Abram is listed on the 1860 census for NY as follows: Abram - CLI - 897 - Plattsburgh. There is also a grave stone in Saranac, Clinton co, NY that has Abram Bigelow (1836-1896) and wife Elsie (1837-1905), and son Willie A. son of Abram and Elsie; died June 30, 1873; aged 5 yrs. 11 mos + 13 days. There is also an A. Bigelow notated on a map of Dannemora, NY dated 1869. He occupied a lot on the north side of Bouck Street, in the middle of the block, with E.J. White on his left and W.M. Graves on his right. I don't know if this is Abram or not. In my research I have found no Abram in this area mentioned in the Bigelow Genealogy.

Before I begin....I must tell you how very much I have enjoyed your website. The area that is written of are of my roots. Thank you for the pleasure.
My curiosity is of Abram BIGELOW b ca 1836 - d 4 Jun 1896 Saranac, Clinton co NY m Elsie .....ca 1855 [1837-1905] #15146.124
In researching Lands Deeds of Chazy Lake. I find Abram very active in land sales.[I believe today he could be called a land speculator]. Researching deeds of my ggrandmother & g aunt I was intrigued when I came across both he and his wife Elsie named in so many land transactions after the CWM Johnson survey 1885/86.
I've read your note that he possibly was living in Dannemora [1869] (see above).  In the 1880 Census I find him as an almost neighbor of my g grandmother on what is now Rte 374. Than again thru a deed to my g aunt yr 1887 on what was called Chazy Lake House Rd. (see below) I'm hoping you can add some clarity here.  Was he a Colonel....[listed on some transactions] ?  Who is Edwin Bigelow (see below), is he of that family? [another transaction].
In other words I'm trying to find out who this Abram is, his background, how did he be come the land owner of lands [after the
survey]that had been settled by so many folks, some of those who owned by what was considered legitimate deeds of the time.
May I hear from you.  Thanks

My hope was that you might have had some background on Abram.  He certainly had his name on enough land
transaction documents.
GGrandmother is Victoria Ladue [LEDOUX} whose husband, my GGrandfather, Leandre LEDOUX. [served in the Civil
War and was killed in action at the "Battle of the Wilderness in May 1864]. It was in 1887, lot 57 on the Johnson Survey
Map, that  was conveyed to her by Abram & wife Elsie.
G Aunt is Angeline [Angela] LEDOUX, sister of Leandre, and wife of Moise ST-GERMAIN.  What is interesting here.
Abram & Elsie deeded to Angeline in 1886 for $1.00 [Moise died yr recorded 1887] a parcel of their property on "Chazy
Lake Rd" lot 15  [Johnson Survey].
This search all began when I found a recorded deed of property thought legally purchased by my GGrandfather
Leandre from a Lunds U Pike for a sum,  year 1860.  This land included Eagle Point !!!!.... Most likely it was on this
land  where GGrandparents  Victoria & Leandre Ledoux  lived originally. The survey in 1885 changed her
circumstances & from what I've read, most possibly Moise & Angeline Ledoux St-Germain made their home on the same
property. Apparently this became all null & void because of landowner conflict... the survey.... sale by the state and then Abram
Bigalow is in the picture.
