I don't know much about this family, as I am not related.
I do have some photos of Cornelius'children, including Albert, his son.
This Bigelow family was in Gratiot Co.,MI in the 1880 census and Cornelius
was married to a Rosanna. His children were Albert, Ada, Eugene, Laura and
Melvin. I do believe that Cornelius' father was William F. Bigelow, based
on the 1860 census in Bloomer, Montcalm Co.,MI. Would like to exchange what
info I do have.
