INTRODUCTION.

In presenting this work to our readers it might be
well to inform them concerning the origin of the book.
Through the kindness and liberality of Horace H. Bigelow,
Esq., of Worcester, Mass. (early in the season of 1886),
the members of different branches of the Bigelow Family
were invited to meet at Lincoln Park, Lake Quinsigamond,
Worcester, June 2, 1886. The invitation was accepted
by about two hundred of the family, and the day was
spent in a social and informal manner. The question of
gathering material and data for the compiling of a family
history was discussed and the following committee was
chosen to take the matter in charge : Horace H. Bigelow,
of Worcester, Mass., Gliairman; Rev. Jonathan Edwards,
of Wellesley, Mass. ; William P. Bigelow, of Natick,
Mass. ; John K. Seaver, of Malone, N. Y. ; Oilman Bige-
low Howe, of Northborough, Mass., Secretary; Leslie
Hastings, of Cambridge, Mass. ; and Horace P. Bigelow,
of Waterville, N. Y. ; the committee to report at a family
reunion to be held at the same place June 2, 1887. At
the meeting held on that date in Worcester, the Secretary
presented a report of the progress made and it was voted to
carry on the work of writing the genealogy and to employ

PREFACE.

In preparing this genealogical history we have labored
under the same disadvantages that undoubtedly all genealo-
gists encounter in their search for authentic data. The
early records of our New England towns are, in many
instances, very incomplete, which has compelled us to
search for the missing link in the register of deeds' office,
probate court records, church records, military rolls,
family Bibles, local histories and family genealogies. And
that we might obtain further information we searched
directories for the name of Bigelow and sent out circulars
asking for their assistance in furnishing records of their
families and information concerning their ancestors, which
was cheerfully furnished by them in many instances,
although we were doomed to disappointment in some
cases, but, we have many times, through the kind assist-
ance of others, been enabled to obtain much of the coveted
data which otherwise would have been lost. From the
material thus gathered we have endeavored to arrange a
genealogy which shall be correct, so far as the arrange-
ment of families and data are concerned. There are many
families of whom we were unable to obtain information,
but in nearly all of the families who would give us any

Xll PKEFACE.

assistance we have been able to connect them with the
family of John Biglo of Watertown. In a few instances
we have been obliged to make a probable connection of
the two families in question, but in all those cases we have
so stated the probability.

And we would take this opportunity to extend our
hearty and sincere thanks to all who have aided us in this
undertaking. To Messrs. Horace H. and Lambert Bige-
low, of Worcester, Mass., are the family indebted for
their great liberality in furnishing the means whereby this
work was carried to completion ; we would especially
thank the following for their valuable contributions and
kind assistance in getting information : Jonathan G. Bige-
low, Esq., Washington, D. C. ; Prof. Alpheus E. Bigelow,
Cleveland, O. ; I. E. Bigelow, Esq., Plain City, O., the
last two contributing much concerning the Ohio Bigelows.
Ebenezer Bigelow, Esq., Canning, Nova Scotia, for the
information concerning the Nova Scotia branch of the
family. To David S. Bigelow, Westchester, Ct. ; Asa R.
Bigelow, Colchester, Ct., and Anson Greene, Hammon-
ton, N. J., are our thanks due for much of the material
regarding the Colchester branch ; and to Samuel F. Bige-
low, Esq., Newark, N. J., for the sketch concerning the
New Jersey branch. To Watson H. Harwood, M.D., of
Chasm Falls, N. Y., and Joel Bigelow, of Chicago, 111.,
are we indebted for the very complete account of their
branch, and also to Frank B. Bigelow, Auburn, Me., and

Rev. Jonathan Edwards, Wellesley Hills, Mass. We
would also acknowledge the courtesy and kindness of the
Librarian at the rooms of the New England Historical and
Genealogical Society, and of Mr. Charles A. Cutter,
Librarian at the Boston Athenjeum, in allowing us the
free use of books and records in their custody, and also
would we acknowledge the courtesy and assistance ren-
dered us by Mr. C. J. Hoadley, the State Librarian at the
State House in Hartford, Ct. And we would also thank
the several town clerks who have so courteously assisted
in our search for family data in their respective offices.

EXPLANATION OF FOKM OF GENEALOGY.

Abbreviations : — b. stands for born ; bapt. for baptized ; m.
for married ; unm. for unmarried ; res. for resides or resided ;
d. for died.

The figures at the left hand of the page denote the number of
persons of the family name consecutively, from the first John
Biglo (whom we put down as No. 1) to the last of whom we
have any record ; whenever an obelisk (t) is prefixed to a name
that person will be taken up again, as for example : John Biglo
stands as No. 1, and his son Samuel stands as No. 6 and an
obelisk is prefixed to his name. We follow along in the next
generation and we find that the family of Samuel appears thus
( 1-6 Samuel Bigelow) , here his personal history is given, followed
by his children's names, dates, etc* His oldest son John
appears as No. 33, and in the same manner do we trace his
family history (6-33 John Bigelow, etc.). In this genealogy
we have rejected the double dating between the first of January
and the 25th of March, and made the year commence with
January 1st, that the reader may not be misled or perplexed in
relation to dates.

THE BIGELOW FAMILY.

FIRST GENERATION.

THE DESCENDANTS OF JOHN BIGLO, OF WATER-
TOWN, MASS.

Concerning the ancestry of John Biglo, the progenitor of the
Bigelows of this country, we are unable to get any satisfactory
account, traditions are so numei'ous and conflicting that we can
place no reliance upon any of them ; they would make our com-
mon ancestor a native of Wales, Scotland, Ireland and England,
as well as a PVench Huguenot. The most common belief has
been that we were of English descent, but a very careful and
persistent search has failed to find the name of Biglo or Bigelow
upon any public records in that country, various clues have been
followed in Scotland and the North of Ireland, but all alike
have been found to have no foundation. The English ancestry
of the Bigelows, as written by the late H. G. Somerby, several
years ago (and who spent considerable time in searching Eng-
lish records), appears to have its basis upon records of the
Beagely family found in the Parish of Wrentham, County of
Suffolk, and wills of the same family found in the Probate
Court. From the parish register was taken the family of
Randley Beagely and Jane his wife ; the youngest was recorded
as follows, viz. : "1616. John y" sonne of Randley Beagely &
Jane his wife baptized February y'' XVI." and this John he
takes to be the John Biglo of AVatertown. From the will of
Francis Baguley of Wrentham, dated Oct. 20, 1656, he takes
the following: "To his brother John Baguley, now living in
New England, a certain sum of money, if he comes for it in
person within two years," but he fails to show that Randley
Beagely had a son Francis, or that Francis Baguley was any way
related to John Beagely by 'die records.

18 THE BIGELOW FAMILY.

From a recent letter of the present rector of Wrentham to
Mr. Poultney Bigelow of New York we learn that John Beagely
was baptized Feb. 16, 1616, and was buried 1626, and his
widow, Jane Beagely, was buried 1626, which would appear as
though he was not baptized until nearly grown at least, and his
birth could hardly correspond with that of our ancestor. Thus
from the incomplete and conflicting records we are reluctantly
compelled to abandon for a time any attempt to establish a line of
ancestry for our early progenitor John Bigio. He probably had
no brothers in this country, but we find one Elizabeth Bigelow,
who married Dea. Richard Butler of Hartford, and from the
name and dates we suppose her to be a sister of John Biglo.
Richard Butler emigrated from Braintree, Essex Co., England,
in 1632, and settled first in Cambridge, Mass., was a member of
Rev. Thomas Hooker's church, made a freeman 1634, and in
1635 he went with Rev. Mr. Hooker, Elder Stone and others
to commence the settlement at Hartford. He was chosen dea-
con of the first church in that town, and was twice married, but
we have no date of either marriage. A private record says that
he had five children by his second wife, Elizabeth (Bigelow).
The following is a partial list of his children by both marriages.

By first marriage :

Mary, b. 1635 ; m. Samuel "Wright ; lived in Wethersfleld.
Thomas, b. 1637 ; m. S^r^h Stone.

Samuel, b. 1639; m. Mary^Olmsted ; lived in Wethersfleld.
Nathaniel, b. 1641 ; m. Sarah ; lived in Wethersfleld.

By second marriage :

Elizabeth, b. 1643 ; m. Dea. Joseph Olmsted.

Joseph, b. 1648; m. Mary Goodrich; lived in Wethersfleld.

Daniel, b. ; vi. Mabel Olmsted ; lived in Hartford.

Hannah, b. ; m. John Green of Fairfield, Ct.

Dea. Richard Butler died in Hartford, Aug. 6, 1684 ; his
widow, Elizabeth (Bigelow) Butler, died Sept. 11, 1691.

The first mention we find of John Biglo appears on the Water-
town Town Records, where his marriage is the first marriage
recorded in that town, viz.: "1642-30-8. John Bigulah and
Mary Warin joyned in mariag before Mr. Nowell." She was
the daughter of John and Margaret Warren and is said to have
been born in England ; she bore him thirteen (13) children and
died Oct. 19, 1691. From the list cf those who took the oath

J"

GENEALOGY. 19

of fidelity at Watcrtown, 1652, we find that John Biggalough
was one of the number and he became a freeman April 18, 1690,
which we find from the roll of freemen written as John Bigolo ;
under the same date we find Samuel Begaloo was made a free-
man, and by another list, dated May 16, 1690, we find Samuel
Biggilo and John Warren, Jr., were made freemen. On the
returns of soldiers who were in the service from Nov. 25 to
Dec. 3, 1675, we find the names John Bigulah, Sr., Michaell
Flegg and Isaac Leonard, the last named being wounded. Thus
we find the name variously spelled by different officials, but
when we find the name written by any member of the family in
those early days it is written Biglo, Biglow, Bigelo or Bigelow.
His trade appears to have been that of a blacksmith, as appears
by the following taken from the town records: "Agreed w"^
John Biglo y^ for ten trees the towne allowed him for the setting
up a shop for a Smithes forge, y" he shall either goe on with y'
his promise of setting up his trade, w"' is the trade of a Smith
w'^'in one twelfmonth after the date hearof or else to pay unto
the towne ten shillings for these ten trees he acknowledged to
have off the townes." Dated March 4, 1651.

He was chosen a Surveyor of Highways 1652 and 1660, a
Constable 1663, and one of "the seven men" {i. e.. Selectman)
in 1665, '70, '71. His homestead consisted of six acres and was
bounded north by Richard Ambler and William Parker, east by
Thomas Straight, south by the highway, and on the west by
Miles Ives. After the death of his wife Mary he married
second, Oct. 2, 1694, Sarah Bemis, daughter of Joseph Bemis
of Watertown. He died July 14, 1703, at the ripe old age of
86 years. His will, dated Jan. 4, 1703, was proved July 23,
1703, and is as follows:

SECOND GENERATION.

1-2. John Bigelow of Hartford, Conn., the eldest son of John
and Mary (Warren) Biglo, was born in Watertown, Oct. 27,
1643, and early emigrated to Hartford, where he purchased land
as recorded May 3, 1669, and on which his house was situated,
and it was described as follows: "Was lot of Anne Wesby,
and bounded West on the Highway, East and partly South,
on Benjamin Huber and Peck, on the North by Thomas
Watt's land." This land was situated near the present grounds
of the Trinity College in Cooper Lane. On account of the
meagre records at that time we find no record of his marriage,
but from other sources we learn that he married Rebecca Olm-
sted, daughter of Capt. Nicholas Olmsted* and Sarah (Loomis)
his wife. (Capt. Nicholas Olmsted was born in England and
served in the Pequot War in 1637, and, as the historian has it,
"after sowing his wild oats he became a good citizen." He
was made a freeman 1669, a captain in 1675, and died Aug. 31,
1684. In his will he mentions daughters Sarah Gates, Mabel
Butler and Rebecca Bigelow.) In 1707 John Bigelow deeded a
portion of his property to Jonathan Butler, a nephew of his
wife, and he is supposed to have died about 1721, as letters of
administration were granted Dec. 5, 1721, to Rebecca his wife,
and an inventory was taken Dec. 27, 1721, and amounted to
£54-07-01. This settlement appears not to have been very

ford. They had: 1. Sarah; m. 1662, George Gates. 2. Mary, b. Nov. 20,

24 THE BIGELOW FAMILY.

satisfactory, as from the Probate Records we find that Joseph,
son of Jonathan Bigelow and nephew of John, appeared before
the Court and remonstrated against allowing Jonathan Butler to
hold the property which was deeded to him by John Bigelow,
but without avail, as the property continued in the Butler family
down to a very recent date. He left no issue.

