Hello, my name is Christine
Fallon. I am a direct descendant from Hepsibeh Bigelow and
John Wenzel of Framingham, MA. However, the information that I have
about her and what you have about her are not quite the same. I have
her
birth date as being September 24, 1767. You have her birthday
September 24, 1757. Also the marriage dates are not the same.
You have the year as being 1792, while I have the year as being 1790.
The month and day are the same.
My sources are from the Descendants of Henry
Wenzel. The original manuscript is kept at The New England Genealogical
Society. Copies of this manuscript has been passed down from generations.
Also Family Tree Maker CD#231, Marriage Index:Massachusetts, 1633-1850.
If indeed the dates I have are wrong, I would like to see your records
so that I can update my records. I can also give you information of descendants
of their children, that you do not have.
