I have finally found my ancestor in your GenPage. I saw your posting
on Jan. 5 in the GenForum and followed it. Cornelius is my ggg-grandfather.
A family history said that he was one of seven brothers that came over
with Lafayette to fight for the US. After reading your info, I guess
that is wrong. I have Mary Lucinda (15336.5Bt) b. Mar 17, 1802 VT.
Married James Blair 1830. Children:
Elizabeth
Persis
John D.
James D.
Matilda
George D.
Adam Hiram
William
Mary Lucinda
I got her birthdate from Roy Blair, he is gone and I don't know where
his work is.
My mother and aunt have tried to find out if one of his sons still
have the info.
My mother was elated with just seeing the page on Cornelius.
Wait until I get the rest of the history for her.
Thank you for breaking one of the walls on my moms side. Even
though Blair is a common name. It is that that makes it hard to find the
right line. The others are Hess, Zimmerman, Mautasch and Hunkey.
Thanks again, Jack Kraft

From: Rich Eastman & Pam Parker < portunus@midcoast.com
Hi, Rod! Saw your Bigelow family page today and was quite excited. My
wife descends through John-Joshua-Daniel-David-Tyler-George Tyler-Clara
Dabney-Caroline Parker-Augustin Parker Jr. Her mother has an original oil
painting of Hon. Tyler at about age 70 hanging in her living room. Many
things were passed down in the family, some we haven't identified yet.
We're trying to trace the source of a block-front desk made by Benjamin
Frothingham about 1780 that was handed down in the family. Have you done
any research into the wills of Tyler Bigelow or his son George? We thought
a will might indicate where this desk came from and suspect it to be
a Bigelow piece. Pam's mother also has a portrait of Charles Miller Esq.,
Anna Smith Miller's grandfather. He was a merchant in Boston. Please let
me know if you have anything further on this family. Thanks so much,
Rich Eastman & Pam Parker
correspondence with descendant:
My name is Dana Barton
Berry and I am married to Thomas Bigelow Berry. Bigelow is my mother-in-law's
family. I have been researching the Bigelow family on the Internet and
have been most gratified to find tons of information via the Bigelow Society
page and other family trees published there. I have traced the line from
John Biglo (Bigelow) and his ancestors down to our children: John
Bigelow. (1), Joshua Bigelow. (2), Daniel Bigelow. (3), David Bigelow.
(4), Tyler Bigelow.(5), George Tyler Bigelow. (6), George Tyler Bigelow.
Jr. (7), George Tyler Bigelow. III (8) Eunice Miller (Bigelow) Berry (9),
Thomas Bigelow Berry (10), Thomas Barton Berry (11).
George Tyler Bigelow was Chief Justice of the State of Massachusetts
1860-1868 and was highly regarded by his peers and the bar. He married
Anna Smith Miller on Nov. 5, 1839. We don't know where, but suspect
it was Boston, MA. While there is a lot of information we have collected
about him, there is nothing to be found about her, not even her parents.
Aside from the
remote possibility that we could locate the family Bible, I am at a
standstill. Do you have any suggestions on where I should look next?
The information we have on Justice Bigelow's career was recently obtained
from the Supreme Judicial Court Historical Society of the State of Massachusetts.
The curator was most kind to include a photocopy of Justice Bigelow from
the Joseph A. Willard Photograph Collection. The career synopsis
is somewhat lengthy but I would be happy to share it with you if
you are interested.
Thanks for all of the family information you and the Bigelow Society
have published on the Internet. You have helped our research tremendously!

Hi Rod,
I'm Richard Baguley, of Norfolk, England.
I found the Bigelow page a year or two back and it was very interesting.
We had already had much research done by a long lost cousin in Caro, Michigan
but this was excellent. Somewhere down the line, our families were
clearly connected! We have even found Baguley Hall in Manchester,
England.
Please put this in your bin if it is not closely enough connected with
your business but I am trying to contact the children of the guy who we
met in the 60s - Irl Baguley. He was married to Clara and had 3 sons,
Norman, Keith, Leonard and John. I think Keith (as he seems to be
known) has an address in Grand Rapids. Irl and Clara passed way some
time ago.
This is the extent of results from my surfing geneaology.
Any ideas how I might take this further? I'll probably try snail
mail at one or two addresses.
Good luck with your task with the Bigelow pages.
Kind regards, Richard Baguley

From: Cynthia Smart Writecindi2@cs.com
I have just begun researching my Bigelow roots. My paternal grandmother
was Edith Ardella Bigelow , born 24 Aug 1908 to James Ellsworth BIGELOW
and his wife Nora Elizabeth DOWNING at Andrews, Huntington Co., IN. Edith
married my
grandfather, Arden L. BEMENT, Sr. She was one of ten children. James
E. Bigelow, according to information I just received via an e-mail from
a lady who turns out to be my second cousin, was born 11 Dec 1864 at Andrews,
Huntington Co., In, and died there on 6 Apr 1931. He is reported to have
been a sheriff and the son of William Bigelow born in ?,Ohio, died 10 May
1873 in Huntington Co., In. He was married to Susan Jane TURNER. William
was the son of Samuel W. Bigelow born in NJ 16 Dec 1807, died 28 Jul 1874
in Huntington Co., IN. He was married to Mary PARKER. He is reported to
be the missing son of William and Catherine Brigham Bigelow who was sent
off to the navy. It is said that he never wanted contact with his family
again because he felt they didn't want him. To keep from being discovered
he added the name Samuel to the front of his name. I found a posting on
the GenForum Bigelow page referring to a William BIGELOW from NJ , and
I saw that you had posted a followup with a reference to your website but
no particular information. When I checked your site, I saw that
William was simply listed as having never been heard from since.
My question to you is: Are you aware of any information or proof one
way or the other as to the connection between these two men. Is it simply
an unproven assumption? I would appreciate any help you might be able to
give me. Thank you very much,
Cynthia Smart

of time over the past few weeks on the Bigelow Web site & it is just
wonderful. I especially like the history about
the family members. I think I have traced my family connections
back correctly,perhaps you can confirm them for me. I start with John (1)
like all else,then Samuel 2, Samuel 3,Cornelius 4, Paul 5, Cornelius 6,
Hiram 7,Charles 8, Melissa 9, Caroline 10, Russell 11(my
father) Enid12 (me), Charlene & Douglas 13 my children)and I now have
6 grandchildren gen. #14. I hope this is correct. I will send this information
to you complete with births,marriage & death dates in the future if
this is what you would like to continue the family lines. Many Thanks for
this website I know the work it must entail. Your cousin somewhat

My name is John Fintel and I've been doing a lot of research into my
geneology and I came across your website while researching a line in my
family tree. Looking at the chart you had on your website that was from
volume 1 of the bigelow family geneology, I noticed you had a John Hyde
married to an Isabella and this isabella had a father named william. This
caught my eye and i went and checked on my family tree and sure enough
i found an Isabell De Baggilegh with a husband named John Hyde and a father
named William and from the dates you had on your site, this seemed like
too much of a coincidence. as it turns out, Isabel De Baggilegh (with my
father being the 1st generation) is only 22 generations back and is from
baggilegh, england. She was born in 1249 and died sometime after 1358.
If you could give me anymore information on this person this would be greatley
appreciated, if it's the same person then we might even be cousins 22 generations
apart, who knows.