1-3. Jonathan Bigelow of Hartford, Coup., son of John and
Mary (Warren) Biglo, was born Dec. 11, 1646, and early went
to Hartford, where he married, 1671, Rebecca Shepard, daugh-
ter of Sergt. John and Rebecca (Greenhill) Shepard. She was
born in Hartford 1650. She died previous to 1686, and he
married second Mary Olcott, daughter of Samuel Olcott, by
whom he had several children. She died March 7, 1697, and he
married third Mary Benton, by whom he had no children. He
died Jan. 9, 1711, and his widow married for her second hus-
band, March 19, 1713, Dea. John Shepard, a brother of his
first wife, and she died Dec. 23, 1752, aged 90 and upwards,
according to the records of the First Church. His land was re-
corded Nov. 24, 1674, and is described as bounded west on the
road leading to Wethersfield, and we find on the records at the
State House at Hartford, concerning private controversies, at
the Court of Assistants at Hartford, Oct. 6, 1686. "Whereas:
Jonathan jun'r, Rebecca, Mary, Sarah, John and Violet, chil-
dren of Rebecca Bigelow alias Shepherd, Received judgment
against Serg't John Shepherd for one forth part of the estate
that he received as administrator of the estate of Thomas Green-
hill deceased and award was made to Jonathan jr. and brothers
and sisters." His will appointed his widow Mary and son
Joseph as executors, and mentions children Jonathan, Jr., John,
Mary, Sarah, Violet, Joseph, Abigail, Daniel and Samuel, the
last two were under age, and Thomas Olcott was appointed
guardian to Daniel, aged 18, and Samuel, aged 16. Feb. 5,
1711, two years later, Samuel Benton was appointed guardian
to Daniel, age 20, and Dea. John Shepherd appointed guardian
to Samuel, age 18. Owing to the meagre records we are unable
to give the dates of births, but give such as we have been able
to gather from various sources.

but late in life (his 87th year) , being anxious to reside on the land
that he had earned at the peril of his life, removed from Water-
town (in company with his son Eleizer) to the grant of land in
Narragansett No. 2, now Westminster, making the journey June
9, 174;i, where he spent the last years of his life, aud died Feb.
1, 1745, in the 90th year of his age, and was the first adult who
died in the new town. He had a large family of children, but
one of whom lived in Westminster. They were as follows,
viz. :

43. tJosHUA, b. Nov. 25, 1G77; m. Uamiah Fiske.

jured by being thi'own from a horse, and died Oct. 27, 1709.

47. Jauez. We find no record of his birth, but family traditions say

that Jabez settled in Bristol, England, and had a large number of
descendants, and he was engaged in mercantile business, but we
fail to find any records to corroborate the tradition.

48. Elizabeth, b. Aug. 3, 1687; m. Feb. 28, 1724, Jonathan Harrington

49. David, b. April 30, 1G94; is said to have died in Spain, but we find

1-10. James Bigelow of Watertown, sou of John and Mary
(Warren) Biglo, was born in Watertown, but we find no record
of his birth. He married March 25, 1687, Patience, daughter
of Jonathan Brown. She died and he married second, July 3,
1093, Elizabeth, daughter of John (or Jonathan) Child. She died
April 20, 1707, and he married third, June 15, 1708, Joanna
Erickson of Boston. He died in Weston Jan. 20, 1728, and his
widow married second, Jan. 8, 1729, Adam Smith of Boston.
In Sewall's Diary, under date of Nov. 3, 1G85, we find that
James Bigelow was fined for insulting Lieut. -Governor Stough-
ton and Dudley. Just what the offence consisted of we are in
doubt, but was probably an offence that would not be noticed at
the present time so, rigid were the customs and laws of those
early days. His children were probably born in Watertown,
but two of them were recorded on the town records.

THIRD GENERATION.

3-15. Jonathan Bigelow of Hartford, Conn., son of Jonathan
and Rebecca (Shepherd) Bigelow, was born in Hartford, March
22, 1678, and married Dec. 14, 1699, Mabel Edwards, daughter of
Richard and Elizabeth (Tuthill) Edwards, She was born Dec,
13, 1685, and died in Hartford, May 14, 1765. She was a rela-
tive of Rev. Jonathan Edwards the theologian. He settled near
his father's in Wethersfield Lane and died July 29, 1749. His
will, dated Nov. 16, 1738, and proved Oct., 1749, mentions
wife Mabel, daughters Jerusha, Rebecca, Mabel, and Irena, and
sous Timothy and Jouathan, and by the records in clerk's office
at Hartford we find that John Poogotoon (Indian) and Sarah his
wife, with the consent of their master, Thomas Reeves of South-
old, Long Island, did bind themselves to serve Jonathan Bige-
low four and one half years and their sou Sampson for nineteen
years and six mouths till he was 21 years of age, dated July 12,
1723. Their children were probably born in Hartford, but
owing to the defective records of those days we have the birth
of but two, and find the rest of the children on the records of
the First Church among the baptisms, and the following are
the children as we find from the scanty records :

59. fTiMOTHY, h. June 20, 1702; m. Abigail Olcutt; lived in Hartford.

60. Mabel, h. Nov. 12, 1704; m. Daniel Marsh.

61. Joseph; hapt. Sept. 15, 1706.

62. Kebecca; hapt. Dec. 5, 1708; d. Jan, 8, 1754, unm.

63. Irena; hapt. Nov. 4, 1711; m. Daniel Marsh.

65. Jkrusha ; hapt. June 23, 1717 ; m. Elisha Butler,

66. Anne; hapt. Jan. 7, 1721.

3-17, John Bigelow of Hanover, N, J., son of Jouathan
and Rebecca (Shepherd) Bigelow, born in Hartford, married,
Jan. 11, 1710, Abigail Richards, and lived for a short time in
Glastonbury, where he was a large land owner. He was living
there in 1713, when his name appeal's on the tax list of that
year. His father gave him 270 acres in Glastonbury, Nov. 13,

GENEALOGY. 31

1709. A portioa of this land he sold Dec. 22, 1716, and he
probably moved the next year to Hanover, County of Hunter-
don, in the Province of West Jersey, as his name does not
appear on the records of Glastonbury in 1718, and on Dec. 8,
1729, he sold his laud in Glastonbury, being at that time "of
Hanover, Hunterdon County, Provence of West Jersey, and
sometime of Glastonbury, Conn." The records of those days
fail to give a full record of his family, but we find that in 1723
he was Collector of the township of Hanover, then Cc ' ^ of
Hunterdon and Province of West Jersey, but we find little l,
cerning his family, and can give the names of but two children,
although it is presuriied that there were others :

67. tJoHN, b. in Hanover, 1720; m. Elizabeth ; lived in Hanover.

68. Aaron, b. in Hanover, 1722; he was probably a blacksmith, and in

company with his brother John OAvned a for'ge in Hanover in 1753.

3-23. Joseph Bigelow of Hartford, Conn., son of Jonathan
and Mary (Olcott) Bigelow, was born about 1690, and married
May 21, 1713, Sarah Spencer, and settled in Hartford, where
he died about 1731. On the death of his father he was appointed
executor (with his step-mother) of the estate, and became a large
land owner in Hartford. May 1, 1722, we find that Joseph
Bigelow, son of Jonathan Bigelow, appeared at the Probate
Court and appealed from the decision of the Court in allowing
Jonathan Butler to hold the property of John Bigelow, but was
overruled on the appeal. His will dated Sept. 4, 1731, mentions
wife Sarah ; sons Joseph, E^lisha and Josiah ; daughters Sarah,
Mary and Abigail, and kinsman Jona. Williams, probably his
brother-in-law. To his daughters he gave eighty pounds each,
and named his wife Sarah and son Joseph as executors. They
were duly appointed as such Feb. 19, 1732. The children of
Joseph were :

69. Sarah, b. Sept. 6, 1715.

70. t Joseph, b. Aug. U, 1717; was married and lived in Hartford.

71. Abigah., b. .June 9, 1719; d. Oct. 27, 1729.

72. Mauy; bapt. July 2, 1721.

73. fELisHA, b. June 22, 1723; m. Hannah Nichols; lived in Hartford.

74. tJosiAH, b. Jan. 3, 1720; m. Elizabeth ; lived in Hartford.

75. Abigail, b. Sept. 8, 1729 (probably) ; m. Ichabod Welles, Jan. 3,

1751, son of Thomas and Jerusha (Treat) Welles.

3-24. Daniel Bigelow, son of Jonathan and Mary (Olcott)
Bigelow, was baptized at the First Church in Hartford, Conn.,

32 THE BIGELOW FAMILY.

March 26, 1693, and married Hannah Bidwell. He died May
14, 1733, leaving three children, and on June 5, following,
William Bidwell was appointed administrator to the estate and
guardian to the children : Hannah, aged 14; Martha, aged 11 ;
and Daniel, aged 8^ years. From the Colonial Records of
Conn, we extract the following, under date of May, 1735 :

"On Memorial of William Bidwell of Hartford, administrator
of the estate of Daniel Bigelow late of Hartford, deceased :

Shewing to this Assembly the s'd Daniel Bigelow died intes-
tate, leaving three children by his first wife, whose maiden name
was Hannah Bidwell, which Hannah was owner of land when
she married unto said Bigelow, and that the said Bigelow had by
s'd Hannah, one son and two daughters, which still survive, and
that all the movable estate is not sufficient to pay all s'd Bige-
low's just debts, and shewing that Martha, one of the daughters
of s'd Daniel and Hannah, who is now 13 years old, is an idiot,
and wholly incapable of doing anything for herself, and memo-
rialist would ask that some person be appointed to estate of s'd
Martha to pay a bill of £24-1 2s., which was ordered, and ap-
pointed Joseph Pitkin and Jonathan Bull."

The children were :

76. Hannah, h. 1719.

77. Martha, b. 1722 ; non compos.

78. fl^ANHiL, b. 1724 ; m. Abigail .

3-25. Samdel Bigelow of Middletown, Conn., son of Jona-
than and Mary (Olcott) Bigelow, was bapt. in the First Church
at Hartford, March 31, 1695. He went to Southampton, L. I.,
where he lived for several years, and married Mehitable (Spen-
ser), though we do not find any date or place where she be-
longed. On the land records at Middletown, Conn., we find
that, April 2, 1723, Samuel Bigelow of Southampton, L. I.,
State of N. Y., ship carpenter, bought 350 acres of land in
Middletown, of Ezekiel Howell of Southampton, L. I., and paid
the sum of twenty shillings current money. In the same
records, dated Oct. 4, 1731, we find Samuel Bigelow of South-
ampton sold a parcel of land to Moses Taylor of Hartford,
located in Middletown on the east side of the river, in what is
now Portland; and in 1733 he again sold a parcel of land, he
being of Southampton at that time; but on Jan. 6, 1738, he
sold some more laud in Middletown, and at this time was a resi-
dent of Middletown, and about this time he is spoken of as a

GENEALOGY. 33

physician. His will, datAl Oct. 14, 1748, and proved at the
Probate Court at Hartford soon after, mentions wife Mehitable,
sons Timothy, Igaac and Samuel, daughters Abigail and Mary,
and step-daughter P^lizabeth Spencer. The estate was api)raised
Feb. 23, 1749, at £3023-2-2. His family were as follows :

79. Abigail, h. Feb. 10, 1723; m. Gary.

80. tTniOTHY, h. Sept. 19, 1724; to. Elizabeth Clark; lived in Middle-

town.

81. Mary, h. Sept. 18, 1726; to. Whittemore; lie c?. and she m.

second, Elijah Johnson.

82. Isaac, h. June 15, 1730; he Avas a sailor during a portion of liis life.

His will, dated Nov. 6, 1751, and proved Feb. 14, 1768, is recorded
in Middletown, viz.: "I Isaac Biglow of Middletown in the
County of Hartford, being bound on a voyage to sea and consider-
ing of the uncertainty of my temporal life do make this raj' last will
and testament " and gives his brother Timothy Bigelow all of his
real estate, to his three sisters, Elizabeth Spencer, Abigail Cary,
and Marj' Whittemore, he divided his personal estate effually, and
appointed his brother Timothy executor of his will, and makes no
mention of his brother Samuel.

6-33. John Bigelow of Marlborough, Mass., son of Samuel
and Mary (Flagg) Bigelow, was born in Watertown, May 9,
1675, and married in Watertown, June 12, 1696, Jerusha Gar-
field, daughter of Joseph and Sarah (Gale) Garfield of Water-
town. She was born June 6, 1677, and died in Marlborough,
Jan. 16, 1758. He was the first of the name to settle in Marl-
borouo;h, which he did soon after his marriage and settled in
that part of the town known as " The P'arm." On his wedding
day a friend by the name of Dorr gave them a present of three
old chairs which he claimed had been in the Dorr family for
three generations and were made in England about 1620 ; these
chairs have been handed down in the family to the present time
and are now in the possession of Mr. W, Williams of Chicago,
111., a descendant of the family.

