The Monthly Meeting of the Society of Friends at Burlington records that Thomas was "disowned" from the church for marrying out of discipline, i.e., out of the Quaker faith.

In 1817 they were again in good standing, and belonged to the Smithfield Society of Friends in Jefferson county. In 1829 they sold their property and purchased land in Morgan county, OH.

Family information in OH:
Mary Ann Bigelow said to have been Quaker, married a Mr. Teeples and had one child when she was 16 years old, who was also named Mary Ann after her mother. When Teeples died, Mary Ann Bigelow (Teeples) married Joshua Wood, a Quaker. She gave birth to a daughter when she was 54 who was called 'Teeny' because she was so small. Mary Ann Bigelow Teeples Wood died in her 84th year.
What I have documented:
The second Mary Ann (Teeples) married Lewis Rodgers, my great-grandfather and named her first child, Rebecca Bigelow Rodgers. I also have a certified copy of the marriage record for Mary Teeples and Joshua Wood. The 1860 Census shows Joshua and Mary Wood (age 59) with a daughter (age 5), Eva. Could this be "Teeny"?
1850 Census shows that Lewis & Mary Rodgers lived next to Isaac Kirby, son of Rebecca Bigelow Kirby.
She had a brother named Isaac Kirby Rodgers. Neighbors Samuel and Orpah Wood could be related to Joshua since she also had a brother named Joshua Wood Rodgers and a sister named Eva Wood Rodgers.
What I wonder:
Could your Mary Kirby dau of Thomas and Rebecca Bigelow also be the mother of Mary Ann Teeples?.. could be..................ROD
