I am looking for the parents of Juliann Sager - b. 1820 - Madison Co., OH
Juliann Sager & Charles Converse (m. 1835) named their first son Squire after Charles' father and the second son after himself (Charles).
The third son was named Daniel Bigelow Converse. I notice several Bigelow's in Madison Co., OH for the 1820 and 1830 census'. Do you
know of any Bigelow - Sager connection?
I am looking for the parents of Juliann Sager - b. 1820 - Madison Co., OH

1) The 1880 census has Juliann's father being born in VA and her mother being born in CT. Here obituary says that she was born in
Madison County, Ohio, September 17th, 1820.

2) Juliann & Charles Converse (m. 1835) named their first son Squire after Charles' father and the second son after himself (Charles). The
third son was named Daniel Bigelow Converse. I notice several Bigelow's in Madison Co., OH for the 1820 and 1830 census'. Do you
know of any Bigelow - Sager connection?

The fourth son was named John Melvin Converse. Oddly, A John Sager (b. 20 Jan 1768) came from VA to Madsion Co., OH and was
living in the area at the time Juliann was born. Supposedly he (John) had left his family in VA. He married Frederica Margaret Bogan 15
Mar 1830 in OH.

From the History of Union county, OH
     Mr. Bigelow traces his ancestral history back to the Battle of Hastings 1063, the Norman knlght De Baguley belng one of the followers of William the Conqueror. John Blgelo, the ancestor of all the Blgelows in thls country, landed ln Boston in 1540. Our subject, A. R. Bigelow, is one of the successful and representative farmers of Union county which is the place of hls nativity as it was also of hls honored father.
     The old, homestead farm on whlch our subject was born and which is his place of abode is located in Union township comprislng 250 acres of as fine agricultural land, as can be found in this section of the state, the place being effectlvely watered by little Darby creek whlch wends its way across field and meadow.
     The family residence is a large substantlal farm structure and is symetrical in its appointments as an attractive rural home. Other improvements include two barns, sheds and other outbuildings while in every quarter of the place there is evidence of the care glven to the cultivation of the broad acres and to the breeding of stock, to whlch latter line of enterprise our subject devotes no little attention.
     Alpheus Russell Bigelow was born Oct. 29, 1851, the son of Alpheus Blgelow, who was one of the earliest settlers in what is now Union,townshlp, where he settled in the mldst of the virginal forest and began the arduous task of reclaiming his possessions from the heart of nature. Eliphas was a native of the state of Maine. Alpheus Sr. was reared on the old pioneer farm and received his education in the school of the distrlct. Attaining maturity he joined heart and hand wlth Melinda Converse, who was of staunch old puritan stock, a native of Madison county, Ohio.
     The original American ancestor of the Converse line became a resident of Massachusetts as early as 1620.
     Alpheus and Melinda became the parents of two children, Delilah, who died at the age of four and Alpheus R. the subject of this sketch. Alpheus Sr. died in 1851 and the wldow subsecuently married James McCloud, their issue being:
Jerry McCloud of Paris, Ohio
Rosa, wife of G. F. Morse, Garnet,Kansas
Miriam, wife of L. H. Elliott, Union county, Ohio
     Our subject was reared to man's estate on and near the old homestead receiving his education in the district schools and in Ohio Wesleyan University. In 1870 he assumed charge of the farm and continued to operate it for 10 years when he went to San Francisco, stayed. two years and then returned.
     In 1871 he married Hattie Rosalie Parthemore, born and raised in Union county, the daughter of Fred and Permelia Parthemore. They have six children.
