I would like the following message posted to the Bigelow query board
and in The Forge.
Mary Ann BIGELOW, born abt 1815, married William WILLSON abt 1836.
The family legend says Mary Ann's father and brothers were doctors and
did not approve of her choice of a husband. It is also said that
she is related to the Bigelows in the carpet industry and Herbert Huse
Bigelow of Brown and Bigelow. William and Mary Ann appear on
the 1850 Census,
Allegheny Twp, Venango Cnty, PA; from here they moved to
Iowa. by 1870 they have three more children: Samuel Elija-
b: 1851, Israel- b: 1853, and Lucinda- b 1857. In 1856,
72 year old Martha Bigleow lives with the family. She is gone by
1860. Husband William is no longer with the family in the 1860 Census.
I am eager to find a connection to Mary Ann
BIGELOW. I have descendent information to share.

From: "Duane David" < wzbngpop@worldnet.att.net

I was going to contact you direct before I placed the query,
but I know how many requests for information you
must get, so I decided to do it through the forum first. I was
really fishing for a long shot concerning Joseph and son Charles, but thought
it was worth a try. Unfortunatley we don't have a match according
to what you have posted with the link you provided to your site concerning
Joseph 8.
Someone else requested some information about my Butler lines this
morning so I have the information typed out. I thought that you might
find it as intriguing as I do, so I'm sending you a copy and paste of this
information also. It involves two Bigelow
families. I'm still trying to find the ellusive Charles Bigelow
that I have posted in your site's query section.
Thanks for being there for me. Duane David
Thanks for taking the time to answer my query. You said you were
interested in my Butler lines, so I'll piece it together for you the best
I can with what I have to date. It seems that if I can just get past
this one particular generation, I'll have it made. I'm tracing both
backwards and forwards. I think I may have three branches now descending
from Deacon Richard Butler, but still have to fill in some blanks.
Even more amazing is Richard's wife Elizabeth Bigelow. I have another
Bigelow/Butler marriage occurring 150 years later, and I know I'll find
a connection somewhere. Ok, where to start?....from Richard:

Subject: Electra Bigelow and Bentley Sabin
Date: Wed, 07 Jul 1999 15:37:13 -0500
From: PJS < pendon@execpc.com

Looking for info on the above... believe Bentley Sabin is related to
my husband's ancestors from Dutchess and Rensselaer Co NY. My husband's
family migrated to Marshall Co KS 1860s/70s - Irving KS (also lost to the
Tuttle Creek Dam Project)... then they moved into Blue Rapids.
Bentley Sabin (who married Electra Bigelow) is s/o Jonathan Sabin and
Mary (Dake) Runnel (they were married Susquehanna Co PA, she was a widow)...
they left PA and moved near Seneca Lake in NY and then on to Niagara co
NY about 1810. Jonathan is s/o of Capt. Joshua Sabin bc 1760 Dutchess co
NY and Desire Niles... does this match what you have... do you have any
other information? Capt. Joshua is my husband's direct line of Sabins.
We have been searching forever to find a Sabin
researcher who descends from Capt. Joshua's children (there were 11 of
them!). Do you know of anyone actively researching this Sabin/Bentley line?
I tried the e-mail at Electra's page Stanley Wickman but it bounced back
to me.
Thanks, Penny and Don Sabin pendon@execpc.com

Joseph Bigelow and his wife Betsey Lammen were married 4 Feb. 1807, in
Morris Co., NJ. Their son, Joseph, was born 4 March 1812, in Warren

Rust Bigelow there looking at me! : )
You see, he was my Step-father for such a short while. I am the youngest
daughter of his wife, Annie. Actually, I believe I sent the photo, which
was taken on their wedding day, to a Jane Roth, in Santa Rosa CA. and gave
her all of the information she
need for her genealogy during that particular time of his life. He
was a real sugar-bear.....and he made quite a difference in my life, as
I was just going into my teen years then. Between Annie, and Pop,
as we called him..they worked very hard at making a home for the two families.
We were all very sad when he had a heart attack and died at Christmas time.....and
it
took the new family quite a few years to adjust to not having him in
our lives. Thanks for doing such a fine job with your Genealogy and your

