Great Bigelow Family Story. I was led to it by Don Wrighter in his search for Wrighters Lake,Wayne/Susq. Co., Pa.
Hozea Tiffany and family and John Tiffany and family of Attleboro, Mass.; on their way to Nine Partners (Harford, Pa), in 1792, stopped in Pleasant Mt. Pa, over a Sunday, to visit the Sam Stantons . John was so pleased with the area, he immediately bought land  and  built a cabin, a barn and the first frame house in Pleasant Mt.  All Tiffanys are carpenters. Hozea went on to Harford  and settled on land he had bought and built on in 1790 and became my GGGGgrandfather.
James 5 Bigelow ( he was a blacksmith) , his wife and family, settled  at Pleasant Mt.in 1808. at what is now Bigelow  Lake.   James 5 Bigelow had a daughter Sallie (Sarah 6 ), John Tiffany had a son John, and the two married in 1808. A rather unreliable source, claiming descent from John and Sallie, says Sallie was 24 and John 25 when they married. I  don't know. John and Sallie had six children and I am sure they are all noted in your Genealogy. I found John and Sallie but will save the rest for another day.
Many Tiffanys descending  from and including Sgt John sr, (Rev. war) are buried in the Pleasant Mt. cemetery, but at this time I do not think there are any residents. The Bigelows, on the other hand , still reside and farm in the black muck soil, the result of enlarging Bigelow Lake, and I wouldn't be surprised to find  at least one blacksmith living on the farm.
Pleasant Mt. is some 15-20 miles from my residence in Carbondale, PA. I look forward to spending time with your wonderful Bigelow Web Pages.

I have cemetery record from Honesdale, also went to cemetery. Tiffany, Sally - wife of John Tiffany, d. Sept. 2, 1848 ae 63 yrs & 5 mos.
My ggg-grandmother is Sally Tiffany daughter of these two.  She had son in 1842 - Thomas Oliver born in Starrucca.  Hope to find proof soon. She married A. Wright and moved to Bramwell, WV.  She had daughter (stepdaughter?) Alice.  Alice married Israel Rouse Myers.  I have letter from her to brother Thomas Oliver Tiffany written sometime in the1870's. I have letter written by Thomas to his Uncle Shel - John Sheldon Tiffany.  Thomas was at Morris Island, SC during the war when he wrote
this letter.  Thomas had daughter Alzada Mae. (wife was Alzada Emeline Harding), son Winfield (2nd wife ran off), Jennie, Charles and Raymond (wife Ellen Webb).
Winfield went to live with John Sheldon Tiffany until Thomas remarried. Alzada lived with the Fosters in Burnwood (haven't found out why yet or how they are related).  John Sheldon had son John Winfield.  Winfield had son according to my Uncle named Elberton and daughter Ferne. Winfield was said to have visited Alzada in Carbondale after she married
and had children.
I do not have a lot of primary evidence as of yet.  Have photos of Alzada after she married.  Pictures of house and family in Burnwood taken when Alzada was grown. Letters that I mentioned.  Went to cemetery.  Lots of census information. 1850 census shows Thomas living with John and Minerva Tiffany.  Sally was living with Nathan and Damelia Kennedy. So was infant Alice E. Wright. (Kennedy name was same as Addison Harding's second wife[father of Alzada] ) I have no idea who A.
Wright was.
By the way I have Jane Graham's maiden name as Thompson (from Beers). Denise