On the fifth day of Oct., 1705, John Biglow of Marlborough,
and Thomas Sawyer, and his son Elias Sawyer, of Lancaster,
were at work in that part of Lancaster now Boylston, and were
surprised by the Indians and made prisoners and taken captive
to Canada, and were held prisoners by the French Governor, of
whom they obtained their release in the following manner :
Both Sawyer and Biglow were good mechanics, the former a
blacksmith and the latter a carpenter, and they proposed to the
Governor that if he would procure their release they would build
a saw-mill, there being none at that time in Canada. The offer
was readily accepted, and they built a saw-mill on the River
Chamblay, the first mill built in Canada, and after some delays
Biglow and the elder Sawyer were permitted to return, the
younger Sawyer being kept there for several months to run the
mill before being allowed to return. The following is a copy of
a letter written by Mrs. Biglow to her husband while he was
in captivity :

" Maulburt Aug. 22, 1706.

Dear and loving Husband. In much grief and tender affec-
tion, greatly lamenting your miserable condition, hoping in the

GENEALOGY. 35

mercy of God who has prospered you and kept you alive hitherto
and will iu His own due time work your deliverance, that these
few lines may find you in health as I am at present and the
children, blessed be God for it and for all his mercy bestowed
on you and on myself.

This may acquaint you that I received your letter dated
January the 6th on the 6th of Aug. last, and for which I am
though in much sorrow and grief, thankful to you. And I do
most humbly and importunately petition the governor to have
pity and compassion on yourself and me.

Lamentations 3 : 25. The Lord is good to them that wait for
him, to the soul that seeketh him. It is good that a man should
both hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the Lord, for the
Lord will not cast off forever, but though he cause grief, yet will
he have compassion according to the multitude of his mercies.
Wherefore should a living man complain, a man for the punish-
ment of his sins. Let us search, and try our way, and turn
again to the Lord.

-»*■

I remain your loving wife, greatly sorrowing for you.

Jerusha Bigelow.

I do further acquaint you that brother Samuel and Thomas is
well and the I'est of our relations."

Mr. Biglow in token of his gratitude on his release from
captivity called his daughter, born after his return, Comfort,
and a second daughter. Freedom, as an expression of the happi-
ness and peace he then enjoyed, as compared with that he suf-
fered while a prisoner. That he was a good carpenter we may
infer from the records, when the town voted to employ John
Biglow and James Taylor to superintend the finishing of the
new meeting-house in 1712. We find by the records that in
1711, for the better protection of the inhabitants of the town,
the different families were assigned to garrisons located in
different parts of the town, and the families of John, Samuel
and Thomas Biglow were assigned to the garrison of Joseph
Morse. Mr. Biglow was a highly respected citizen and died in
Marlborough, Sept. 8, 1769, at the ripe old age of 94 years and
4 months. His family were all born in Marlborough but became
Avidely separated, only one of his five sons remaining in the
town. Children:

145. fBKNJAMiN, 6. Dec. 8, 1709; m. M indwell Coolidge; lived in Weston.

146. Elizabeth, h. "al)out the 9th of August, 1713"; she is probably

jamin Parnienter, by Rev. MattlicAv Byles, and prol)aljly the
mother of John Newton Parmenter, who m. in Lancaster Han-

7-45. Lieut. John Bigelow of Colchester, Conn., son of
Joshua and Elizabeth (Flagg) Bigelow, was born in Watertown,

Dec. 20, 1681, and married for his first wife Hannah , of

whom we have no record. He is supposed to have moved to
Hartford early and may have married his first wife in that town,
but we find no record of the fact, or what her maiden name was.
She died March 31, 1709, probably in Hartford, where he lived
for some years. By a deed on record at Colchester, dated Feb.
26, 1706, we find the opening as follows, viz. : " To John
Bigelow son of Joshua Bigelow of Watertown Mass. which John
Bigelow now dwells in Hartford on the East" (meaning probably
the east side of the river) , but he probably did not build his house
in Colchester until 1710. He married second, his cousin, Sarah
Bigelow, Nov. 4, 1709 ; she was daughter of Jonathan and
Rebecca (Shepherd) Bigelow of Hartford, and tradition says
that she was a tailoress and brought him a bushel of silver
money which she had earned with her needle, and with this
money he built the house in Colchester, located on Bulkley
Hill, and it was said to have been the most elegant house in
town, and was an old landmark until a few years years ago
when it was taken down to make room for a more modern house.
At the raising of the old house twelve men are said to have
come from Hartford on horseback through the wilderness to
assist (there not being enough men in the town), and had to
find their way by marked trees a distance of 25 miles. His
wife Sarah died Oct. 13, 1754, and he married third, Abigail
(no date is found) ; she died, as is found on the grave-
stone, " In memory of Mrs Abigail ye third wife of Lieut John
4

42 THE BIGELOW FAMILY.

Bigelow, who died in Aug 1st 1760, in ye 58th year of her age."
He married fourth Hannah Munn, but we find no date of mar-
riage or any account of her after his death. He died March 8,
1770, in the 94th year of his age. His will, dated May 18,
1769, and proved April 10, 1770, in which he bequeaths house
and part of personal property to his wife Hannah, aud lands and
other personal property to sous David and John, Jr., and six
shillings apiece to the heirs of his deceased sou, Asa Bigelow.
He was a prominent man in townand was honored with the title
of Lieut. Their children were :

149. tDAViD ; hapt. in the Second Church at Hartford, Sept. 22, 170G ;

m. Editha Day, and lived iu Colchester.

150. tJoHN, b. probably in Hartford, March 25, 1709; m. Auua Bate;

lived in Colchester.

151. Sarah, h. probably in Colchester, July 17, 1712; d. Nov. 30, 1744,

unm.

152. Jonathan, 5. May 12, 1714; d. Aug. 14, 1739, unm.

153. tAsA, b. Sept. 3, 1720; m. Dorothy Otis; lived in Colchester.

7-50. Joseph Biglow of Weston, Mass., son of Joshua aud
Elizabeth (Flagg) Bigelow, was born in Watertown, Dec. 29,
1695, and was twice married. The name and date we have
been unable to find of his first wife, neither can we find any
record of his children, but we find by the Town Records in
Weston that he married, July 10, 1755, Thankful Robinson, a
daughter of William Robinson of Newton. And by his will,
dated April 15, 1758, he gave "unto Sarah daughter of son
Joseph jun'r late of Weston property which were mine before
my marriage with my present wife, but if Sarah should die
before me, then it shall go to Thankful my wife." He probably
died a few years after, as his widow Thankful married, June 5,
1766, P^zra Graves of Sudbury. We find by records in the
Registry of Deeds Office at Cambridge, that Joseph, Senior, sold
Joseph, Jr., a tract of land in Weston, June 6, 1753, and by
the same records we find that he deeded Joseph, Jr., one-half
of a farm in Weston with half of the buildings thereon for five
hundred pounds, dated May 30, 1755, and on Sept. 1, 1755,
they made an agreement iu the further division of the farm, so
we have abundant reason for believing that he had a sou Joseph,
we also find that Joseph and wife Thankful sold their interest
in the estate of William Robinson Sept. 24, 1760, from which
we infer that he was living at that time. Of his family we have

GENEALOGY. 43

but little and we give the following as a part of his family,
although he may have had others :

154. t'TosEPH ; in. Lydia Warren ; lived in Weston.

155. tUiiiAH (supposed to be a son of Josepli) ; m. Nov. 27, 1748,

Abigail Pierce of Stow; lived in Bolton, Mass.

156. Elizabhtu. Bond in his History of Watertown credits Joseph

with a daughter Elizabeth, who in. April 2, 1741, Daniel Smith.

7-51. Daniel Bigelow of Worcester, Mass., son of Joshua
and P^lizabcth (Flagg) Bigelow, was born in Watertown, where
he was baptized Aug. 29, 1697, and married Elizabeth Whitney,
daughter of Nathaniel and Mercy Whitney (no date given), and
tlien settled in Worcester, in that part known as Pakachoag
Hill, and lived there until his death about 1789, at the age of
92. Their children were born in Worcester:

157. fl^ANiEL, b. Jan. 4, 1729; in. Mary Bond; lived in Worcester.

158. fDAViD, b. Sept. 19, 1730; m. Sarah Eaton ; lived in Worcester.

Worcester; she was for many years a well known school
teacher in Worcester.

7-52. Ebenezer Bigelow, son of Joshua and Elizabeth
(Flagg) Bigelow, was born in Watertown, .Sept. 4, 1698, and
married. May 29, 1720, Hannah, daughter of Abraham Browne.
He was a carpenter by trade. His father sold him a piece of
land in Weston, Oct. 7, 1717. He lived in Weston a short time
and then moved to Worcester where he lived for a time, and it
is supposed that he lived a while in Newton, and in 1740 he is
found to be living in Waltham. We find but few of his children's
births recorded, the most of them being from the church records.
We have no date of his death or of the death of his wife, but
tradition says that he died in Cuba.

163. tEisEXEZER, b. in Weston, Jan. 23, 1721. He may be the Ebenezer

Avho lived in Lancaster.

164. JosiAH, b. in Worcester, Aug. 1, 1722; probably f?. young.

165. Hannah, b. in Worcester, Feb. 7, 1724. This may be the Hannah

1760, they moved to Bridgton, Me., where he d. Feb., 1808;
and she d. Sept. 11, 1811, and left descendants, most of whom
settled in the west.

7-53. Gershom Biglow of "Weston and Sutton, Mass., son
of Joshua and Elizabeth (Flagg) Bigelow, was born in Water-
town, Sept. 6, 1701, and married in Watertown (by Rev. Ware-
ham Williams), June 25, 1724, Rachel Gale, daughter of
Abraham and Rachel Gale, and she was born Dec. 14, 1702, and
died in Auburn, Nov. 5, 1800. He died in Auburn, Feb. 2,
1789. We find by the Register of Deeds at Worcester that
Gershom Biglo of Weston bought land in Sutton, April 24, 1729,
of Nath. Jones of Worcester, and Oct. 25, 1742, we find he sold
25 acres of land to David Baldwin of Sudbury, lie then living in
Sutton, again in June 12, 1752, we find that Gershom Biglo and
wife Rachel Biglo sold their home place to Zechariah Nichols
of Redding. We find that they had four children recorded in
Weston and no record of any family in Sutton, although he
probably had other children that were not recorded, as we find
the marriage of Gershom Biglow, Jr., recorded in Sutton, and
we find that Gershom Biglow, Jr., bought land in Sutton of
David Baldwin of Sudbury, Feb. 9, 1769, and again we find
that Gershom Biglow, Jr., and wife Lydia Bigelow of Ward
sold a tract of land to James McFarland, .Jan. 7, 1783. We
give the names of such of his family as we find mention of :

175. Susannah, h. in Weston, Oct. 24, 1724.

176. tJABEZ, h. in Weston, Oct. 4, 1726; m. Oct. 10, 1752, Susanna

1758, his widow administering to his estate. The estate was
appraised Sept. 2, 1758, and valued at £9-8-8, and she d. within
one year after.

178. Eunice, h. in Weston, Feb. 7, 1731; m. Sept. 8, 1772, Samuel

Woodward of Sutton.

179. Gershom; m. Jan. 11, 1770, Lydia Stockwell of Sutton.

7-54. Eleazer Bigelow of Westminster, Mass., son of
Joshua and Elizabeth (Flagg) Bigelow, was born in Watertown,
March 14, 1705, and married, Nov. 24, 1724, Mary Fiske (by
Rev. Wareham Williams), and lived for many years in Water-
town, but in company with his father he moved, June 9, 1742, to

GENEALOGY. 45

Westminster, then known as Narragansett No. 2, and became
one of the earliest settlers in that town, and died Feb. 24, 1762.
His wife died Feb. 23, 1777. His will, dated April 30, 1758,
mentions wife Mary, sons Benjamin, Elisha, Jabez and Joshua,
daughters Mary, Ann and Esther, and appointed Joshua as his
sole executor. To Benjamin he gave Lot No. 6, P^lisha, Lot No.
18 and two meadow lots, Jabez, Lot No. 44, and to Joshua the
remainder of his estate "after all other debts are paid." His
children were all, except the youngest, born in Watertown :

P.atience (Browne) Bigelow, was baptized in Watertown, May

6, 1688, and married (no date) Merc}^ , and died at

Casco Bay, Aug. 9, 1718, leaving one daughter. His widow
married second (at Concord, Mass.), Jan. 28, 1721, John
Andros of Killingly, Conn.

