My husband is 11 gen. from John Bigelow. I was copying the
pages from your site. When I got to Elisha 6 Bigelow, I
could not access his children, though they are highlighted. I have
quite a bit on Elisha's descendants in WI, including children for
Wealtha (3), Lucia (4), Cryton (8), Arvilla (2 sons), Ferrand
(8). Also have offspring of Ferrand's children for several
more gen. Are you interested?? The last time I saw a Bigelow
Society printout (abt 1987) the full names of Elverton 8 Bigelow's
daughters' husbands were not listed. Since Ethel &
Minnie married Parkinson brothers, I have lots on them. My
husband is
grandson of Ethel. Let me know if you want these lines, and how to
proceed. I have Family Tree Maker 5.0, can make gedcom file
for you. Kathy

Thanks for helping me put a piece of the puzzle together.
Sheldon P. WOOLSEY and Malinda are buried just a few rows over
from my grandparents in the same cemetery. As I am a WOOLSEY
descendant, I found your website MOST interesting! I'm still
looking for Sheldon's parents, but you've helped me solve the
dilemma of what Malinda's maiden name was. They are buried
with several of their children. I have a photo of their
headstone if this interests you.
BTW, Horatio Nelson BIGELOW is buried in the West Union Cemetery
in West Union, IA, with a wife named Sarah G. Could this be
the same "Dora" as you have him listed with. Shows that they
had one child.
Thanks again,

Hi Rod,
My paternal grandmother was Agnes Ida WOOLSEY. She told my
mom once upon a time, that Sheldon P. WOOLSEY was a relative.
Is there anything in your realm, that indicates whom his parents
were?
According to census and cemetery records, I show the following
children, as "known":
Alta M. WOOLSEY, b. 21 May 1859 WI, d. 21 Dec 1878, Fayette Co.,
IA
Minna WOOLSEY, b. 29 Mar 1870 IA, d. 23 Aug 1870, Fayette Co., IA
Mattie WOOLSEY, b. 29 Mar 1870 IA, d. 17 Aug 1870, Fayette Co.,
IA.
Volney J. WOOLSEY, b. abt 1871 IA (no final disposition on
this person).
Frank B. WOOLSEY, b. 2 Feb 1873 IA, 22 Dec 1878, Fayette Co., IA.
(Baby) WOOLSEY, b. 15 Aug 1876 IA, D. 15 Aug 1876, Fayette Co.,
IA.
Alice C. WOOLSEY, b. May 1880 IA, (no final disposition on this
person).
Sheldon, Malinda and children are all buried in the Dunham Grove
Cemetery, Randalia, Fayette Co., IA. (about two rows over from my
grandparents).
Randalia is in Center Township.
My cemetery book for the West Union Cemetery shows that Horatio
Nelson married Sarah G. (nee unk), and had daughter Eda.
Horatio and Sarah are
buried in the West Union Cemetery, West Union, Union Township,
Fayette co., IA. Your web site indicates that he married a
Dora. I wonder if they
are one and the same person. It does say that they had one
child. Dates for Horatio, b. 1835, d. 30 Sep 1915. Sarah G.,
b. 1845, no death
date listed. Again, thanks for the help that your website provided
me.
I notice that your website spells Sheldon's wife's name as
"Melinda." It is recorded as "Malinda" on her headstone. (As
you'll see.)
Best Wishes,
Chuck Taylor
