Joseph 8 Bigelow, was born 08 Nov 1827 Blais Township, Quebec (1827/28 (census)); d 10 July 1881, McLean Twp, Muskoka co, Ontario; John (or Joseph), believed to 'have moved West' and possibly married and raised a family. (see below)
1881 age 53 living in Muskoka, Ontario and married to Elizabeth age 52 with children:  Benjamin 19, Hannah 17, Washington 13 and Alexander age 11.  Elmer and Yolande Bigelow assumed Elizabeth was 2nd wife, but not sure.  Census also lists Joseph as born in Quebec and as French.  Other information they had said he was born in St. Blais, Quebec.  Yolande said she knows St. Blaise used to be called St. Blais sur Richelieu and no longer exists.  She believes two other sites may be in the immediate area, St. Jeann sur Richelieu and Iberville.  Elmer is grandson of Washington, son of Joseph.  Washington's children were Cora Schmidt, Wellington Bigelow (unm), Ellen, Joseph, Mary, Roe, Edward, Lillian, Dolstrom, and Louis Kendal.  Louis Kendal had:  Raymond, Wilbur, Elmer M. and Yolande Dube. (She has some dates she will send if needed). Wife Elizabeth was Elizabeth Lucy Hogg.

I have learned that Joseph Bigelow b 1828, married Lucy Hogg might have had the parents Joseph and Sarah. Also Joseph might have moved to Ont from Que to live with an Uncle in the Scugog area after his father passed away. Does this sound familiar to anyone or do you have a Joseph that might fit? Thanks Terri

I have been in touch with a granddaughter or great granddaughter of Washington Carol Gibson and we are working on Joseph and Elezebeth Lucy Hogg Bigelow.  Lucy and Elizabeth on the census are the same people.  Joe only married once.  I would be interested in talking with you about any other info you might have on this line of Bigelows.  Yours Terri

Joseph's identification as a son of Adam Chester is only supposed. Below are files from Joseph's descendants:

e-mail from Carol Gibson, carol.gibson@shaw.ca, (19 Mar 2007): gave death date as possibly 10 Jul 1881 at McLean Twp., Muskoka Co., Ontario.  Joseph married Elizabeth (Lucy) Hogg, born 01 Mar 1829.  Their children were born in Muskoka between 1851-1869 - (12 Apr 2007): she states that her uncle told her that Joseph was born in the Gaspe Area of Quebec but didn't know the town;

From: Linda Wisking < glwisking@hotmail.com >
My name is Linda and I am helping so step-cousins piece together their family tree.   Their grandfather was Alexander Bigelow, son of (I am sure) Joseph and Elizabeth Lucy Hogg.   He married twice, the second marriage being to Caroline Scheuermann.  They had 4 children before he died in 1925.   She then married my grandfather, Gordon Ross.  This is how I came into the story.   
The ladies I am in touch with have scant details on their grandfather, Alexander.   So I am really trying hard to create for them as accurate a tree as possible.   This is how I came across the Bigelow Society page.
