Noah's Son Zadock Bigelow
Over the years Forge, has devoted
several articles to Revolutionary War soldier Noah
5( Cornelius 4, Samuel 3, Samuel
2, John1) Bigelow and
his sons. Noah has been a major genealogical problem because of his three
marriages, his many children, and lack of early records in certain towns
in MA, VT, and NY. From census records and from Noah's application for a
veteran's pension, we surmise that he had a large family by his third wife,
but until recently (1984) had learned the names of only five.
A few months ago, Mrs. Zora Waschbusch of Estes
Park, CO wrote the Society asking for identification of Bigelows whose names
and birthdates were jotted on little slips of paper and backs of envelopes
in the Bible of Mrs. Waschbusch's grandfather Alonzo Bigelow (see below). The list was a goldmine. Arranged
in chronological order, we had Noah 5 Bigelow and the children of his third
wife, Elizabeth ......
The data was not without error. One son, William
F. Bigelow of MI, was omitted. Another son was given William's birthdate.
One name, that of Polly McConsidine, eludes identification. But for the
most part, Alonzo was correct in his listing his grandfather Noah and other
kin. Here are most of the names gleaned from his bits of paper:
Noah Bigelow; born 9 Sept 1742; died 29 Mar 1835 (should be 1833)
Phebe Bigelow; born 18 Oct 1797 died 9 Apr 1820
Elijah Bigelow; born 2 May 1799 [died 1878 Gratiot county; MI]
Caty Bigelow born 12 Mar 1801 died 29 June 1835
Clenmaria Bigelow; born 5 Aug 1803
Zadock Bigelow; born 15 July 1807 [died 1870's LeBoeuf, Erie county,
PA]
Polly (McConsidine) Bigelow born 14 [19?] Oct 1812 [unidentified person]
Cornelius Bigelow; born 29 Mar 1813 [an error, other documents prove
that Cornelius was born 19 Fcb 1810 and died 1875 Buffalo county, WI]
[William F. born 28 Mar 1812; died 1891 Gratiot county, MI]
Hannah Bigelow born 29 Aug 1817
Mary Ann (Bigelow) Hoyt born 8 Aug 1828 [her father's pension application
of May 1820 stated Mary Ann was then 17 months old] dicd 21 June 1895
Zadock 6 Bigelow, the second son named above, was born in Cambridge,
Washington county, NY as listed above. In 1820 when his father applied for
a pension from Schoharie county, NY the clerk noted that Zadock, age 13, "was
able to support himself." On
14 Feb 1830 Zadock married Polly Ackerly, born 11 October 1810. They lived
a number of years in Andes township, Delaware county, NY, where their children
were born.
In the 1850's they migrated westward to LeBoeuf, Erie county, PA, where
they were ennumerated in 1880 and 1870. In old age they either lived or visited
in Conneaut, Ashtabula, OH, where they had their pictures taken--see above.

Comments: I was excited to find my g-g-g-grandmother Polly M Bigelow and
her husband Zadock on your website. Contrary to the entry, I think they died
in Ohio in 1892. You can find them online in the City Cemetery at Conneaut,
OH. Zadoc is spelled w/o the 'k'.

I found your posting
on the internet. Thanks for the interesting information! I have
a question. You wrote, " Hannah (Washburn)
Ackerly She was born 11 October 1810, according to
Bible inscriptions." Do you perhaps have a
copy of the Bible inscriptions? Are there any of the Washburn
family in it? I am a descendant of Thomas Washburn; I believe
that he was a brother of Hannah's. I also believe that they were
children of Jonathan Washburn and Hannah Drake, but I am hard pressed
to be able to prove it. If you are aware of any family Bible records
anywhere I surely would appreciate knowing about them! Jonathan Washburn
was a Mayflower descendant. Thanks