I am doing a search on the Bigelow family for a friend of mine. I have
a copy of a letter that was orally given by Lucy May Bigelow to her daughter
Marla Mae Carter when Lucy was 87 yrs old in 1964. In the letter she tells
of John Bigelow marrying Mary Warren and of their son Joshua's marriage
to Elizabeth Flegg. Then there seems to be a generation missing and she
says, "Your great great grandfather Henry Bigelow born in 1794 and your
great great grandmother, Julia Levanway was born in 1806. They were descendants
of some of the colonists Bigelow." Can you tell me how this Henry and Julia
were related to John and Mary or if they were even related at all? Also,
I did some extensive research on the LDS Site and was tracing the
Warren Line, before I found you and your site. Can you tell me if a
William De Warren really married Gundried Princess Of England in abt 1077
and if her lineage goes back as far as 190??? You may not know the answers
to all these questions, but I wanted to ask to be sure. I don't want to
give my girlfriend alot of wrong information, and I am fairly new with
the genealogy, but run into very nice people that are more than willing
to help. Thank you for any information you can give me on these people.

interesting question right now is who was the Sarah Bemis that immigrant
John 1 supposedly
married in 1694: the widow of Joseph Bemis, or the daughter? As far
as I can tell, there is no evidence at all that the daughter lived past
infancy, aside from Bond's assertion that she was the one who married John.

Mary married William Livermore
I have dates and other information on these Bigelows if anyone needs
them.
My question involves the following excerpt:
Grace Sanderson LIVERMORE was born March 29, 1809, in Watertown;
married there Oct 4, 1832, George, son of Alpheus and Eunice (Mixer) Bigelow,
born Oct 14, 1803, in Weston.
Is Alpheus Bigelow's father also named Alpheus, born 1757? If
not, who is his father, and who is his mother?
Who are the parents of Eunice Mixer?
I currently have over 8000 names in my computer. If you have
a question, perhaps I can assist you. Thanks

I am Harold George Bigelow, son of George Royal Bigelow.
May I suggest a few additions/corrections for this website? George
was born 1 Oct 1881, Josephine is deceased, (I can furnish exact date),
Miriam had 3 children, Josephine had 2. I am retired both from the Air
Force and teachng. I was substituting in a middle school today
in the computer lab. I was fooling around on the computer and ran
across your web site on my dad, George Royal Bigelow.
From home here in Firfield, CA The only 'correction' that I have
is that my dad was born on 1 Oct 1881. I do have several 'additions' however:
I don't know if you intended to provide the names of the children of GRB,
but you can do whatever you want with this info. My brother, Daniel
S. did have 4 boys - George Campbell, John Douglas, David Harold and Timothy
James. My sister, Miriam, had 3 children - Nancy Kay, Judith
Lynne and Frederick Eugene Jr. My sister, Josephine, deceased 11
Mar 1997, had 2 children - James Allen Hagerman, and Edith Ann Hagerman.
She married Ord Glen Hagerman. I have 5 Children - Douglas Hawkins, Mark
Carl, Susan Ellen, Robert Ross and Matthew Royal. My dad was an attorney
in Olympia, WA I forget what else you might want to include, being
unfamilar with web pages/sites, but will gladly furnish anything else you
might want. My sister Miriam, is in a nursing home. I do appreciate
the fact that someone put my dad on the net!! - Thanks!!

You have Bethune Bigelow married Arabella Beattie. I don't have
much information on her, but she was the daughter of my gg grandparents
John Crist Beattie and Charlotte Adeline (Adams) Beattie. I have
her birth (from family records) as being on 6 Nov 1867. I assume
she was born in Oakland Co., MI. I also have Bethune and Arabella
as having 3 children not listed on your page: Shirley, Kenneth, and Janice.

