Here are a couple of pages that I have here – I am working on the branch that goes from Joseph and Cynthia Bigelow, to their daughter Sarah, who married John Parmerton. Their daughter was Mary Emma Parmerton, who married James Olmstead, Jr (have his branch traced back to 1086 in England)…
Anyway, I am getting together the history as well as old family recipes – “We are what they ate”.
If you are interested, I have some old letters, one of which was written by a Kellog (think it was around Albany) when the news was received about the end of the war of 1812. Think I have this on my computer at home, and will send this weekend if you want to see it…
