Rod,

After leaving NY, William resided in Medina, Dane County WI apparently for the remainder of his life.  He shows up in 1870 living in 
his mother's household with his siblings. In 1880 he is living with his brothers Thaddeus and Gouverneur.  In 1900 he is living with his brother 
Thaddeus and his family and in 1910 he is head of household and neice and nephews are living with him.  He never married and died some time after 
the 1910 census.

Rod,

I have found William L Gott in census records 1850 onward married to Edna Jane.  Edna is of same age as noted in the Bigelow Society records.  
However, the link above shows a Edna Jane with same birth year and age married to a Dr. William B Gott.
The Edna Jane & William L can be found in Worcester Otsego County NY census records through 1880.  The census records clearly indicate a Jane 
Edna belongs to a William L.
Although I have added the children of the parents I have found in the census records I do not feel certain enough with the information to share 
since I cannot be conclusive.

Daughter of Gen. Edmund Bowman Bigelow, Sr. and Huldah (Howe) Bigelow
" Mrs. Wm. Gott, of this place, late of East Worcester was strick[e]n with appoplexy last Friday evening while sitting in her chair, apparently as well as usual. She lived until Sunday night about 12 o'clock, never speaking an articulate word or apparently recognizing anyone. Mrs. Gott was the eldest dau[g]hter of Gen. Bowman Bigelow formerly of East Worcester, and lived most of her life in this town. The funeral services were held Tuesday afternoon from her late residence, Rev. T. P. Morgan officiating. The remains were interred at East Worcester." [The Worcester Times (Worcester, NY), February 5, 1891, pg. 3, col. 3]

Edmund B. Bigelow died on 07 Oct 1865, aged 63 years. Interment in the William W. Bigelow plot, section 62, lot 91. This record made from the lot. [Albany Rural Cemetery Burial Card B-443]
