Subject: Bigelow - Sarah

From: ROBERT MEIER <robmei2@prodigy.net>
My records indicate that Sarah married a member of the
Ransom Family (Elias?)and one of her sons, Asa, was
the first white settler in western NY state.
I am directly descended from them.
also, I think the Bigelow family traces it's family to
the Warren family.  The Earls of warren and then
through marriage to Willian the conqueror.

From:Paulette Wright   Paultte@aol.com
 Rod,
I have contacted you before and you kind enough to my answer to an inquiry on Dewey Harthorne and also post my Thomas
Paulger, information. ( my great great grandfather. Thomas Paulger was the brother of John Paulger, who married Celia
Bigelow. I noticed a MISTAKE in the year of birth for John Paulger. He was born in 1860 NOT 1850.   I didn't catch this
mistake earlier. See 1880 census below.
I just thought I would let you know, in hopes of correcting this information. Have a great day!
Sincerely,
Paulette Wright

Hi Rod,  I was trying to go to your Hall link and got the
message that something was wrong and linked me to your
email.
I am related to Bigelow, Burnham, Hall, Lewis, et.al., so I
guess we are true cousins.

 My grandmother WICKMAN was Harriet Sabin, daughter of Electa BIGELOW and
Bentley SABIN, daughter of Abel and Sarah BIGELOW.
My folks received a copy of LaVerne BROWN's research from Mr. BROWN himself.
I was a bit taken aback to learn that it was less than perfect, but I
quickly recovered. There's a lot of room for wallowing around among the many
errors of fact in the record books.
Happy Halloween.

Dear Mr. Bigelow, I recently investigated the painter, DF Bigelow, of a painting I inherited from my Grandmother. Enclosed is

Yesterday I found a message on my answering machine from a Kelly Corsin
(sp. ?). She spoke so rapidly I had difficulty understanding some of the
names in her message, even after playing it back several times. So, here
is the gist of the inquiry with some guesses at spelling. She called me
because she thought I was still the librarian.

She is with a firm "Harvey, Carmichael & Weirs", and is interested in a
manuscript for an article about the Grand Casapia River written by
Albert Marshall Bigelow sometime in the past. She had seen "his page" on
the Bigelow Society Website but has been unable to find out anything
about this manuscript. This is all the information she provided.
Her telephone contact is (734) 945-1890. I found that the area code is
for Livonia, Michigan.

Hi:
We have a researcher here who is looking to find a picture of Albert Marshall Bigelow (1835-1915). We see you have some nice genealogical information on your site and thought perhaps you would have ( or know where to find) an image of him.
If you do, we would really appreciate it.  The person asking for it can be reached at the following email address - linda@hoagy.com.  Or else, you can contact me, and I'll forward it to her.
Thanks.

      BIGELOW THOMASALLEN

      Transferred from:  STATE FARM MUTUAL AUTO INSURANCE COMPANY
In view of the closeness of Thomasallen to Thomas Allen and the number of
such individuals in the BIGELOW line, I thought to post notice among the
potential heirs 'round about.

I was surprised not to find any info on H. B. Bigelow, the famous scientist whom was professor of zoology at Harvard for
many, many years. He was a descendant of Horatio R. Bigelow and Annie L. Smith. Perhaps, I am just missing something
on your site. It is a great site!
Dr. Bigelow married into the Shattuck family, who were prominent members of the Boston medical community going way
back to the 1600s.

Dear Rod,
I have done a great deal of work on genealogy from people in Economy, Colchester Co., N.S. and I just found a connection to
your Faulkner's.
Ruby Bigelow married ca 1810 David Faulkner, son of Robert an Hannah (Marshall) Faulkner. David was born 03 July 1786 in
__, Nova Scotia, Canada.
Robert Faulkner was born in 1733 in Medford, Massachusetts and married Hannah who was born about the year 1745. My
notes indicate that Robert Faulkner was Hannah's adopted brother. Hannah and Robert came to Londonderry, Nova Scotia
from Medford, Massachusetts in 1762. Robert Faulkner died February 28, 1813 in Londonderry, Colchester Co., N.S.

 My husband is Martin Warner Chandler.  His father was John Warner Chandler,
born in Minnesota.  John Warner Chandler had two brothers, Martin Winship
Chandler and Woodley Chandler.  Their mother was Minnie Marie Stutz, born in
Washington D.C.  Father was Samuel Chandler.  Somehow this group was also
connected to Jamestown, New York.
Here in Cincinnati, our son Martin Weston Chandler(born in Washington, DC)
married Teri Jean Bigelow, from the Bigelows of Jamestown.  This is all a
coincidence, but my sister says (jokingly), "Now that Teri and Wes (Martin
Weston Chandler) know they are distant cousins, they have to move across the
Ohio River to Kentucky, where your family tree can be a telephone pole!
It's a small world.

Subject: Bigelow - Murray connections in Washington County New York
Date: Tue, 21 Oct 2003 02:44:59 -0400
From: "R Huston" <dragontango@hotmail.com>
Dear Mr. Bigelow,
I saw with some interest that there were two Murrays that married into the
Bigelow family line in Whitehall, New York. Do you know who the parents of
John and Peace Murray were? One of my ancestors, Peace Hatch, married a
Peter Murray -- however she seems to have died in 1796, and I can't seem to
find any record of her passing or grave.

I have the newspaper record about Ebenezer Murray and his children:
Murray, Emma 15y Whitehall, NY 1-8-1875 dau. of E.B. Murray
Murray, Eva J. 9y 3m Whitehall, NY 1-2-1875 dau. of E.B. Murray
Murray, George F. 11y 7m Whitehall, NY 12-29-1874 son of E.B. Murray
Murray, Hattie E. 13y Whitehall, NY 1-1-1875 dau. of E.B. Murray
Murray, Hiram 65y Reynolds Corners, NY 3-14-1875
Murray, Ida 17y Whitehall, NY 1-6-1875 dau. of E.B. Murray
Murray, John F. 7y 7m Whitehall, NY 12-28-1874 son of E.B. Murray
Murray, Katie 5y 6m Whitehall, NY 12-31-1874 dau. of E.B. Murray
Murray, William H. 6y 4m Whitehall, NY 1-3-1875 son of E.B. Murray

Rutland Herald
January 8, 1875
Out of Town Notes:
WHITEHALL
The people of this village have been greatly startled by an
almost unprecedented fatality from diphtheria. In the family
of Ebenezer Murray, seven children have died within about a
week and the life of the eighth being despaired of. Mrs.
Murray died last summer. When the children were taken
sick they were all kept in one room, and for some time failed
to receive the care and attention their situation demanded.
The facts becoming known upon the death of the first child,
several ladies of the Baptist society did their utmost to
relieve the wants of the family, and were untiring in their
efforts to save lives.
I hope we can find some more information. Thank you very much for your time,
Rebecca Huston
