your part will
be welcome.

Hi Rod,
Your page Baguley Page 5, that is still on the web, has given me lots
of problems. It would seem that the whole page was attrbuted to me when
it
clearly was not my page. In particular the mention of the Royal connection
through Lucy Carona. The first time that I heard that statement was from
seeing the family tree from Cecelia M Johnson-Baguley. As far as I know
Lucy Coroun (Corona), daughter of who knows? was the wife of Hugh
De Coroun of Adlynton
(Died 1291). Lucy then married Sir William de Baggiley. I would like
to know how this doubtful parentage of Royalty came to be so widely proposed
without any back up detail? I hope that you can shed some detail on this
point.

Dear Rod;
I have a watercolor painting which bears a signature that reads "D
F Bigelow." A newspaper clipping (Press Scimitar, Memphis, Tenn, Wednesday,
August 21, 1940), attached to the back of the frame, describes the watercolor
as a gift from the widow of the artist to his grandchild.
Curiosity about both the authenticity of the signature and the value
of the work led me to your website. I thought you might like to have a
picture of the work of art as well as a copy of the newspaper clipping
attached to the back of frame.
Yours sincerely,

It is a while since we corresponded.
It occured to me, today, to look at the DF Bigelow website and I saw the
picture of the watecolor sent to you.. Interestingly, there are other
emailposted from individuals in San Diego. It seems that DF Folgers
paintings have ended up here in high numbers. One of the emails referred
to the tragic death of Folger Allen Bigelow, also an artist. Are
details described in the website?
I have wondered how the
watercolor in my possession came to leave the possession of Folger H Bigelow.
Do you know what would have caused its dispersal from the family member?
I did recieve an email from a daughter of Folger Allen Bigelow, She
asked how the watercolor came to my possession.
