I would like to share with you some information that I've collected and
verified.
Attached is a listing of the descendants of William Henry Bigelow.
You will
see that he was married first to Mary Elizabeth Carpenter and then to
Caroline "Carrie" Peck. I have based all my searches on the information
found in a Bigelow Family Bible, and with just a few exceptions, the
information has matched burial records, death certificates, gravestones
etc.
Jennie Bigelow and Ival Percy Bigelow, from the first marriage, and Hugh
Bigelow, from the second marriage have eluded me. I have been unable
to find
their names anywhere except for the family bible. Feel free to use
this
information in any way you'd like, because as they say "you can take it
to
the bank."
Enjoy and Regards,

Abram is listed on the 1860 census for NY as follows: Abram - CLI - 897 - Plattsburgh. There is also a grave stone in Saranac, Clinton co, NY that has Abram Bigelow (1836-1896) and wife Elsie (1837-1905), and son Willie A. son of Abram and Elsie; died June 30, 1873; aged 5 yrs. 11 mos + 13 days. There is also an A. Bigelow notated on a map of Dannemora, NY dated 1869. He occupied a lot on the north side of Bouck Street, in the middle of the block, with E.J. White on his left and W.M. Graves on his right. I don't know if this is Abram or not. In my research I have found no Abram in this area mentioned in the Bigelow Genealogy. I don't know if he belongs in this family or not. Just a guess!

I copied the above information from a search I did on your web site. I've
been told that Almon Bigelow's Children included, among others, my wife's
great grandfather William Henry Bigelow, and a Mary Bigelow,
and I don't know where to find verification of this. Can you help?
By the way, what do the superscript numbers mean? Does that mean that
Almon is the 7th generation after John who is #1? And is it a direct
relationship? If I were to look in some of the Sources that you've listed,
am I apt to find any more than you've listed here? I'm desperate!!
More1:
I finally "broke down" and purchased "The Bigelow Family Genealogy," volumes
I & II. They contain a lot of information
(almost an overload). Since the last time I wrote to you, I have obtained
a death certificate (from Albany) for my wife's
great grandfather's sister, Mary (Bigelow) Carpenter. On the certificate
her father is listed as Almond, and her Mother's
maiden name as Proctor. Thanks again for your interest and help.
Please stay in touch.
Regards,
Neil McKenna

My name is Neil McKenna, and I'm originally from Potsdam, NY. I now
live in Ontario, NY and I'm retired from the Xerox Corporation. On 6/18/01
I posted a message on your site regarding Almon Bigelow. He appears
in the Bigelow
Name Index as: Bigelow, Almon 7, # 15146.12,(1798-aft 1850); m Mary Levanway.
I have reason to believe that he may be my Wife's Great, Great Grandfather.
My Wife, Patricia Bigelow, is originally from Lake Placid and her ancestors
resided in various Northern New York Counties in the area for years.
The
information that's shown for Almon's Family is rather sketchy, but there's
still a possibility that there is a connection. I obtained a death certificate
for Pat's Great Grandfather, William Henry Bigelow, and his Father's name
looks like Almond or Almon. Unfortunately, his Mother's name isn't listed.
If I were to look in some of the sources that you've listed, am I apt to
find any more information than you've listed. I would really appreciate
any help you could give me with this since it appears like I'm at a brick
wall. Thanks.
Regards,
Neil McKenna

