More:
I went back to my Bigelow file and came to the following
conclusion
that Samuel Bigelow died 14 Oct. 1820 for the following reasons:
1. My wife and I repaired and
cleaned
the four stones in the Samuel Bigelow plot at Streetroad Cemetery
at Ticonderoga,
in Aug. 1997. So I have first hand knowledge of the stones.
I believe
the three adult stones were all erected about the same time and
all close
to the death of Mary. The three stones are all the same
style, shape
(round tops with a half round border, with close to the same
measurements
of W22 1/2" H42 1/2" W3" .
2. I have been able to date the
style
of the stones as of yet. But believe Samuel's was erected
near the
death of his wife, which would easily account for his year of
death to
be off by a year and his age to be recorded on the stone in error.
3. In the 1820 U. S.
Population
Census for New York, Essex Co., Ticonderoga, Samuel Bigelow
is listed
as head of family, aged over 45, with one male child betw. 10-16,
one male
child betw.16-18 , two males betw. 16-26 , two females betw. 10-16
, one
female betw. 16-26, and one female 45 and over.
Note: in 1830 census white female 50-60 is living with son
Stephen.
