I have just begun researching my Bigelow roots. My paternal grandmother was Edith Ardella Bigelow , born 24 Aug 1908 to James Ellsworth BIGELOW and his wife Nora Elizabeth DOWNING at Andrews, Huntington Co., IN. Edith married my
grandfather, Arden L. BEMENT, Sr. She was one of ten children. James E. Bigelow, according to information I just received via an e-mail from a lady who turns out to be my second cousin, was born 11 Dec 1864 at Andrews, Huntington Co., In, and died there on 6 Apr 1931. He is reported to have been a sheriff and the son of William Bigelow born in ?,Ohio, died 10 May 1873 in Huntington Co., In. He was married to Susan Jane TURNER. William was the son of Samuel W. Bigelow born in NJ 16 Dec 1807, died 28 Jul 1874 in Huntington Co., IN. He was married to Mary PARKER. He is reported to be the missing son of William and Catherine Brigham Bigelow who was sent off to the navy. It is said that he never wanted contact with his family again because he felt they didn't want him. To keep from being discovered he added the name Samuel to the front of his name. I found a posting on the GenForum Bigelow page referring to a William BIGELOW from NJ , and I saw that you had posted a followup with a reference to your website but no particular information. When I checked your site, I saw that William was simply listed as having never been heard from since.
My question to you is: Are you aware of any information or proof one way or the other as to the connection between these two men. Is it simply an unproven assumption? I would appreciate any help you might be able to give me. Thank you very much, see link above

After doing extensive research on the Bigelow Family, I have
found one of the missing links in your Bigelow Society Book
that ties in my family to the book itself. This link is Samuel
William/ William Bigelow b:16 Dec 1807 and as noted: when a
young man under age, he was put into the US. Navy by one of
his older brothers, and never heard from since. This man is my
Great-Great-Great Grandfather. He moved to Ohio then to
Indiana where he is buried in Lancaster Cemetery, Huntington
co., Indiana. If you would like more details, please feel free to
contact me. Thank You see link
