Hello Rod,
Found "12354.3 Rebecca, b 7 Aug 1797; d _____ Rahway, NJ;

David BALL. children." at your website. Thanks for this
added bit of
info. Wish there were children listed, but they'll pop up one
day.
Oh, the page also has, "was born 21 Nov 1763 in Hanover, Hunterdon co,
NJ." By this time, Hanover was in Morris County.
Great site, thanks again for sharing.

Hi Rod, Thank you so much sending me the site for Edmund Baileys
parents. I
am so glad the family kept using Bigelow as a middle name or I never
would
have been able to make a connection . My husband is descended
from
Mary's
daughter Catherine who married Henry More in Bethlehem. I have
been
looking
for 15 years for his parents and can't get anywhere with it.
I only
know who
he is NOT descended from. I have some pictures of the Bailey family
plot in
Racine where Catherine and Edmund are buried . Catherine's children
kept good
family records and I have newspaper clippings on deaths plus a date
book that
was kept by Catherines daughter. I don't know how much information
you would
want on Catherines children and their spouses but I would be happy
to
send
you all I have. Thanks again for all of your help. You
made my day.
Brenda
Just found your Bigelow site!! Have marked it to start looking for my
Bigelow
ancestors not yet found. My earliest so far is Fayette A. Bigelow b.1824
in VT and
d.1904 in Linden NY. Will contribute what information I have
as soon as I can get
it together.
Thanks for your efforts!

Hello Rod,
I am attaching two MS Word "RTF" reports and a GEDCOM file. In case
you
cannot view these I am also pasting the report text below.
Mary KNOWLTON's older brother, Elias, may be an ancestor of my wife.
My
wife's mother is a KNOWLTON. Right now I am trying to prove that Elias
had a
son Daniel who married Malinda (or Lendy) BLAKE. Some sources claim
that
this Daniel's father was Daniel and some claim Elias.
Let me know if you have questions about this.

Worcester, Massachusetts.
Daniel was employed as Carpenter.
Holden, MA vital records list parents as Daniel and
Elizabeth.
Gen. Reg
of
Framingham lists Elias and Elizabeth.
And then you have the entry in the Holden vital
records of Daniel
son of
Daniel and
Elizabeth b. 17 Jan. 1780 in Framingham... I think that it is a typo
or
someone read it
wrong... but my best guess would be that this was Elias and
Elizabeth...
And then in the History of Framingham it gives children:
Jesse and
Luther also... and
they are in the vitals as far as marriages, etc.
It might be a good idea to see if there is any probate
for Elias
Knowlton... but I do
feel very good that Daniel born 17 Jan. 1780 is indeed the son of
Elias and
Elizabeth.
[Marilyn Labbe]
The death record in Holden also lists his parents as Daniel and
Elizabeth
Knowlton. I
am beginning to believe that I have him in the wrong family! Except:
In the
Genealogical
Register of Framingham Families by Temple it says Elias Knowlton, son
of
Daniel (1),
lived in Framingham, and in Holliston, where he died abt 1787.
He
married
Elizabeth
Jennings of Holliston. Children: Rebeckah b. 3 Aug. 1765; Elisha
b. 5
June
1767, Elias
b. 14 May 1769, DANIEL married ______ Blake of Holden; Luther
,
Elizabeth,
Gilbert
and Jesse.
Daniel married Lendy Blake on 8 Sep 1803 in Holden, Worcester,
Massachusetts. Lendy was born in Dec 1789. She died on 30 Apr 1867
in
Holden, Worcester, Massachusetts. She was buried in 2nd Old Cemetery,
Holden, Worcester, Massachusetts.
Recorded as Lendy, Malinda, Linda, Lenda.
22 M viii. Jesse Knowlton .
Possibly married Polly Blake on 7 May 1794 and had a daughter "Betcy"
born
24 Oct
1794, as listed in the book Holden Births (image of page 59 from Carol
Miner). Same
Jesse and Polly had Harriet Newell on 9 Sep 1814 in Holden. Also
Leonard, b
30 May
1796, Polly, b 19 Dec 1797, Sukey (daughter), b 5 Oct 1799.
To function as an information resource on the subject of horse-drawn transportation
I am compiling an extensive book on the subject of coach lace. I have
gather guit a bit of information from the book "A
Century of Carpet and Rug Making in America" by Bigelow-Hartford Carpet
Company published 1925. I was able to get
about four photos from the Bigelow-Sanford of old coach lace samples.
I am currently getting some photos from the Clinton
Historical Society, Clinton, MA of some old coach lace samples they
have. I also have a photo of the loom model that E.
B. Bigelow patented for making coach lace. Are there any family members
that have coach lace samples made by the
Clinton Company? I would like to be able to get photographs and document
and samples.
