Lucy Bigelow was born in Whitingham, Windham County, Vermont on
April 28, 1817. She was the daughter of Thomas Bigelow (1781-1871)
and Jerusha Putnam Bigelow (1779-1865). Thomas and Jerusha lived
at Douglas, MA before moving to Whitingham, VT. They had eight
children. About 1822 the family moved to Verona, NY, and then to
Portland, Chautauqua County, NY. Lucy and James lived for
a while in Chester County, Pennsylvania, then in Chautauqua
County, New York (1850 Census) and then moved to Minnesota about
1851-1854 (in residence there for 1860 Census). Dr. James Thompson
died at Rollingstone, Winona County, Minnesota on August 4, 1861
(burial unknown). In the 1870 Census, Lucy is shown in the
household of her son-in-law, Nicholas Stoos in Minnesota. In both
the 1880 and 1900 Census, Lucy is shown in the household of her
son-in-law, Anson G. Leet in Washington County, Iowa.

in Luxemberg on October 13, 1842. They had eight or possibly nine
children. She died June 12, 1928 in Owatonna, Steele County,
Minnesota and is buried in Richland Cemetery, Rice County,
Minnesota.

Not sure if ya'll are interested in this but I found it on ebay...
If you know a dec. please pass it along to them :)
This is the note I got from the seller after I contacted her to
see
if she knew any family background on it (I thought perhaps it was
the
Lucy Biglow that was to be married to Brigham Young....but after
searching
your site - nice job Rod and all - I found it to be the Lucy
Biglow that was married to James Thompson and the daughter of
Thomas
and Jerusha Putnam Biglow listed on
http://bigelow.simplenet.com/rod/luc74946.htm)
You can contact the seller if you have questions about the piece.
I
hope that someone will be excited about this !!
Warm Regards,

I called the people from whom I purchased the sampler, him and his
wife are actually friends of mine. It was her mother's
estate they
were selling. Apparently this sampler came from her Dad's
side of
the family and they know very little about them. I purchased
this
in a town called Medford MN. Its about 6 miles north of
where I live,
Owatonna Mn. Its in the S.E. corner of Minnesota. I
guess it
is possible to be "the" Lucy Biglow, but I think it is a long
shot.
I really have no way of checking it out. I appreciate you
taking
the time to email me though. Sincerely, Sandy MacIntosh
This sampler came out of an estate. It shows its age. It
measures
about 10" x 12". The bottom part has moth damage. There also
are some other
small holes that look like moth damage. The sampler is made up
of the ABC's
and 1,2,3's. It was made by Lucy Biglow, age 12. If you have
any questions
before you bid, please email me. I will tell you as honestly
as I know
how about this piece. I am not an expert at these.