187. Patience, b. June 25, 1717. The following we copy from the
Town Records in "Weston, Mass., and refers to the above
Patience : " "Whereas there is in the 14th Page of this Book, a
record of the birth of one Patience Bigalow, — this is to Cei-tifie
tliat tlie raotlier of s'd Patience came to me to have the birth of
her child recorded, when the s'd child was several years old (I
being then Town Cleric.) I then calculated the age of the s'd
child back to And the year of her birth and accordingly entered
the same. Several years after the s'd mother came to me again
and brought another woman with her, who both asserted that
there was a mistake in the record of the birth of s'd child of
just one year, and produced a Certificate of her own marriage
of which I took a copy, they both asserted that the s'd Patience
was one year younger than the record made her, to be, there-
fore, I being tlie man that entered the same at flrst, and they
both affirming that there was a mistake as above s'd, and I being
then in the same office of town clerk, thinking that if the same
was not entered right at flrst and I had missed in the calculating
as above mentioned I ought to set it right then, which was the
true cause of the altering of s'd record, which is just one year
from what it was at the entering as asserts.

February 28, 173|. Eben'k Allen, Town Clerk."

FOURTH GENERATION.

15-59. Lieut. Timothy Bigelow of Hartford, Conn., son of
Jonathan and Mabel (Edwards) Bigelow, was born in Hartford,
June 20, 1702, and married, Oct. 25, 1727, Abigail Olcott,
daughter of John Olcott. She was born Feb. 15, 1704. He
died June 2, 1747, and she married second, Nov. 6, 1748, Capt.
Daniel Goodwin, and died in Hartford, Dec. 26, 1776. Lieut.
Timothy was a prominent man in Hartford, and we find that he
was appointed Adjutant in the army at Cape Breton, March 14,
1745, in place of Cyprian Nichols, and appointed Second Lieut.,
May, 1746, in a company that went in the Canadian Expedition.
His will, dated July 9, 1746, mentions wife Abigail, sons Heze-
kiah, Timothy, John and James, daughters Abigail, Ann and
Martha, and appointed his wife Abigail as executrix. Their
children were born in Hartford :

188. Hezekiah, b. Feb. 9, 1728; d. Nov. 28, 1748, U7im.

189. t'l'iMOTHY, h. May 22, 1730; m. Hannah Hyde; lived in Hartford.

190. Abigail, h. Sept.' 27, 1732; m. Nov. 23, 1755, Capt. James Cald-

well of Hartford.

191. Anne, b. Sept. 27, 1735; m. Feb. 26, 1753, Jonathan Olcott of

Hartford ; she d. Sept. 6, 1807.

192. Martha, b. Nov. 22, 1737; m. May 22, 1768, Dr. Samuel Flagg of

P^ast Hartford.

193. tJ<^>"Ni ''• Nov. 20, 1739 ; m. Hannah Wadsworth ; lived in Hartford.

194. James, b. 1741; d. in Barbadoes in the West Indies, 1774, aged 33

years. He was a physician and left quite a property. Letters
of administration were given to his brother John, Feb. 22, 1775,
but after the death of John the estate was settled by Capt.
James Caldwell and Dr. Samuel Flagg, as per appointment,
Sept. 9, 1782.

15-64. Jonathan Bigelow of Hartford, sou of Jonathan
and Mabel (Edwards) Bigelow, was born in Hartford, and was
bapt. at the First Church, June 27, 1714. He married Tabitha

, but we find no date of marriage. He died in Hartford

(as per inscription on gravestone in the old cemetery at Hart-
ford), Jan. 25, 1779, in the 59th year of his age, but we find on

GENEALOGY. 47

the records of the First Church at Hartford that Jonathan Bige-
low died Jan. 25, 1779, aged 65 years. A private family record
says that Jonathan died Jan. 23, 1770. His widow Tabitha
died in Hartford, Sept. 17, 1785, aged 70 years. His will,
dated June 5, 1778, and proved March 17, 1779, mentions wife
Tabitha, son Jonathan, and mentions six daughters, without
ixivintr their names. His widow Tabitha and son Jonathan were
appointed executors. On the death of Mrs. Tabitha Bigelow,
Jonathan was appointed administrator of her estate Oct. 12,
1785. Owing to the meagre records of those days we are unable
to give a full record of his family, but we give the following :

rjo. Jonathan (as mentioned in will). He is supposed to have m.
and to h.ive had a family. We find by the records of the First
Church that Jonathan Bigclow's wife d. March 6, 1795, aged 87
years, and that a child of Jonathan Bigelow d. Sept. 20, 1793;
but we have no further record of his family.

196. Thomas ; d. (as per inscription on gravestone) Oct. 5, 17G7, in his

31st year.

197. A child; d. (as per Church llecords) Sept. 19, 1755.
Six daughters, mentioned in father's will.

17-67. John Bigelow of Hanover, N. J., sou of John and
Abigail (Richards) Bigelow, was born in Hanover, N. J., about

1720, and married Elizabeth . Concerning this family

we have but little beyond tliese few facts. He lived in Hanover
and died there Feb., 1773 ; his widow Elizabeth receiving letters
of administration on his estate March 3, 1773. They had a
large family, but we have no dates (with one exception) of the
birth of their children, but the following are the names :

198. Aaron, b. in Hanover; was never m., and was a Captaiu in the

New Jersey militia in the Kevolntionary War, and subsequently
a Lieut, in "The Western Battalion Continental Army," anil
afterwards emigrated to Ohio, where he d. about 1800, and his
estate was inherited by his brothers and sisters in New Jersey.

199. John, b. in Hanover; m. Hannah ; lived in Hanover. We

have nothing further concei'ning this family.

200. fTiMOTiiY, b. in Hanover, Nov. 21, 17fi3; to. Hannah Meeker.

201. Ursula, b. in Hanover; in. Milton Stockman, and lived in Orange,

Essex Co., N. J.

23-70. Joseph Bigelow of Hartford, son of Joseph and
Sarah (Spencer) Bigelow, was born in Hartford, Aug. 14, 1717,

48 THE BIGELOW FAMILY.

and married, but we find no mention of his wife's name. On the
records of the First Church we find "the wife of Joseph Bigelow
died June 15, 1790, aged 71 years." Joseph Bigelow and his
mother, Sarah Bigelow, were appointed executors of his father's
estate Feb. 19, 1732. We find a distribution of the estate of
Joseph Bigelow was ordered Feb. 5, 1788, consisting of lands in
Colebrook, Conn., but the record of this family like most of the
Hartford families is very incomplete. There were four children :

206. A DAUGHTER of Joseph Bigelow d. Oct. 6, 1758.

207. Elisha ; was living 1772.

208. Joseph ; was living 1772.

209. Mary ; was living 1772.

23-73. Elisha Bigelow of Hartford, son of Joseph and
Sarah (Speucer) Bigelow, was born in Hartford, June 27, 1723,
and married Hannah Nichols, who was probably a daughter of
Capt. Cyprian Nichols of Hartford. We find on the land
records, that Elisha Bigelow and Hannah Nichols sold land (that
formerly belonged to her father, Capt. Cyprian Nichols), in 1785.
He died in Hartford, June 24, 1796, aged 73 years, according to
the church records. His wife died Sept. 28, 1795, aged 75
years. And from the same church records we gather the bap-
tisms of the family of Elisha Bigelow.

210. James; bapt. May 8, 1748; probably in. We find on the church

records that an infant child of James Bigelow d. Nov. 19, 1787.

23-74. JosiAH Bigelow of Hartford, son of Joseph and
Sarah (Spencer) Bigelow, was born in Hartford, Jan. 3, 1726,

and married Elizabeth , of which we have no date. He

died May 16, 1754, and in his will he mentions his wife Elizabeth
and possible child, and about 18 months later his widow was
appointed guardian of Mary, her daugliter, aged 15 months.

222. Mary, b. 1754 ; a postlmmous child.

24-78. Daniel Bigelow of Hartford, son of Daniel and
Hannah (Bidwell) Bigelow, was born in Hartford, 1724, and

GENEALOGY. 49

married Abigail , aud she died Nov. 14, 1757, aged 31

years. He married second, Feb. 19, 1761, Elizabeth Butler,
and we find on the church records that the "Wife of Daniel
Bigelow died Nov. 7, 1781, aged 43 years." We also find from
the church records the following baptisms and deaths :

223. K.vchel; d. Feb. 8, 1750.

224. Daniel; hapC. Sept. 3, 1749.

225. Abigail; bapt. Nov: 25, 1750.

35-112. Jason Bigelow of Brookfield, Mass., son of Samuel
and Mary (Gleason) Biglow, was born in Marlborough, Mass.,
April 11, 1718, and married, Jan. 27, 1748, Abigail Witt
(daughter of Samuel Witt of Marlborough, who for twenty-
three years represented Marlborough in the General Court and
was generally known as ^'•Deputy"). She was born in Marl-
borough, Aug. 3, 1721, and died in Brookfield, Oct. 13, 1808.
He died in Brookfield, March 25, 1767. He early went to Brook-
field, previous to 1748, and was a petitioner in December of that
year for the incorporation of the " Second Precinct" or North
Parish in Brookfield, and was an active and efficient officer in it
for many years, was Deacon of that parish, now the First Con-
gregational Society of North Brookfield, and was one of the
leading citizens in that parish ; was a farmer, and the farm on
which he settled still remains in the family. The farm was
deeded to him in 1737, and passed to Jason, Jr., thence to John,
son of Jason, Jr., and thence to Silas H. Bigelow, the present
owner. The greater part of the present house was built in May,
1794, and a part we have reason to believe is considerably older.
The farm is situated in the western part of what is now the
town of North Brookfield, and the locality has been termed for

He was brought up in Waltham, in which town he became very
prominent, being one of the Selectmen of Waltham in the
years 1757 to 1762, and 1767, and was highly respected. He
married, Dec. 14, 1738, Susanna Mead, daughter of David and
Hannah (Smith) Mead of Lexington ; she was born in that town
Aug. 1, 1719. We tave no date of the death of either of these
two, but from his will we infer that she died first and probably
in Waltham. We find his will among the probate records at
Worcester, dated June 2, 1794, at Waltham, and we infer that he
died somewhere in Worcester County, perhaps New Braintree,
with his son Abijah, who was living in that town at the time the
will was proved, March 3, 1801. He mentions sons Jacob,
Samuel and Abijah, daughters Mary Stearns, Susanna Browne,
Sarah Gushing and Abigail Flagg, granddaughter Sukey, daughter

64 THE BIGELOW FAMILY.

41-126. Isaac Bigelow of Colchester, Conn., son of Isaac
and Mary (Bond) Bigelow, was born in Colchester, May 4, 1713,
and married, March 14, 1734, Abigail Skinner of Colchester,
and lived in that town until about 1762, when in company with
about one hundred and fifty others from Connecticut and vicini-
ty they emigrated to Nova Scotia, where they settled the Town
of Cornwallis. After a few years he, in company with a part of
his family (leaving his son Amasa and three daughters, who
were married, in Cornwallis), returned to the States, and tradi-
tion says that he lived for a time in southern Vermont, and from
the Registry of Deeds at Keene, N. H., we find that March 29,
1792, Isaac Bigelow took a life lease from Samuel Works of
Westmoreland, of a part of a house with the use of a "yard north
of the house" and one-half of the " old garden," the same being
let to "Isaac Bigelow and Abigail his wife," and the said Works
bound himself to find firewood summer and winter. This house
and land were located in Chesterfield, N. H. Tradition further
says that while on a visit to his son Addi in Barre, Vt., he died
very suddenly, and was buried in that town, it also says that
he left considerable property in Nova Scotia ; a search in the
town records at Barre, Vt., fails to disclose any mention of his
death, but as our ancient records were in many instances very
incomplete it would not disprove the tradition concerning his
death, and we are unable to find any trace of his wife later than
1792. Their children were born in Colchester :

384. Abigail, h. Jan. 1, 1735; m. March 24, 1755, Daniel Pratt of Col-

chester; they lived in that town, where they had :

Avho was h. Dec. 30, 1743, and was a son of Jonathan Longfel-
low. They lived in Cornwallis a few years. Ills father was
engaged in niereantile business in Machias, Me., but his father
dying lie came to Machias to continue the l)usiness, and in 1778
he sent for his wife and family to join him, they being at Corn-
wallis and the war prevented him from going after them. She
started with her six boys, the oldest being 12 and the youngest 1
year old, in an open boat from Cornwallis and went to St. John,
N. B., where they were taken prisoners and kept in the fort.
She was allowed small rations Avhich she refused, thinking she
could sooner obtain her release, and worked for the soldiers,
earning all she could, and her oldest boy got a quart of milk
every night and morning to pay for milking the cow for one of
the officers; she used to say that they just saved themselves
from starvation. After about live or six weeks an officer gave
her to understand that if she was missing some morning, l)ut
little search would be made for her; she accordingly hired
a man to take her and her six children to Machias in an open
boat, starting from there in the night, and in due time arrived
at Machias. She was a woman of great courage and firmness
of mind, very strong in her religious views and puritanical in
her ideas. She united with the First Chui'ch in Machias in
1796, and continued a member until her death, Jan. 29, 1842.

