Descendent note:
Hi,I have been looking at all the information I can get my
hands on regarding Bigelow's for the past couple of
weeks. About 12 years ago or so Patricia Bigelow contacted
my grandfather (now deceased), and then my father, Gerald
Bigelow of Alma, Michigan for information about our family.
My decendents are, according to Patricia Bigelow:
Gerald Bigelow (10), William (9), William (8),
Ebenezer (7), Elijah 6, Noah 5, Cornelius 4, Samuel 3, Samuel 2, John 1. The only
information I can find on my grandfather, William (9) is his
social security number and birth and death dates. I have lots of
names, dates and history from our branch of the family if
you would like it, including the names of William's(8) fourteen
children and many of their grandchildren since I grew up in the
same town with many of my second, third and fourth cousins. Also
our family now consists of several Bigelows of generation (13). If
you already have most of this information please let me know where
I can find it.

Rod,
You have noted that William Augustus (8) Bigelow, son of Ebenezer
Elias Bigelow married Cornelia (Hudreth) Day. Would
you please let me know the source of that information. I
have some conflicting information.
Thanks!
