Julius 7 BIGELOW


16314.44      Julius 7 BIGELOW, son of  Ira ( Ezra 5 , David 4, Lt. John 3, Joshua 2, John 1 and Rachel (ALLEN) BIGELOW, was born at Colchester, New London, CT about 1793 (age 82 at death). His father, Ira, had moved about 1807, to (then) Geneseo, NY with his brothers, Joseph and Enos and their families, accompanying him. Julius married about 1814 a Philena Dayton, daughter of Abraham and Alvina (McCall) Dayton. She was born 02 (or 12) February 1708 in CT. This family is listed on the census in NY through 1840, but by 1850 they were in Pleasant Prairies, Kenosha, WI where they were enumerated. At that time, only children Russell, Almeda and Amanda were living at home. By 1860, Julius and Philena were in IA. They settled in New Hampton, Chickasaw county, where Julius, a farmer, died 25 May 1875. Philena died 29 December 1880 at 82 years. Both are buried in Graceland cemetery, New Hampton.

I am looking for the children's names of Julius Bigelow b. 1793 in Colchester Ct. who married Philena Dayton.  Julius is the son of Ira Bigelow and Rachel
Allen of Colchester, New London, Ct.  Julius and Philena are said to have had 13 children.  They moved from the east to Kenosha, Wisconsin and then to
Chickasaw County, Iowa.  Any help would be appreciated.
I am doing work on this line for my son-in-law.  His line comes through Lovina Bigelow and Josiah L. Finch.  Josiah, I think, was the son of Pliny
Finch and lived in the same community in Kenosha/Racine Wisconsin.  Their marriage record can be found in the Racine Marriage Records on September 14, 1846.  A land transaction takes place in 1846 in August where J.L. Finch receives the deed for property from Julius Bigelow (I think a wedding
present).  They all moved to Chickasaw County after that.  Josiah and Lovina
had seven children:
1. Milton J. Finch, b. Feb. 1847 in Kenosha and then moved to McHenry Co.
Illinois for a short time.  He married Amelia R. McManus 25 June 1871 in
Blackhawk Co. Iowa and died in Sioux county Iowa.
2. John M. Finch b. 1850 in McHenry Co., Illinois
3. Pliny D. Finch, b. Feb 1852 in Mc Henry co. Illinois
4. Addie Finch b. abt 1858 in Iowa
5. Addie Finch b. abt 1860 in Iowa - married Oscar J. Dunham
6. Newton L. Finch b. March 1862 in Iowa
7 Nellie Finch b. abt. 1864 in Iowa.