43-13G. Joshua Bigelow of "Worcester, Mass., son of Joshua
and Hannah (Fiske) BigelOw, was born in Watertowu, Feb. 5,
1702, and married, Jan. 23, 1725, Lydia Hastings of Weston.
They lived for many years in Weston, and about 1745 they
moved to Worcester where he bought 75 acres of land of Samuel
Andrews, the father-in-law of Col. Timothy Bigelow. 1749 he
bought another tract of land adjoining him, which together made
a farm of three hundred acres. On Jan. 30, 1750, Mr. Bigelow
met with a grievous misfortune, his house being destroyed by
fire and his son Uavid and daughter Lydia being burned to death.
He lived for many years in Worcester and became a leading
man, was representative to the General Court 1768 to 1774, was
one of the Selectmen 1747, 1767 to 1773, 1775, 1778, but in
later years he lived a retired life, and his son was appointed his
guardian, Sept., 1788 ; he died 1792. His will, dated Oct. 23,
1787, mentions sons William, Thaddeus and Asa, daughters Anna
and Esther Moore, and grandson William Moore. His son Asa
was appointed executor of his will. After his death a large
part of the home place became the property of his son Thaddeus,
who in a few years sold the place and removed to Rutland,
Mass. Their family with the exception of the youngest were
born in Weston and were :

415. t William, b. April 10, 1727 ; m. Margaret Gates ; removed to Athol.

43-138. Nathaniel Bigelow of Weston and Framingham,
Mass., the second son of Joshua and Hannah (Fiske) Bigelow,
was born in Watertowu, June 17, 1707, and married in Newton,
Nov. 22, 1733, Hannah Robinson, daughter of William and
Elizabeth Robinson, and sister to Thankful Robinson (who mar-
ried Joseph Biglow of Weston as his second wife) ; she was born
in Newton, Sept. 11, 1709, and died in Framingham, Feb. 23,
1773. They lived in Weston for many years and then moved to
Framingham previous to 1766 and bought the farm known as
the John Whitney place, consisting of 76 acres. April 1, 1783,

he leased the farm to Levi Metcalf, his son-in-law, for the sum
of £500 silver money, for the term of 907 years, said Metcalf to
pay him or his heirs annually on the 25th of March one barley
corn. He and his wife Hannah were admitted to the church by
letter from Weston in 1767, and was elected Tithingman 1769,
and Overseer of the Poor in 1770. He married for a second
wife, Mary, widow of Nath. Stacy. We have no account of the
death of either Nathaniel or his last wife. Children :

4a-141. John Bigelow of Westford, the third son of Joshua
and Hannah (Fiske) Bigelow, was boru in Weston, Mass., June
24, 1715, and married in Sudbury, Grace Allen, Nov. 29, 1739.
He appears to have been of a roving disposition, as we find
that he lived a few years in Weston where his first five children
were recorded ; tradition says he then lived in Stow a few years
where he had one child born and perhaps others, but the records
in Stow are silent. In 1752 he appears in Acton where he had
four children recorded as born in that town between the years
1752 and 1760. In 1762 we find in Westford Records that
John Bigelo and wife Grace Bigelo and children Lucy, Beulah,
Sarah, Silas, Simeon, Molly, Grace and Eunice were warned out
of town, and that they came last from Acton. He appears to
have been a member of Capt. Samuel Davis's company, 1757.
It is probable that he did not leave Westford upon warning.
We find he and his son Silas moved from Westford to New
Ipswich, N. H., in 1787, and tradition says that he died in
New Ipswich. Their children were (so far as we can learn) as
follows :

430. Lucy, b. May 27, 1740; m. 1766, Joseph Button, Jr., of Westford,

and had a family of six children.

Weston, June 14, 1730, Mary Snow of Lancaster, and lived in
that town for a number of years, where they had several children
born, and where they were living in 1746. We find July 13,
1751, that Jonathan and wife Mary sold a tract of land to John
Farwell of Harvard, and that they were then residents of Har-
vard. Children :

44-145. Benjamin Bigelow of Weston, Mass., and Fitz-
william, N. H., the second son of Jonathan and Elizabeth
(Bemis) Bigelow, was born in Watertown, Dec. 3, 1709, and
married, April 11, 1734, Mindwell Coolidge ; she died Feb. 1,
1735, and he married second, in Weston, Oct. 16, 1735, Love
Wood. They lived in Weston until about 1743, when the record
ceases to mention them, but in 1754 we find he appears in Lunen-
burg where his wife died June 18, 1754, and he married third,
in Lunenburg, Elizabeth Colman, Oct. 31, 1754, and the year
following the record ceases to mention them in Lunenburg.
Tradition says that they moved to Fitzwilliara, N. H. (then
known as Monadnock No. 4), in the spring of 1762, and that
they were the first settlers of that town, and tradition also says
that his daughter Beulah was the first child born in that town,
and that she was born under a cart body, he not having got the
new house ready for occupancy. He is said to have been one
of the original members of the church in Fitzwilliam, which

70 THE BIGELOW FAMILY.

was organized March 27, 1771, and a tradition says that he was
chosen one of the first deacons of the church, but the church
records do not show it. On May 3, 1771, he started to go to
mill in Winchester, N. H., several miles distant, with a bag of
rye on his shoulder, and was drowned while crossing the Ashue-
lot river at Winchester. His widow joined the church in Fitz-
william by letter from the church in Lunenburg, Sept. 22, 1771.
She is said to have left town and returned to Massachusetts
later, but if so, she did not take a dismissal from the church in
Fitzwilliam. Of the family of Benjamin Bigelow we have but
a meagre account — the following is the best we can find :

447. Benjamin, ft. Jan. 25, 1735; d. Jan. 28, 1785.

the fifth child and third son of Jonathan and P^lizabeth (Bemis)

concerning his early life, but find that he lived in Worcester
where he had one child recorded, and that his wife's name was

Sarah . We place as one of his children James Bigelow

of Templeton, Mass., although we are by no means certain that
he belongs to this family. Family tradition says he was born

married Dec. 13, 1737, he being 17 and she being 16 years of
age, and they went to live with his father." He died Oct. 9,
1754, at the age of 34. Two of his children having died a few
days previous and his mother just four days after. His widow
Dorothy married for her second husband, Oct. 12, 1762, Isaac
Day and had three sons, Charles, Daniel and John. Mr. Day
died in 1765 and she married third a Mr. Langrell, whom she
outlived and died Oct. 20, 1794. Children :

50-154. Joseph Bigelow of Weston, Mass., son of Joseph
Bigelow of Weston. Concerning this family we have no record
of the birth of Joseph, Jr., or where his native place was, but
from the records we find that he married in Weston, May 6,
1747, Lydia Warren; she died April 5, 1751 ; from the records
at Sherborn we find that he married a second time, April
2, 1752, Mercy Pratt of Newton, their intention of marriage
having been published in Weston, Oct. 25, 1751, she died
Feb. 3, 1754; he married third, Olive Pratt, their intention of
marriage being entered Feb. 14, 1756.

We find by the Records of Deeds at Cambridge that Joseph,
Jr., bought land of his father, Joseph Bigelow, that was located
in Weston, June 6, 1753, and sold the same to Jona. Stimpson
June 7, 1756. He sold a saddler's shop in Watertown to Moses
Bigelow, June 17, 1754, and again, Sept. 2, 1756, he sold a
tract of land to Oliver Pratt of Newton ; again, May 30, 1755,
he bought of his father one-half of the home farm with one-half
of the buildings, and we find no further mention of him. His
father's will, dated April 15, 1758, speaks of son Joseph late of
Weston, and thus we infer that he had either died or left town.
His children were born in Weston :

491. Sauau, b. Oct. 16, 1747; d. Oct. 10, 1748.

492. Roger, b. Oct. 31, 1748; d. April 22, 1751.

493. Sakah, b. Feb. 11, 1750 ; she was living in 1758, as her grandfather

left her property which was his before he married his last wife,
Thankful.

494. tRoGER, b. Nov. 17, 1752; to. Mary Child; lived in Winchendon.

495. IElias, b. Jan. 24, 1754 ; m. Abigail Myrick ; lived in Sterling.

50-155. Uriah Bigelow of Bolton, Mass. We suppose him
to be the son of Joseph Bigelow, although there is but little to
prove his relation. The first mention we find of him is the
intention of marriage at Weston between Uriah Bigelow of

Weston and Abigail Pierce of Stow, which was entered Nov.

74 THE BIGELOW FAMILY.

27, 1748, and later we find them living in Bolton, where there is
one child recorded ; and from the Registry of Deeds we learn
that they sold to their Uncle Eben'r Sampson of Concord their
interest in the thirds of their grandmother Sarah Sampson of
Concord and wife of Ebenezer Sampson of Concord, Nov. 18,
1749. He died in Stow, Oct. 3, 1760. Under date of Oct. 4,
1763, we find on Harvard Records that Joseph Kneeland of
Harvard and Abigail Biglow of Stow were married in Harvard,
and by the records at Winchendon we find under date of Jan. 4,
1765, the following:

" To Richard Day Constable.

"You are in his Majesty's name required forthwith to notify
and warn Joseph Kneeland and Abigail his wife, Joseph Knee-
land jr. his son, and Sarah Pierce Bigelow and Elizabeth Bige-
lovv her daughters who came last from Harvard & Hannah their
daughter who was bound at Fitchburg, all to depart and leave
the town forthwith, or suffer the penalties of the law in such
cases made and provided."

The children of Uriah and Abigail, as far as we can learn,

were as follows :

496. Abigail, b. iu Bolton, Jan. 30, 1750.

497. fKoGER, b. in Sudbury ; m. Elizabeth Russell.

498. Sarah Pierce.

499. Elizabeth, b. in Stow, Oct. 19, 1759.

51-157. Daniel Bigelow of "Worcester, Mass., the eldest
son of Daniel and Elizabeth (Whitney) Bigelow, was born in
Worcester, Jan. 4, 1729, and married, Nov. 21, 1751, Mary
Bond; she died and he married second. May 22-, 1771, Mary
Ballard of Lancaster. He probably died about 1776, as an
inventory of his estate was taken Oct. 10, 1776, which amounted
to £755. His widow married, April 28, 1786, Hon. Samuel
Baker, of Berlin, Mass. The children of Daniel were born in
Worcester :

500. IDaniel, 5. April 27, 1752; m. Anna Johnson.

501. Mary, b. April 17, 1755 ; m. June 7, 1778, Elisha Clark of Worcester.

504. Sophia, b. Dec. 12, 1773.

505. fAuGUSTUs, b. Jan. 28, 1776 ; m. Betsy Spafford of Berlin.

51-158. David Bigelow of Worcester, Mass., the second
son of Daniel and Elizabeth (Whitney) Bigelow, was born in
Worcester, Sept. 19, 1730, and married. May 21, 1752, Sarah

GENEALOGY. 75

Eaton, who died Oct. 22, 1761. He married second, March 8,
1764, Deborah Heywood, who died his widow, May 23, 1822.
Tliey lived in the northeast part of the town on the old road to
Boylston. He was a carpenter by trade, and when a young man
he fell from the roof of a barn on which he was at work and broke
his ankle in a shocking manner, the bone protruding through the
flesh into the ground, and so serious was the injury, a Dr.
Marsh (who was an eminent surgeon living in Connecticut) was
hastily summoned, and performed a skilful surgical operation,
and with good care he recovered, though a cripple the remainder
of his life. He was a very decided and influential whig through-
out the Revolution, and though disabled for military service, he
performed much laborious and important work in a civil capacity.
During that eventful period he was a very prominent member of
the Committee of Safety of the town of Worcester, which was a
centre of the royal influences of the county in the persons of the
office holders, and, as is well known, the Committee of Safety
were vested with and exercised many of the powers of govern-
ment respecting personal liberty and conduct, and at times their
labors and duties became highly critical, laborious and responsi-
ble. He was elected one of the Selectmen in 1776, 1777, 1779,
1780, 1783, 1784, and representative to the General Court
in 1777, and also a member of the Convention to ratify the
Constitution of the United States, and while there he voted with
the large minority on the final question of acceptance. Although
his vote did not satisfy all his friends at that time, they in after
life (when they learned that his main reason for so doing was
because of the provision giving the owner of slaves three votes
for every five slaves owned by him), came to honor him for so
doing. He was deacon of the First Unitarian Church from the
settlement of Dr. Bancroft, until his death. May 10, 1810.
Though always in straitened circumstances he brought up a
large family of children under the influences of his own example
of great purity of speech, manners and life, and it can be truly
said that he lived the life of a patriot and a christian. Their
children were :

50G. tl^AviD, h. April 4, 1753 ; m. Hannah Wellington.

