     Charles F. Bigelow was born 23 Aug 1825 at unknown place, according to Bible rec­ords handed down in the family.  His marriage to Isabell Skinner (born 1 Jan 1830) was recorded as 13 Dec 1854—again no place mentioned.  The family is under the im­pression that Charles came from New York or the East, which is probably true.  The deaths of neither Charles nor Isabel were recorded in the Bible, and local historians says there are no cemetery records for them at Herschner, Kankakee county, IL where they lived, and where at least three of their six children died, and three were born, as follows:

i Oscar, born _ Oct 1855; died 24 Mar 1864, Herschner, Kankakee co, IL.

ii Ella E., born 08 Dec 1857; died 27 Dec 1896—where?; married Oliver Michaels.

iii  Ida May, born 12 Oct 1859; died 22 Apr 1864 Herschner, Kankakee, IL.

iv Charles Henry, born 04 Apr 1864 Herschner, IL; died 30 Sept 1945 Rockwood City, Calhoun co, IA; married 5 Aug 1891 Mary Ann Armstrong.  Her obituary says they farmed in Illinois until 1906, when they moved to Iowa.  6 children.

v Mary E., born 12 Mar 1866 Herschner, IL; died 5 Aug 1888.

vi Nora B., born 14 Aug 1870 Herschner, IL; no death date; married John Golding.

Descendants would like to be connected to the Bigelow family tree, and as yet we have not adequately researched this family.
