From: Grandview, WA USA : I have been interested in genealogy for several years but haven't been able to find much on the Bigelows. My grandfather's name was Charlie Arthur Bigelow. His father was (John)??. His mother's name was Amelia Evans.
My line came down from John Biglo thus:
  John Biglo - Mary Warren
     Samuel Bigelow - Mary Flagg
          Samuel Bigelow - Ruth Warren
               Cornelius Bigelow - Mary Graves
                     Noah Bigelow - Elizabeth ?
                           William Franklin Bigelow - Eliza Earl
                                 Samuel Elijah Bigelow - Amelia Evans
                                      Charles Arthur Bigelow - Ruby Pearl Fortune
                                           Aletta Ruth Bigelow - Eldred LeRoy Fortune
                                                Darrel Gene Fortune (me) - Connie Ann Lawson