507. Sarah, b. Aug. 15, 1755; w. June 22, 1775, .Joshua Harrington;

51-161. Col. Timothy Bigelow of Worcester, Mass., the
fifth child and son of Daniel and Elizabetli (Whitney) Bigelow
of Worcester, was born in that town Aug. 2, 1739, and married,
July 1, 1762, Anna Andrews, daughter of Samuel and Anna
(Rankin) Andrews ; she was born in Worcester, April 11, 1747,
and at the time of her marriage was an orphan and heiress to a
considerable fortune. Her mother was the youngest daughter
of James and Rachel Rankin, who emigrated from Ireland with
the Scotch Presbyterians of 1718, and her father established a
tannery near Lincoln Square, and built the old Bigelow Mansion
opposite the Court House. Col. Timothy Bigelow early com-
menced life by being apprenticed to the blacksmith trade, and
afterwards carried on the business, and soon ranked as one of
the most energetic and prosperous of the young men in Worces-
ter. Endowed by nature with keen observation and a desire to
possess the advantages of education, he worked ardently to sup-
ply the want, and soon became acquainted with some of the best
English works, and early gained the art of writing and speaking
with directness and accuracy. These acquirements were des-
tined to be soon called into full exercise by the rapid approach

GENEALOGY. 77

of the clouds of revolution, which were spreading themselves
over the colonies, and by his ability to debate, he was early
placed in a prominent position among the whigs of the town.
At this time the best educated and most influential of the citizens
were adherents of the king, and decided tories. And it will be
seen that it required far more than ordinary courage for men to
openly espouse the cause of the colonists, but he was not to be
deterred. Early in March, 1773, we find him a member of the
iQcal Committee of Correspondence, and in December following,
he organized the "Political Society," and meetings of these
bodies were often held in his dwelling, and it was in these
bodies that measures were concocted in secret which broke the
control of the tories in the town. At the meeting of the citizens
in 1774, the adoption of the bold (and then treasonable) resolu-
tions was due to the vigorous and able support of Mr. Bigelow,
and from that day the " Sons of Liberty" were victorious in a
town where toryism had its strongest hold. As a member of
the " Whig Club " in Boston, he became an associate of Warren,
Otis and other prominent men of those times. He was a dele-
gate to the Provincial Congress during the first and second ses-
sions, and upon the organization of the Minute Men in Worces-
ter, he was chosen their commander by a unanimous vote, and by
his unceasing instruction, his company became one of the best
drilled companies in the service, and at the first review at Cam-
bridge Gen. Washington is said to have used the expression,
"This is discipline, indeed." On the memorable 19th of April
he marched with his company to the scene of action, arriving in
Cambridge the day following, he immediately reported for ser-
vice, and soon after received from Congress a commission as
Major. In the September following he volunteered in the
famous expedition to Quebec, under Benedict Arnold, going by
way of the Kennebec river through the wilderness. It was on
this expedition that Major Bigelow was ordered by Gen. Arnold
to ascend a mountain near the head waters of the Kennebec, in
order to make observations, and with a few men in attendance,
they are said to have been the first white men to ascend the
mountain, which has since been known as Mt. Bigelow. He
participated in the hardships of that ill fated expedition, and on
the night of Dec. 31st, in the assault on the city, he was taken
prisoner with many others.

78 THE BIGELOW FAMILY.

The following is a copy of a letter to his wife written while on
the march :

"October 25th, 1775.

" Ou that part of the Keunybeck called the Dead River, 95
miles above Norridgewock.

"Dear Wife. I am at this time well, but in a dangerous situa-
tion, as is the whole detachment of the Continental Army with
me. We are in a wilderness nearly one hundred miles from any
inhabitants, either French or English, and but about five days
provisions ou an average for the whole. We are this day sending
back the most feeble and some that are sick. If the French are
our enemies it will go hard with us, for we have no retreat left.
In that case there will be no other alternative between the sword
and famine. May God in his infinite mercy protect you, my
more than ever dear wife, and my dear children.

"Adieu, and ever believe me to be your most affectionate
husband.

"TiMO. Bigelow."

They were kept prisoners until the following August, when
they were taken to New York, where an exchange was eft"ected
and he returned to his home, but soon re-entered the service
with the rank of Lieut. -Col. On Feb. 8, 1777, he was commis-
sioned Col. of the 15th Regt. of the Mass. line in the Continen-
tal Army. He, with his regiment, was with Gen. Gates at the
surrender of Burgoyne, at Saratoga, and afterwards in the Rliode
Island Expedition, at Verplanck's Point, Peekskill, Valley Forge,
and West Point ; he remained in the field until the close of the
war, and his reputation for intrepidity and discipline was main-
tained throughout ; after the army was disbanded he was
stationed for a time at West Point, later was assigned to the
command of the national arsenal at Springfield, and later he left
the service to return to his family ; leaving with the reputation
of a meritorious officer and a much depleted purse, owing to
irregular payments and the depreciated currency of that time,
witli his health impaired by the hardships and exposures of
eight years' active service in behalf of his country. He returned
to find his property seriously diminished by the many sacrifices
of his martial service. With a resolute spirit he set to work to
repair his shattered fortune, and resumed, his old occupation of
a blacksmith, but times had changed, as also he himself, hard
money had ceased to circulate, and a depreciated currency was

GENEALOGY. 79

in its place ; credit existed only in name, and eight years of
exciting service in field and camp, together with the long disuse
of his old avocation, had produced an inaptitude for business,
a condition of which, parties, who should have been sincere
friends, but in their desire to gain in their worldly possessions,
were not slow in taking advantage of for their own benefit and
to his injury.

With others he obtained a grant of land in Vermont consist-
ing of a township of 23,040 acres, Oct. 21, 1780, upon which
was founded the town of Montpelier, but he never went to live
upon the grant. In 1787 his son Andrew fell a victim to quick
consumption which affliction, together with his business reverses,
tended to depress his energy and cast a gloom over his mind.
Through the machinations of false friends, who owed much to
his patriotism of former days, he found himself tangled in debt,
unable to extricate himself, or satisfy their shylock demands, and
to their shame and disgrace he was thrown into jail, where, over-
whelmed by his adverse circumstances, he died March 31, 1790.
His widow died at Groton, Mass., July 9, 1809.

He was of fine personal appearance, over six feet in height,

his bearing erect and martial. He possessed a vigorous intellect,

ardent temperament, and a warm and generous heart. His

children were born in Worcester, and were :

\517. Nancy, h. Jan. 2, 1765 ; m. Jan. 7, 1784, Hon. Abraham Lincoln of

Weston, Jan. 23, 1721, and married in Lancaster, Oct. or Nov.,
1746, Anna Harris of Lancaster, who died Aug. 25, 1748, aged
29 years, 2 months, 27 days. He married second, Dec, 1748,
Hepsibeh Duforc of Lancaster. He was a soldier in the French
and Indian War, and died on an expedition to Canada between
the year 1755 and the latter part of 1757. An inventory of his
estate was taken Dec. 6, 1758, which amounted to £72-6-7, and
his widow was appointed to administer to his estate. In her
account, rendered June 24, 1766, she mentions one child that
was living. The following we find on the Lancaster Records ;
perhaps there were others not recorded :

523. Ebenezer, b. Oct. 4, 1747; " died the 13th of the year 1748."

His will, dated May 13, 1780, and proved June 5, 1780, mentions
l>rother David Dnfore at Swanzey and wife Sarah, and appointed
Capt. Solomon Jewett executor. An inventory of his estate
amounted to £5,026-19-2.

52-166. Moses Bigelow of Watertown, Mass., the fourth
child and the third son of Ebenezer and Hannah (Browne) Bige-
low, was baptized May 3, 1730, and married, June 15, 1756,
Mary Hammond, daughter of Ebenezer and Mary (Garfield)
Hammond of Newton ; she was born April 1, 1739. They lived
at one time in Watertown. Joseph Bigelow, Jr., sold a sad-
dler's shop in Watertown to Moses Bigelow, June 17, 1754, and
afterwards, April 12, 1756, Moses Bigelow sold the same to
Thomas Pottin, saddler. We find the baptisms of four of his
children, but further record is lost and we are not able to deter-
mine what became of the family :

526. Mary; bapt. May 14, 1758; probably m. July 12, 1779, Benjamin

Mills of Newton, and lived in Needham; shed, in 'Newton, Jan.

Shcpard of Newton. (?)

52-167. HoPESTiLL Bigelow, son of Ebenezer and Hannah
(Browne) Bigelow, was baptized June 6, 1731. He early be-
came a Baptist preacher and was in the town of Tyringham,
Mass., some years previous to 1759, and in that year moved to
Skeensborough, N. Y., where he became pastor of a church.

GENEALOGY. 81

As regards his marriage we have somewhat conflicting accounts,
from one account we are informed that he married Esther Bene-
dict of Danbury, Conn., and from another we learn tliat he
married a Miss Umpsted (Ohnsted) , but as we are unable to find
out the correct statement from the public records, we would add
at this time a copy of a letter written by Hopestill Bigelow
(a grandson of the Hopestill in question) to his son Artemas
in the year 1833, which not only gives an account of the family,
but a very interesting account of the hardships and sufferings
that they endured in the cause of independence :

''Mr Son.

"That you may not be ignorant of the patriotism and character
of your forefathers and the value I place thereou, I send you
the following information : At the brealving out of the revolu-
tionary war, your two great-grandfathers, Hopestill Bigelow and
Aaron Fuller, lived in Whitehall, N. Y., then called Skeenes-
borough. Of my remote ancestors I have no definite knowledge.
My great-grandfather had ten sons and two daughters, of whom
I only know the names of Ebenezer, Joshua, Samuel, Hopestill
and Benorah, and also Silauce. Hopestill had three sons,
Samuel, Ebenezer and Thomas, and three daughters, Hannah,
Nabby and Esther. Samuel had six sons, Hopestill, Niram,
John Whitlock, Samuel Liscom, James and Asa Barney, and
four daughters, Mary, Elizabeth, Tyla, and Roxina. All that I
know of my grandmother Bigelow is that she was an Umpsted.
Of my mother's pedigree I know nothing beyond her own family.
My grandfather, Hopestill Bigelow, was a Baptist preacher and
lived in No. One, now Tyringham, Mass. In 1759 he removed
to Skenesborough at the head of Lake Champlain, N. Y., now
known as Whitehall. It was called by its former name from a
wealthy Englishman who moved from Canada and settled there.
At this place grandfather became the pastor of a church.
Adjoining him lived Aaron Fuller, a Justice of the Peace, a very
noted man in public business in that region. At the beginning
of the revolutionary war he was appointed Quartermaster and
public Storekeeper. At the 'Falls' (so called by the falling of
Wood and White creeks about twenty feet into the Lake) was
Major Skeens' borough or plantation, which he left in charge of
a son and a daughter and went to Canada to join the English.
Soon after the son and daughter also went to Canada, leaving
the farm, stock and everything, even the body of their own
mother in the cellar of the house enclosed in a leaden Coffin
which the Major had kept unburied for several years for the
sake of an income. The property thus being left without pro-
tection and belonging to an enemy, grandfather Fuller was

ordered to confiscate it for the use of the army. When Skeene
heard of it he offered 1000 crowns for Esq Fuller's scalp. The
liberal bounty made it very dangerous for him to attend to busi-
ness, as the tories and Indians were numerous and on the look-
out for him. He was therefore obliged to ride in the night, and
in the daytime hide in a cave in the edge of a dense swamp.
Well do I remember when I was a small boy of my mother lead-
ing me and two older sisters to the cave, and telling us the
story till the hair of my head would seem to stand erect and
every rustle of a leaf would appear to be the step of an indian
or a tory. I have suffered more thereby, and fireside war tales,
than years afterward by the roar of cannon, the rattle of small
arms, the beat of the muflled drum, the groans of the wounded,
the sting of the bullet, and the flow of blood in the war of 1812.
But to return. Not caring to leave the cave by day his food
was stealthily carried to him, but at night he would put on his
wife's long scarlet cloak and her bonnet (well do I remember
the cloak) and mount his horse. If likely to meet any one he
would fling his legs both to one side, pass on as quickly as possi-
ble, then with a leg a side put spurs to and haste away to buy
supplies for the army.

