Subject: Louisa de Haven
Date: 09 Sept 2004
From: Jim Conway < Conway@ci.monterey.ca.us >
Mr. Bigelow,
In 1941 when Louisa de Haven died she willed to the City of Monterey
her art collection. After 18 years of legal wrangling, which you are
familiar with, the City acquired the art through a third party.
Over the years the collection has become an important collection because
of the
California Artist she had collected. While researching more
about Louisa I found your web site which is most interesting. What
an important
family in American History.
Although I have read the will, and much of the probate, along
with the 1920 Readmission hearing before the House's Committee on Immigration
there is much I don't know. It makes me more interested in how
she came to Monterey. It has the makingsof a great study and journal
article.
We have several early pictures of Joseph Edwin de Haven, George A.
Bigelow and Abraham Bigelow with his midshipman son George. They were
part of Louisa's estate. What we don't have, and would like to have, is
a picture of Louisa or as the family called her Gussie. Do you know of
any pictures of her?

I reached your site and the Bigelow Society site and was
much impressed. I'm going to be spending days and days tracking down
family members. Thanks.
I can send you some information on Folger A. Bigelow as soon
as I dig into my files and have a chance to xerox what I have.
He was the son of Daniel Folger Bigelow, the artist, and was, I think,
an even better artist than his father. Unfortunately, he died in a gun
accident when he was 24 and that was that. We have several of his paintings,
including a charming one of what we think was his house and dog, done
when he was only 14.
Cheers,
Jo Tunstall

Hello, cousins.

This one is for Charles F. Bigelow, Dundee, Michigan, son
of Chandler B. Bigelow and Mary Walker Fulton. I am still hunting
for obits for Chandler.
I have transcribed the wills of Chandler's daughter
Frances Amanda Bigelow Smith, and the wills of her grand-parents,
Deacon Benjamin and Susannah Wright who mention Chandler B. as son-in-law.
The will of Chandler B. himself should be here next week. I am still
looking for the proof that Chandler was son of Otis Bigelow, Jr. and Harriet
Butler (Henrietta). This a Mayflower line to John Howland and
John Tilley. (The things one does for one's grandchildren!)
I cannot find a record of the marriages, or the births of Chandler and
Otis, Jr. Do you have any clues about what does exist?

Rod,
Hello. I recently saw your site on the Bigelow/Baguley family.
I descend from this family,from Ellin Baguley who married John Leigh(Venables).
On your chart of the Descent of Baguley/Bigelow family in
England (http://bigelowsociety.com/rod/baghist1.htm)
you have Ellen as dau. of William,son of John,son of Ralph,son of
Richard. On another part of your site (http://bigelowsociety.com/rod/baguley5.htm)you
show this a bit differently. Could you confirm or deny the descent
of Ellen as shown on the chart?
Also I see that you show Lucy/Lucia Corona as a dau. of
Edw. II,not Ed.I as I would think by the dates,in one spot,but show
Ed.I as her father in another. I gather you meant Ed. I in both areas.
I thought you'd be interested that Lucia also married Hugo
de Corona (Jr.),who also married Anabell de Bamvill;Lucia had son Thos.de
Corona with husb. Hugo de Corona (Jr.)(Ref.Visitation of Cheshire,1580,pedigree
of "Pro Leigh de Lyme".

Subject: Etchings
From: Beth Rice BRice5623@AOL.com
Date: 05/15/04
Dear Rod-You may not know anything about these etchings-They were given to me
in 1957 by a Dr. in Wichita Kansas-He received them at Christmas time from a
funeral home. There are 4 etchings and at the top in very small printing is
Brown & Bigelow.St.Paul,Minn. Printed in U.S.A. It states inside the folder
that Lionel Barrymore authorized that they could be reproduced in Talio-Chrome.
There are 4 etchings all done on the island of Nantucket-which was Lionel's
favorite place to sketch. It states that he surprised everyone when they
discovered he had this other talent. Those originals are collectors's items. I don't
know much about etchings but they are lovely! But I am wondering if someone in
your family has some originals. It has taken me all this time to finally frame
them. It was ironic that the Dr. gave me these and cautioned me that they
were not junk(I was only 20 years old at the time)and the ironic part is that my
g-grandfather and 6 of his siblings were all born on that island.

I have uncovered quite a bit of information and am now seeking contact

They had two children and I am wondering if their

Ezra's mother was Mary Bigelow. I have attached a picture of the Ezra Lee family, another with the names (photo back), as well as a list of descendents of Ezra James Lee.

Hi, just for a kick I typed in Anson Bigelow on the computer--what a surprise to find the listing.
My husband and I have lived in an old brick house outside of Ausable Forks for 23 years. We once
tried to trace back deeds at the county clerks, but found we got lost in the scribe of the day.
Recently, a previous (short term) owner mailed me all the deeds up till she bought the place. The
first mortgage deed was dated 1883 from Anson to Irad Bigelow, stating Anson had been a farmer and
lived on the farm "in his lifetime". Not sure if he built the house, or his father built the house
and what year. I was wondering if you had any information--the place originally had 167 acres.
(Old pictures of this house are greatly sought after if you know anyone who has some and may be
able to scan

Good Morning, Rod,
I am researching the descendants of George
JESS, Sr. and Louise Catherine 'Lisette' PAYZANT. That
of course brings me into the Weaver and Bigelow families...descendants
from the first generation of seven children. On page 284-5,
the descendants of Martha JESS and Benjamin WEAVER are listed.
However, I need your help, please. The four children for Benjamin
BIGELOW and Ruth COX in the Payzant-Jess-Juhan book are not the
same as listed in http://bigelowsociety.com
If you can help me on this I would appreciate
it. I am also researching the Payzant descendants as
well.
At the Jess-Payzant family reunion at Port
Williams 18-19-20 July 2003, I presented my research of the
Jess family of North Kingstown, RI, Falmouth, NS, and Scott's
Bay, NS. If you wish I can e-mail it to you. As my
research of the Jess family progresses, I place a copy in the Kings
County Museum. So far, I have submitted two editions.
The third one may be ready by June 2004.
