Dear Rod,
Merle Alexender Bowlin, son of Merle & Rosalie Bigelow Bowlin died
Aug 15, 1994.
His widow, Macy Lotz Bowlin died 12/29/2002 and she had many papers of
his relating to the Bigelow Plantation, etc. I gave those to the Jax Historical
Society as I did not know there was a Bigelow Society. I found out about
it quite by accident.Anyway, I have the Bigelow & Richards coat of arms.
They are quite fragile but would be glad to mail them to you, if you would
like them..They are 10 x 14. Merle and his first wife, Betty had one daughter
named Elizabeth but, when they divorced and she remarried, he allowed her
new husband to adopt Elizabeth. She still lives in the Jax area and I know
someone who knows her but do not know if she is interested in that side
of the family.
I look forward to hearing from you.