' ' He had a son about the age of my father, then fourteen and
a daughter about twelve, whom my father afterwards married,
and whom I shall now call mother. The boys had both entered
the army, my mother was left at home to take charge of her
father's affairs. She was now the only dependence for all out-
side work, and was a stout rugged girl. Adapting herself to her
business, she laid aside her own dress, and adopting her brothers'
she foddered the cattle, yoked and hitched the oxen to the sled,
then she drove to the woods, chopped down trees, cut them into
proper lengths, loaded and drew them home, where she prepared
the wood for the fireplace. Thus she did all necessary work
during the winter, the bounty for her father s life standing good,
the family was all the while kept in a frightful expectation that
the house might be set on fire at night in hope of getting him.
During the next summer and fall grandmother Fuller would send
the children to the woods at night with blankets. After spread-
ing one on the ground my mother would sit in the middle of it
and gather the rest around her (I think there were five of them) ,
then spreading another blanket over them, she sitting up would
keep them secure from suffocation and mosquitoes while they
slept. During this time grandmother, with a babe in her arms,
walked the house from side to side, looking out through her
peep holes between the logs to see if any destroyers were near.
She dared not have a fire or a light in the house, lest it would
attract attention and prevent her from seeing clearly if any one
outside were approaching. Because of some sudden fear or
alarm she often called up her children in the night and sent them

into the woods, and they were accustomed to go without a mur-
mur. Amid all this anxiety and excitement the news came that
the British were coming up the Lake. Men, women and children
were running from neighbor to neighbor inquiring what to do.
Finally it was agreed to meet at my grandfather Bigelow's, he
being the pastor. After consultation it was thought best to
move to Sandy Hill about twelve miles distant, and after prayers
and a blessing pronounced on the trembling group, they started
leaving their farms and all unnecessary property behind. The
alarm having blown over some returned, while others stayed,
among whom was my grandfather Bigelow, who occasionally
went up to see his farm, at wheat harvest, with his wife, babe
and my father, leaving his three daughters at home, the oldest
eleven, the youngest four years of age in the care of a family of
Prindles, distant relatives. Sandy Hill being a noted place and
quite a villiage, was looked upon as a place of safety. There-
fore many had resorted to it. During their absence for harvest-
ing the tories with some Indians made an assault, burned the
place and having robbed the houses and killed the cattle and
hogs fled to Canada. Grandfather Bigelow had five cows and six
hogs killed. The Prindles went with them leaving no trace of
the girls. Picture to yourself, if you can, the grief and sorrow
of my grandparents, when on their return from harvesting,
instead of joyfully embracing their daughters, they saw only the
ruins of their home and the embers still burning. After a dili-
gent search they concluded they were burned up in the house,
the shock was at first severe and painful almost beyond endur-
ance, but it gradually passed away and they assumed their
wonted cheerfulness. Thus three years passed by, when a mes-
senger rode up with a letter addressed to my grandfather. How
great was their surprise to find it to be from their long lost
children, then in the British camp in Canada. Although prepa-
rations were made to send for them, almost three months passed
when your grandfather Samuel Bigelow set out for them. After
six mouths more of negotiation and entreaty he safely i-eturned
with them to their father's and mother's arms. Strong and clear
is my remembrance when a small boy how I used to sit by the
winter's fireside, the blazing back log threw its weird bright light
and dancing shadows on the walls of the room, myself at my
mother's knees and my two older sisters on each side while her
busy foot was making the flax wheel hum, spinning for our
clothing, and father with his awl and thread, as was then com-
mon in evei-y house, to make shoes for our feet, and hear them
tell of the horrors of war, trembling as if it was a present reality,
and look up at the old long gun which father carried, and say to
myself, ' well father is a patriot and will fight.' You doubtless
think it would be impossible for a young girl of twelve to do at
this day the work your grandmother did at that age, but she was

84 THE BIGELOW FAMILY.

large and strong and with sparkling eye and cheerful heart ■svould
tell us of her work and sufferings, and rejoice that she could do
it, while her father and brother were battling for freedom.

" Now ray son, you can judge from the above why I shouldered
a gun and took the field in the late war with England, more
especially when you consider the patriotic spirit of your fore-
fathers, and I think by this time you begin to esteem more
highly the pure republican stock from which you have eminated,
for your grandfather Bates was a patriot, a soldier during the
whole war and fought at the taking of Burgoyne. The da^^ on
which you was born was a glorious one to our fathers and hence
I hope you will ever support the principles of the day of your
birth.

" HOPESTILL BiGELOW."

The writer of the above letter was a soldier in the War of
1812, and was twice wounded in the same battle. Of the children
of Rev. Hopestill Bigelow we have but a meagre account, and
from the best sources we can find, the following is the list :

o30. tSAMUEL, b. April 2, 1763; m. Elizabeth Fuller.

531. Hannah, probably h. 1766; she was 11 j^ears old at the time of

her capture by the Indians in 1777.

53-176. Jabez Bigelow of Lebanon, N. Y., the eldest son
of Gershom and Rachel (Gale) Biglow, was born in Weston,
Oct. 4, 1726, and early went to Connecticut, where he lived in
Colchester and Hebron, at the latter place he was married, Oct.
10, 1752, to Miss Susanna Elderkin of Hebron. After a short
residence in that town he sold his place and moved to Pittsfield,
Mass., where he bought seventy acres, in what is now the centre
of the town, and tradition says that he planted the large elm
that stood in the park. After a few years sojourn in Pittsfield
he sold his farm and moved to Lebanon, N. Y., where he bought
about 600 acres, and is said to have been the earliest settler
in that town. He died in that town Dec. 1, 1808. His farm
was divided equally between his three sons, the locality being
known as "Bigelow Flats," and a part of the farm is still occu-
pied by one of his descendants, David Bigelow. Their children
were :

536. Susanna, h. Dec. 8, 1753.

He was a prominent man in town and kept for many years the
old Bigelow Tavern, a well known hostelry in that section of
the State, which was torn down a few years since to give way to
more modern improvements. We have no record of his death,
but his will, dated Aug. 8, 1791, and proved Oct. 3, 1791,
would indicate that he was about 28 years of age when he died.
In his will he mentions wife Mary Ann, to whom he gave all of
his personal property, except wearing apparel, sleeve buttons,
shoe buckles, knee buckles and other ornaments, and the use of
the house and home place as long as she should remain his
widow. To his son, John Ingrahara, he gave all of his real
estate, except the above mentioned, he also gave him his wear-
iug apparel with watch, jewelry and other articles of personal
ornament, and appointed his brother Samuel and his personal
friend, George Phillips, executors. Samuel Bigelow was ap-
pointed guardian of John Ingraham Bigelow, May 22, 1795,
who received a portion from his grandfather's estate in 1794,

mates of our public correctional institutions, and her efforts in
behalf of the inmates of the insane asylums in Europe and the

United States. Her first move in behalf of these people was at
East Cambridge, Mass., where on a visit she found several
insane persons without proper treatment, in dark and damp
cells, and no provision for heating their cells ; she applied to
the jailer, who told her that they did not need it and it would be
unsafe. She appealed to higher authorities and finally obtained
what she desired. From there she went to Washington and
secured the co-operation of members of Congress, and got a bill
passed for the care of the insane in the District of Columbia.
She had now found the great work of her life, and from
this time until her death she devoted her time to the work
and travelled throughout the United States, in every State
visiting jails, almshouses, prisons and asylums, and when she
had made her investigations she would apply to the legislature
for assistance, and in nearly all the States she obtained legisla-
tive acts for their better improvement.

In 1854 she visited Europe, and actively worked in behalf of
the insane in nearly all the European countries. During the
Kebellion she was superintendent of hospital nurses. And to
use the words of James Freeman Clarke: "Her life shows
what may be done by simple concentration of mind, hand and
heart on one important object." " There is still another lesson
to be derived from the life of Miss Dix. The greatest things
are done by those who forget themselves in some one great
work, and so at last find joy in the work itself. They seek no
reward but the satisfaction of accomplishment " A friend
says in the Unitanan Bevieio : "I often recall the words she
said to me once in coming out of church, ' I am no enthusiast;
what I have done is only from a determined will, and because,'
said she, ' I think it is my duty.' "

672. John, b. Aug. 29, 1781 ; went west and was never heard from

673. James. Family tradition says that there was a son James who

was a merchant in Boston, a graduate of some college, who died
unmarried, and was buried in Boston, but a careful examina-
tion of records and the Boston directories of early date fails to
find mention of any James Biglow.

98-263. Solomon Biglow, son of Capt. Joseph and Martha
(Brigham) Biglow, was born in Shrewsbury, Mass., Oct. 13,
1746 ; married, April 6, 1769, Mary Damon (or Denman), and
died about 1775. His widow married second, Feb. 27, 1777,
William Small of Fitchburg. We find no record of any children
by her first husband.

99-269. John Bigelow of Cummington, Mass., son of
Capt. John and Rebecca (Howe) Bigelow, was born in Holden

about 1740, and married Mary . He probably moved

from Holden with his father about 1761, and went to Quabbin
(now Greenwicii), as we find that he bought land in Quabbin of
his father, June 5, 1764. We find him in Goshen in 1785, and
he died in Cummington, Oct. 19, 1807. His will, dated June
30, 1806, mentions daughters Prudence Bates, Mary Kingman,

and represented the town in the State legislature. During the
troubles between New York and Vermont in regard to jurisdic-
tion of the southern part of the State, he was prominently
identified, taking sides in behalf of New York. He was for
twenty years Judge of the Windham County Court, and a large
land owner in Guilford, and died Oct. 14, 1814. His will men-

102 THE BIGELOW FAMILY.

June 30, 1752, and married, about 1773, Sarah Stowellof Peters-
ham. He lived many years in Guilford, where he owned a
large farm near the centre of the town, and they had a large
family of children. He was honored with the title of Colonel
and was one of the substantial men of the town. During the
controversy between Vermont and New York concerniug the
jurisdiction of the southern part of Vermont he was quite promi-
nent, taking sides with New York, and was elected a mem-
ber of the Assembly in 1784 from Cumberland County, which
was the name given to the territory in dispute, and included
Guilford ; he was also commissioned as an Adjutant by the State
of New York about that time. Sarah, his wife, died in Guilford
about 1821. Soon after the death of his wife he removed to
Ellisburg, N. Y., to live with his son Jotham and died there,
1830. His children were born in Guilford :

he .married Sarah Culver, daughter of David Culver of Guil-
ford. They lived for many years in Guilford, and on March 10,
1800, he moved to Pompey, N. Y., where he bought 590 acres of
land of Samuel Beebe, and with his boys he proceeded to clear
up the land. In three years' time he had cleared 100 acres,
when he was taken down with the fever incident to the newly
settled country, and died Dec. 17, 1803. His death resulted
in the breaking up of the family, and about two years later bis

Brookfield, Mass., Jan. 5, 1745, and married in Hartford, Sept.
18, 1768, Mary Collyer. The record of this family is very
incomplete. From the church records in Hartford we find that
his wife died June 15, 1789, aged 44 years. He probably mar-
ried again, and moved from Hartford to Stratford, Conn., where
we find by inscriptions on gravestones that Benjamin Bigelow
died, Sept. 25, 1815, aged 70 years, and Catherine Bigelow
died, Aug. 1, 1821, aged 73 years. From the church records at
Hartford we find the following relating to his children :

bury, Mass. When very small his father moved to Springfield
and then to Hartford, Conn., where he lived several years.
About 1770 his father moved to Woi'thington, Mass., where he
died in 1773, and Edmund was appointed administrator of the
estate. He served in the Continental army as Paymaster and
was at Bennington and Ticonderoga. After the war he moved
to Middletown, Vt., where he was a leading man in the new
town, was Moderator of the first town meeting, Nov. 17, 1784,
was chosen the first Selectman, March 7, 1785, and was
chosen to that and other town offices for many years. He was

1814, when, having become infirm, the town settled a colleague
pastor. He died Sept. 12, 1816, at the age of 73, having lilled
the pastorate for over 40 years. He was greatly beloved by his
people, and in his last years he was granted an annuity. Hud-
son in his History of Sudbury says: "He was twice married.
His first wife was a sister of Dr. Heard of Concord. By this
marriage he had a daughter. He married for a second wife,
Mrs. Wells and had two sous." But we fail to find any mention
on the public records of more than one wife. We find on the
Lancaster Records, that Rev. Jacob Bigelow of Sudbury, and
Elizabeth Wells of Lancaster, were married Nov. 23, 1775, and
we find on the Town Records of Sudbury, that the following
were the children of Rev. Jacob Bigelow and wife Elizabeth :

1775, and served during a greater portion of the seven years

previously bought land of Sampson Howe, Sept. 7, 1764. He
sold a tract of land in Bernardston to Jona. Ashby of Deerfield,
July 10, 1769, and we find that he bought land in Greenfield the
same year, and again, April 1, 1771, we find he sold a tract of
laud in Bernardston, he being then of Bernardston, but a
thorough examination of the town and church records fail to
show anything regarding his family. He moved afterwards
to Williamstown, Mass., adopted the Shaker doctrine, and
lived for many years with the Tyringham family of Shakers,

and he probably moved to Acworth, as he was chosen Consta-
ble in that town 1772, and we find no further trace of him
there. Family tradition says that he went to western New
York State with some of his children and that he married a Mrs.

Wilson. The names of his children from the best we can learn

are as follows :

lORO. Jessk ; settled in Canada West.

