     Another interesting visit in Melbourne Shores: “A set of Yale University rowing shorts and shirt was acquired by an associate, as well as a set of Yale University track shorts and shirt.  The name writen in the uniforms is L.H. Biglow, 111.  Google search brings up "Ray" Biglow, 111 who attended Lawrenceville Prep School and then Yale from 1905-1908.  He was an All American in football and team captain.  He was made Yale University football coach following his graduation (apparently this was done each year for the man elected football team captain the previous year.) A news article also shows that he was said to be the strongest oarsman on the Yale varsity crew.  He also belonged to the Senior Society Skull and Bones.  Biglow is listed in Wikipedia and there is a photograph of him there.  What is written there also says that his name was sometimes spelled "Bigelow". This is Lucius Horatio (10) Bigelow III (15326.37111) (1885-1961).

   We have just discovered your web site and enjoy it very much.  I have been trying to track down my grandmother, Ada Rafferty, who was married on 01May1884 to Lucius Horatio Biglow, and wonder if the Bigelow genealogies offer any clues there?
   I am also most interested in all the data contained in your web site about my Bigelow heritage.  I am sure that as I dig deeper, I will find out about the Bigelow Society, and other published materials.
I am Gladys Biglow Hull, daughter of Earl Biglow, preceded by 3 generations of Lucius Biglows, a Silas Biglow (b. 24 Dec1766), preceded by Samuel Biglo (b.28Oct1653), and John Bigulah (m. 30Aug1642).  This is as far as I have
gone based on family records, and without the benefit of shared genealogy. I look forward to exploring the data you and others have collected.  I am new at genealogy, and welcome any suggestions you may offer.
By the way, my line has fussed some about whether the proper spelling is Bigelow or Biglow.  Has anyone discussed spelling variations? Thank you,

Lucius ⁷ Bigelow (15326.37) married Susan Ann Moser who was born 18 Sep 1814. I have them living in Mathersfield, VT, not Weathersfield.  Susan Ann was daughter of Issac Moser (b 13 Apr 1768, lived in Stamford, CT, d Brooklyn) and Susannah Harper (b 04 Feb 1776, d 30 Oct 1846, Brooklyn).  Issac Moser was son of Johanas Moser (b 15 Mar 1736 at Milhauser ?, d 14 Apr 1765 in Schenectady, prob NY).

Lucius James Bigelow was born on December 13, 1802, in Weathersfield, Windsor County, Vermont, to Silas Bigelow and Elizabeth Boynton.[1] He married Susan Ann Moser on September 14, 1830.[2] Susan and Lucius either visited or moved to Vermont in the 1830's (evidenced by daughter Parmelia's birthplace), likely around the deaths of his parents in 1833, and then back to Brooklyn. In 1840 Lucius lived in Brooklyn, Kings County, New York.[3] In 1850 Lucius and wife Susan lived in Bernards Township, Somerset County, New Jersey, with children Lemuel G, Parmelia C, and Adra B.[4] Between 1850 and 1860 Lucius and Susan dropped the "e" from their last name, going as "Biglow" for the rest of their lives. In 1860 he lived in Bernards Township, Somerset County, New Jersey, with wife Susan and children Parmelia, Adra, and Charles W.[5] In 1865 he lived in Brooklyn, Kings County, New York with wife Susan and children Adra and Charles in the household of son Lucius Horatio and his family.[6] In 1870 Lucius and Susan lived in Norwalk, Fairfield County, Connecticut.[7] Lucius Biglow wrote his will on August 1, 1872 and it was proved on December 10, 1872 in Fairfield County Probate Court.[8] He died on November 11, 1872 in Fairfield County.[9] Lucius Biglow was buried in Green-Wood Cemetery in Brooklyn, Kings County, New York.[10]

The will of Lucius Biglow names Susan Ann Biglow and his "heirs at law" as legatees, and appoints sons Lucius Horatio Biglow and Lemuel Green Biglow as executors.[8]

A recent book[12] describes Lucius and Susan Ann (Moser) Bigelow as key figures in the underground railroad in Burlington, Vermont, but this is almost surely incorrect. Lawrence Goodhue Bigelow was a wealthy lumber merchant and fervent abolitionist who moved to Burlington around 1843 and also spent time in Canada, where he sourced his lumber.[13] He had two sons, George Henry and Lucius Horatio,[14] who also became strident abolitionists, and became newspaper publishers and editors in Vermont,[15] both eventually enlisting to fight in the Civil War.[16] It was Lucius Horatio, son of Lawrence, who appears to be the "conductor" of the underground railroad in Burlington.[17] Lucius James Bigelow was born in Weathersfield, Vermont and spent time there later in life, and was related to the Burlington Bigelows. It seems highly likely that Lucius James named his first son "Lucius Horatio" in honor of his fifth cousin, the infamous editor, abolitionist and war veteran Lucius Horatio, son of Lawrence. In similar fashion, Lucius James' son Lemuel Green Biglow was named after Lemuel Green, husband of Eliza Moser, Susan's sister.
