Silas Henry ⁷ BIGELOW

15364.84 Silas Henry ⁷ BIGELOW, son of John ⁶ ( Jason ⁵, Jason ⁴, Samuel ³, Samuel ², John ¹) and Betsy (MAYNARD) BIGELOW, was born at North Brookfield, Worcester, MA on 06 November 1821. He lived on the old family homestead at North Brookfield - the main part of the house was built in May 1794 and a portion of it was much older. He farmed there and married on 29 April 1845 Clarissa A. Cole of Montague, MA. She was the daughter of Reuben and Abigail ( __ ) Cole. Clarissa was born at Shutesbury, MA at unknown date and died 15 June 1897 at N. Brookfield. Silas was living in 1899 - we don't have his death date or place.

Children of Silas and Clarissa (Cole) Bigelow, all born N. Brookfield, MA:

15364.841t Mary Adeline, b 23 Jan 1847; d ; m 27 Jan 1874 George A. Jenks; res. N. Brookfield; 2 children.

15364.847     Fannie Idelle, b 18 May 1861; d 11 Sept 1863.

15364.848     Fannie Idelle, b 18 March 1863; d 0l Oct 1883; unm.

It seems strange that two daughters had the same name when one was living when the other one was born. There is evidently an error in the records here.