I am a descendant of Thomas Hastings and Margaret Cheney of Watertown,
MA. Recently I had contact with a descendant (a distant cousin) who is
a descendant of Samuel Hastings and Anna Bigelow; Samuel was a gr grandson
of Thomas and Margaret. Anna (as per Lydia Nelson (Hastings) Buckminster's
"Hastings Memorial...") was a d/o Capt. Joseph Bigelow
and Martha Brigham. Anna was b. 14 June, 1737 (Probably in Shrewsbury,
MA).
I am doing some research fo the aforementioned cousin and would appreciate
any comment on your part.
As an aside, there seems to be a connection to John Warren of Nayland,
Suffolk through Phineas Warren and Grace Hastings; Grace is also a descendant
of Thomas and Margaret Hastings.
Nothing urgent here, reading you Home Page sparked my interest. Best

I just ran across your Bigelow site, and it's very impressive.
It will take me some time to assimilate it. I tried to follow the
link to Jairus, son of Jairus. I am descended from his daughter Helen,
who married Stephen R. Thorp. I was curious about your information,
since my Bigelow source has her dying young. I have pictures and
scrapbook item nailing her down. I'll bookmark this and try to check
on it later. Craig L. Burns
see Jairus 7 Bigelow.....................................ROD
More:
I got your message and followed your link. Thanks for getting
it repaired. This follows the info in The Bigelow Family Genealogy,
V 2. I have some fairly compelling evidence that Helen lived until at least
1938. I have pictures of her, labeled and dated, until then.
She married Stephen Rowell Thorp abt 1870, and had two children, Edmond
Lucian b. 1872, and Beade (or Bert) b. Aug 1873. I have Stephen's
scrapbook, which consists mostly of newspaper cuttings without dates or
paper name pasted on. There is also a letter to "Helen and Children"
signed "Affecionate Mother and Grandmother, Margurite Bigelow", which was
pasted onto the back cover. I have attached a scan of this note
to this message. (see Marbig1 )
There is an obit. for Mrs Margaret Bigelow, 85, native of Switzerland.
Her husband, Jairus Bigelow d. 20 yrs previosly. She died at home
of son Lanes in Mundy township, Genesee, MI. She had been a resident
of Mundy for 54 years. She leaves 2 daughters, Mrs. Stephen
Thorp and Mrs. Josephine Shaw. She was burr. in the Whigville
cemetery. Over this obit. is penciled "Mother" in Stephen Thorp's
handwriting. There is an obit for Mrs. Dudly Shaw (Sarah Bigelow)
mentioning three brothers and two sisters: Mrs. Joseph Stayman, Albert,
David, and Franklin Bigelow, and Mrs. Barney Greenfield. There is
also an obit for Mrs. Josephine Shaw, b. near Berne, Switzerland in 1845,
who came to the US when she was 5 years old, which mentions sister Mrs
S. R.
Thorp. There are other obits., some of which are or may be Bigelows,
others of Thorps, and some unknowns, possibly freinds and neighbors. There
is also another story, also undated, about Jairus Bigelow, 68. It
gives his results in farming three acres, two of them in onions.
He raised 700 bushels of assorted onions, 173 bushels of rutabaga, 133
bushels potatoes, 30 bushels corn, 17 bushels beets, 11 bushels carrots,
3 bushels parsnips, 5 bushels of white turnips, and 1 and a half bushels
of onion seed, plus 1,000 head of cabbage. It also gives his expenses
for the two acres of onions, which with his labor included totals
$95.25. I also have a copy of the marriage record for Eddie Thorp
and Mary Stark which shows Eddie's father as S. R. Thorpe and mothers maiden
name as Helen Bigelow. If you want scans of any of this, let me know.
My descent is:
