I was very excited to find your web site..I had no idea there was a Bigelow Society!
I am a Bigelow too.  Directly descended from John and Jerusha Garfield Bigelow.  I have the entire lineage and would be happy share it with the society if you want it!
My father was Clifford Wood Bigelow
His parents were Clifford Wood Bigelow and Helen Hoel Bigelow
His grandparents were Oscar and Hattie Parker Bigelow
(by the way your page is missing Oscar's death date ..4-13-1915)
Oscar's parents were Josiah Sanford ⁷ and Mary Ann Wood Bigelow (you have her as Woods, which is incorrect)
Josiah Sanford ⁷ was the son of Josiah ⁶  and Lucinda ⁶ (BIGELOW--15194.8) (cousins)
Lucinda ⁶ was the daughter of Jotham ⁵, Jr. and Mary Powers Bigelow
Jotham ⁵, Jr. was the son of  Jotham ⁴, Sr. and Persis Temple Bigelow
Jotham ⁴, Sr. was the son of John ³ Bigelow and Jerusha Garfield Bigelow
He was born on 5-9-1675?? and..thats as far back as I can go!

My father Clifford Wood Bigelow married Joan Ball Bigelow and had 3 children:
Clifford Wood Bigelow, Jr.
Deborah Joan Bigelow
and me..Ellen Parker Bigelow
my brother and sister are both deceased with no children; I have one child
My father had two brothers, Charles and Josiah Parker Bigelow
Charles has no descendants. Josiah (deceased) had 2 children.
I obtained my information from the lineage research done by a great aunt when she wanted to join the D.A.R. Jotham Bigelow, Jr. was apparently a private for 28 days during the Revolutionary War. Jotham Sr. also served.  I have the certification of this information from the D.A.R. I would be happy to share all that I have with your organization and plan on
sending a check to join it.
Thanks! Ellen Parker Bigelow
PS: Mary Ann Wood Bigelow was supposedly a descendant of Pergrine White (who came over on the Mayflower) and Sarah Bassett.  I can't find much on them tho..

Here is what I have found on Marianna Bigelow, daughter of Josiah Sanford Bigelow.
Charles Dunford
44414 Sunset Maple Drive
Ashburn, VA 20147
     Buried in the Pine Grove Cemetery in Whitinsville, MA, is a Marianne Bigelow, second wife of Arthur J. Clark. His first wife Emmeline died in 1881. Marianna died on 7 June 1913 at age 66. This is the same Marianna Bigelow who married Harding R(ussell) Barber in Athol MA on 22 December 1868. The 1880 census for Athol lists Marianne (age 33) as a single daughter(divorced?), living wth Josiah S.,Mary Ann, Ellen and Francena (age 29). Also in the 1880 Athol census, Harding Barber is living with his wife Annie (Clapp) Barber and Annie's unmarried sister Ada Clapp. They have a daughter, Mabel (2 years old). There are two sons, Henry (18) and Fred (13). He must have had a third wife as both children were born before either of the above marriages. In the 1900 Athol census, Harding Barber is living with a fourth wife, Alice (Nims). They have two daughters, Grace and Helen. Also living with them is Mabel from his prior marriage to Annie.
