Searching for David Bigelow, bn 1799, New London, Columbia Co.,NY.,
md Minerva Levake in Iowa Co.,Wisconsin. He died in Iowa Co.,WI, in 1861
and also his wife. They had at least five children that are known. Wealthy,
Lydia, Clarissa, Sophia, and Minerva.
Any and all help is needed. Thanks
Note2:
3-19-98 e-mail from Carol to Don Bigelow of Grand Rapids that questions
David's birth and death date, source etc. (in Don's file"). Don: "He is
buried on the Warren Porter Farm - the Bigelow Cemetery (in a field), poorly
maintained as I understand it. I also understand that he has no tombstone
at all, the graves are marked by field stones.
I do have a short obit for him which said he was born 19 Dec 1801 and
died Oct 17, 1860 age 58 yrs., 9 mo. and 28 days. My math says the dates
are correct and true.
Thus, it is a mystery as where his Bigelow Book birthdate came in as
1799?? I would like to know the source of that, indeed.
Perhaps this mystery can be put to rest.
Carol
