Comments:
                          My husband's ancestor, James Ayer Smith, and his brother
                          John M., were apprentices of Horace Bigelow, probably in the
                          1820s. James A. moved to Chicago in 1835, established
                          himself as a "manufacturing hatter and furrier" and became
                          quite successful. The information provided on your website
                          was very helpful to me. Thank you. (Horace and his son, H.P.,
                          are mentioned in one of the bios on the homepage listed above.)
From source above:

  Cincinnati, by whom he has two children: Frederick and Frieda. Mr. Bigelow was treasurer in the village of
  Waterville for a number of years and was supervisor of the town of Sangerfield for a term. He is a member of the