I'm trying to verify a possible connection between my wife's great grandfather
and Almond Bigelow. I typed the following (verbatim) from the History
of Essex County - 1885*. It is an alphabetized listing of Brief Personals
of people living in the various towns in Essex County. Almond Bigelow
in mentioned towards the end of this entry for Zimri Carpenter which was found
in the listing of the Town of Jay (found on page 717):
Carpenter, Zimri, is doubtless the oldest living citizen in the town of Jay; was born in Keene, NH, May 3, 1795, and came to Jay in 1811, and lived with William Kees, a Quaker, near Keeseville. He was then a poor boy without money or friends, but by careful industry he finally gained a start in the world, and purchased a property in Jay which he improved and enhanced in value, and still owns and occupies in retirement. He was a soldier of the War of 1812; married to Betsey Mace of Ausable, NY in 1819. They had ten children; Bernard a son, was born in February, 1825; he occupies and manages he homestead; his wife is Mary, daughter of Almond Bigelow of Keeseville. They have five children living. Zimri Carpenter is son of Nathan Carpenter, a cooper at Keene, NH, and formerly a soldier of the Revolution.
* Edited By H.P. Smith, D. Mason & Company, Publishers 1885, Syracuse, NY
William Henry Bigelow's death certificate shows his father's name as "Almond Bigalow", and his place of birth as "Chesterfield, NY." From another source, I discovered that Zimri Carpenter's son, Bernard married Mary Bigelow, and that Zimri Carpenter's Daughter Elizabeth "Lizzie" married Henry Bigelow. I think he might have been known as "Henry" because he's also listed with that name on some federal census records. William Henry's occupation is listed on his death certificate as "engineer" which is consistent with the fact that he was an engineer on a tugboat named "Maggie" on the Chateaugay Lakes.
I'm just trying to verify the above information with evidence of Almond Bigalow's Family listing somewhere. Prior to 1850, of course, only heads of families are listed, and I believe by 1850 both Mary and William Henry had left home. William Henry Bigelow married Mary Elizabeth Carpenter on Dec. 17, 1846. I think that William Henry and his wife Mary lived with Bernard Carpenter and then later on they lived with Zimri Carpenter. This does get a little confusing. Do you have any suggestions as far as where I might look for Almond Bigalow's Family listing prior to 1850?
Here is the 1850 census for the Town of Chesterfield:

I was just going through the Cemetery book for the Peru Cemeteries.
In the Peasleeville Cem (abt 3 mi from where I live)
is the Rev. J. B. Wescott /1811-1879, and his wife Welthia Bigelow
1818-1907. Also there is Cinderilla Emery, wf of Anson
Wescott, d 8 Nov 1873@63. Cinderilla is part of my line.
Is J. B. Anson's brother? Where does Welthia fit in?
In God's Acre Cem. is Julia Bigelow, 1844-1899, wife of Joseph
B. Covell. Nettie J. Covell 1882-1882, and Gertude A, 1878-1892,
their daughters. (see artis7a.htm)
Nancy
More2:
- Joseph B. Wescott, Jr, b 1811, d 1879, Peasleeville, NY m Wealthia Bigelow.
Still no clue to her
parentage. she was b 1818, d 1907. they had a daughter, Abbie
Wescott, b 1859, d 26 Aug 1895.
Joseph is the son of Joseph W. Wescott, Sr and Olive Knight.
Sr was born in Middleboro, Ma, d 10 June 1857,
Peasleeville. His wife Olive I have B 1782, d 8 July,
1858. They are all buried in the Patent Cem., Peru..
Anson, b 1800, is the brother of Joseph, Jr. He is the one that
married Cinderilla Emery. Cinderilla , b 1810, d 8 Nov
1873, is the daughter of Nathaniel & Lydia Emery. Nathaniel is
the son of Richardson Emery and Jane Swan. Nathaniel
is brother to my 3x g grandfather, Russell Emery who m Polly (Emery)
Emery.
Sarah who married Uriah Ayer is the sister of both Nathaniel and
Russell. The Ayer line is the one with Tamsen Bigelow see: jared7.htm
In your notes you mention a Knight family genealogy. Is Olive
in there? There may be a clue there.
I also wanted to see if the Knight book mentioned a Knight/Eaton marriage.
That would be part of my g grandmother's line
(Sherwin). I think it connects with the Cole part of her line, but
my memory may not be serving me correctly.
I have the Watertown book, the Morse, Holden, Harris, Cole, Benedict,
Canfield, Loomis, Manning, Sackett, Ladd,
Spalding, Proctor, Knapp, Rapideau, Blood, Platt, Emery, some Ayer and Johnson,
some Lawrence, the vr's of Shirley,
Chelmsford, Townsend, Billerica, Roxbury, Charlestown, to name a few
if you want anything from any of them. Also have
lots of Quebec records.