1061. t>5EXAS; settled in western New York in Township 12, R. 1, in
1801.

145-453. Joel Bigelow, son of Benjamin and Love (Wood)
Bigelow, was born June 10, 1747. The place of birth we do
not find on record, but suppose it to be in Weston, Mass. He
married about 1775, Abigail Call (or McCall as the name was
originally spelled), daughter of James Call, born Jan. 14, 1757.
Rev. Andrew F. Bigelow in his sketch of the family, says :
"She was one of the first Methodists in Vermont, a model wife
and mother ; an intelligent, excellent woman. * * * James
Call was twice married, and had eighteen sons and four daugh-
ters," of whom "Joseph was famous for his great strength."
The McCall family is supposed to have been one of the Scotch-
Irish Presbyterian families that emigrated fi'om the North of
Ireland to New England in 1718-1725. Joel Bigelow settled
in Springfield, Vt., where he lived several years. He moved
to Salisbury, Vt., about 1791, where we find he gave a deed to
Abel Johnson, dated Jan. 16, 1793. From family tradition we
learn that he met with an accident which crippled him for life,
and was killed by being thrown from a horse, March, 1815.
She soon afterwards went to live with her son Levi, at Bowman-
ville, Ont., where she died May 2, 1849, aged 92 years. Their
children were :

1067. Hannah, b. in Springfield, Sept. 4, 1776; m. Dec. 16, 1801,
Timothy Evarts, son of Gilbert and Rebecca (Chapin) EA'arts;
b. in xVddison Co., Vt., May 2, 1775. Family tradition says
" that they both attended the Academy at Middlebnry, Vt.," and
he afterwards taught school in that town, but subsequently
became engaged in a general transportation business on Lakes
Champlain and Ontario. That he might l)e better situated in
regard to his business he removed to Canada and settled near
Hamilton, Ont., about 1807. On the breaking out of the War
of 1812, he was asked to take the oath of allegiance to the
King, which he refused to do. He was arrested and his
property confiscated, which rendered him pecuniarily destitute,
with a family of nine children. He was released on his
jiarole of honor, and at the close of the war, after suffering
many hardships, he with his family and others, managed to
make their escape to the United States, and reached Buffalo,
where they spent the following winter in the barracks. In the
spring following, they moved up the lake to the mouth of the
Huron river, where they lived for several months ; and then after
several mouths of unsettled life, and hardships, and privations,

he, with the assistance of friends, settled on an eighty-acre lot
in Jeflerson Township, Richland Co., Ohio. He soon after
obtained the appointment to teach the first school in that locality.

to reside in that place until their decease. He died July 28, 1846.

148-460. James Bigelow of Templetou, Mass. In conse-
quence of incomplete records of the early days of our New Eng-
land towns, we are unable to trace with certainty the ancestry of
the above James Bigelow. From family records we are informed
that he was born in " Westown," Jan. 1, 1743, but there being
no town of Westown, we infer that the writer of the record must
have intended Weston, the home of many of the early families
of Bigelows. The date as given above was taken from his
gravestone, which was erected by his son Levi, but from another
family record, we are informed that he was born Jan. 2G, 1742.
Family tradition says that his father was a roving man, and that
little was known of him, or what became of him. James was
taken when very small and brought up by a family of another
name, and, therefore, from a lack of records, and with what
family tradition and records we have, we incline to the opinion
that he was a son of James Bigelow of Weston, who was soon
after, of Worcester and vicinity, and of whom we find no trace
after 1746, and from what little we learn of him, he appears to
have been of a roving disposition, and had no regular abiding
place. At the age of 16, James, Jr., enlisted in the army
in the French and Indian War, serving to its close ; and
when the Revolutionary War broke out, he again entered the
service on the 19th of April, 1775, in Col. Doolittle's Regiment,
and served a greater part of the time until its close, never
receiving a bounty or a pension for his services. He married
about 1763, Mary Sawyer, who, family tradition and records
say, was born in Kittery, Maine, Oct. 29, 1740. They settled
in Templeton, Mass., where they had a large family of children.
About 1786 they emigrated to the Kennebec Valley, which was
at that time little else than an unbroken wilderness, and settled
in the then new town or settlement of Bloomfield, which is now
a part of Skowhegan, and there lived until his death, Jan. 27,
1829, at the ripe old age of 87 years. She died May 29, 1817,
aged 76 years. Their children were :

1077. Betty, b. May 1, 1764; m. Solomon Steward; res. Skowhegan,

148-461. Enoch Bigelow of Charlton, Mass., son of James

the preceding James, we are left with but little record to build
from. We find no further mention of James after the birth of
Enoch. The next mention that we find concerning Enoch
appears on the town records of Charlton, where Enoch Bigelow
and Bette demons were married Aug. 28, 1770. From the rolls
of Revolutionary soldiers at the State House we find that Enoch
Bigelow served in the company from Charlton, July 4, 1780, till

Having no children she resided with some friends in Leroy for
some years after the death of her husbanil, and then Avent to
live with her nephew, Daniel Bigelow in Lakeviile, where she
died. In her younger days it fell to her lot to care for her
parents in their old age. Her father for some years was nearly
helpless, and consequently dependent. She fulfilled the mission
of a faithful daughter to them till the end came. Inuring her
residence with her nephew she freciuently alluded to this fact in
her history, and in connection therewith would repeat the lifth
commandment, "Honor thy father and thy mother that thy
days may be long in the land." And then affirm that she believed

quite a help ; at the age of 14 he was apprenticed to learn the

years. About the time he was 21 he was drafted, went on

Afterwards as an Assistant Commissary to Colonel Champion,
the Commissary General, he went several times into New Jersey,

of Col. Timothy and Anna (Andrews) Bigelow, was born in
Worcester, April 30, 1767. His father being actively engaged
in the early movements of the Revolution, and being away from
home in the service of his country, the care of the children fell
to the lot of the mother. Early in life he entered the printing
office of Isaiah Thomas, where he worked two years, but his love
for books was the ruling passion, and while at work in the
printing office he spent his leisure moments in study. In 1778
he was placed in charge of Rev. Joseph Pope of Spencer for a
time, but the spring of 1779 found him with his father, in the
Continental Army in the Rhode Island Campaign. When Col.
Bigelow's Regiment was ordered south, the boy Timothy returned
home to study under the care of Benjamin Lincoln (then a law

GENEALOGY. 147

student) for a time, and then he was placed under the tuition of
Samuel Dexter, who prepared him for admission to Harvard
University, which he gained in 1782, graduated with high honors
in the class of 1786, soon commenced the study of law in the
ofllce of Levi Lincoln, Esq., and was admitted to the bar 1789.
He commenced practice in Groton, Mass., where he became
acquainted with and married, Sept. 30, 1791, Lucy, daughter of P
Hon. Oliver and Lydia (Baldwin) Prescott. Here he lived "^'^^
until 1806, during which time he was chosen to represent the
town in the General Coui't, 1792 to 1797, and Senator for the
four succeeding years. He was chosen a member of the Council,
1802, and was again, in 1804, chosen representative to the
Legislature, to which place he was returned for eighteen succes-
sive years, having in the meantime (1806) changed his residence
from Groton to Medford. In 1805 he was chosen Speaker of
the House, as also in 1808 and 1809, and again in 1812 to 1819
inclusive, which place he filled with marked ability and popu-
larity, having occupied the position a greater number of years
than any other person since the formation of the State govern-
ment. In 1820 he was elected a member of the Council, and
before his term expired he died at his home in Medford, May
18, 1821. In politics he was active as a member of the Federal
Party, and was a delegate from Massachusetts, to the Hartford
Convention in 1814. As a lawyer he stood at the head of his
profession. He practiced in the courts of Massachusetts and
New Hampshire, and he is said to have pleaded the cause of
15,000 cases before the courts during his life's work, and always
maintained an unspotted reputation for integrity, ability, and
honesty. He was identified with the Masonic fraternity in
Massachusetts, and was elected Grand Master of the Grand
Lodge of Massachusetts, over which he presided with signal
ability. His widow died Dec. 15, 1852. Their children were :

of great firmness and decision, and Mr. Bigelow inherited princi-

moved a short time previous to her death. The following is a

436-1046. Nahum Bigelow, son of Simeon and Sarah (Fos-
ter) Bigelow, was born in Brandon, Vt., Feb. 9, 1785; like his
father he grew up a farmer and stock raiser, but Yankee rest-
lessness soon drove him out in the world, and taking a peddler's
pack, he travelled about the country until he was married, Dec.
12, 1826, to Mary Gibbs in Lawrence ville. 111. While living in
that place two children, Hiram and Mary Jane, were born to
them. The couple decided to move to Coles Co., and lived there
for ten years. Here Lucy, Asa, Elijah, Lavinia, Liola and
Sariah, were born. Here too the Gospel called Mormouism was
preached to Nahum, and after some time given to thought and
prayer, himself, wife and two eldest children were baptized
April 1, 1829. Another move was then made to Mercer Co.,
where two more sons, Moroni and Daniel, were born. Still
another move to Hancock Co. was made in 1843, and here the
last child, Joseph Smith, was born. The character of Nahum was
one of frank, sturdy independence. Honest to a fault, generous,
quick tempered and affectionate, his children bear resemblance
more or less to the father. He was inclined to invention, was

236 THE BIGELOW FAMILY.

what was called aptly, a "good provider" for his family. Brave
but not reckless, he gave one man a proof of his fearlessness.
It was when the Mormons were being persecuted, mobbed and
driven like sheep by ravenous wolves, in Hancock and adjoining
counties of Illinois. Threatened with his life, one night a man
knocked at Nahum's door demanding admittance. (It was the
day, the very hour, in which the mob had threatened to come
and burn and kill every one beneath the old farmer's roof) .
Three times Nahum asked who was the intruder and what was
his business, three times he was told gruffly and laconically to
open the door and let the stranger in. Suiting his action to the
determination expressed in words, the supposed mobocrat put
his shoulder to the door and pushed his way in. Sorry the
moment, for Nahum quietly reached for his gun, and as the man
sprang into the room, a rifle shot rang through the house, and
the stranger turned and fled, yelling as he ran, " Boys I am
shot." The supposed mobocrat turned out to be one of a posse
of men sent from Carthage, on Nahum's own application, to
defend the family ; they had purposely concealed their identity to
practice a poor joke on the naturally excited family. Dearly,
almost with his life, the unfortunate Lieutenant paid for his fun.
However, he was honest enough to make out a deposition setting
forth the facts, sending it to Carthage, and thus saved probably
the life of the farmer. Nahum, indeed was overwhelmed with
shame and remorse when he saw whom he had shot, but could
only say reproachfully " Why didn't you tell me, man, who you
were ; I would as soon shot my wife and children ? " It was some
months after this, after the martyrdom of Joseph and Hiram
Smith, that an old neighbor but a bitter Mormon hater, asked the
farmer to take a " friendly " breakfast with him and administered
a deadly poison in the cup of coffee. Only by faith and constant
prayer did Nahum rise up from the bed of agony and death upon
which this "friendly" act threw him. For months he suffered
all that mortality could endure and still exist. Through it all,
his one constant prayer was, " Father, only let me live till I can
get my family out of 'this horrible mob-ridden country into the
great unknown regions of the "West, and then when they are safe
and in peace, I am ready to go."

It was so ; after going through the heart-rending scenes of the
drivings of Missouri, he was enabled to emigrate his family to

GENEALOGY. 237

Utah in 1850, he and his family settling for the winter in Farm-
ington. His daughters, Mary Jane and Lucy, were married to
President Brigham Young and remained in Salt Lake City. In
the winter the poisoned martyred body of the brave old farmer
failed rapidly, and on Jan. 28, 1851, the spirit took its flight to
that Rest so faithfully earned. His wife, Mary, died at St.
George, Utah, April 19, 1888, at the home of her daughter
Lucy ; she was born in Lisle, Broome Co., N. Y., June 26, 1809,
and was in her 79th year. As a whole, the descendants of sturdy
Nahum Bigelow show all the distinctive family traits and are
everywhere honored as friends, neighbors and citizens. Rejoic-
ing in their honorable name and family, each seems to feel a
peculiar pleasure in performing his part so that it may be said of
all, " Behold a family in whom there is no guile." — [Sketch writ-
ten by a granddaughter, Mrs. Susa Young Gates].
The following are the children of Nahum :

2310. Mary Jane, b. Oct. 15, 1827; m. March, 1847, Brigham Young;

seeker after truth wherever it is to be found." The portrait of

March 29, 1807, Margaret Kilbreatli, daughter of John
Kilbreath, of P^dwardsburg, Ont. ; born at Point Cardinal,
Edwardsburg, April 25, 1789. John Kilbreath was a United
Empire Loyalist, and was in the British service during the
Revolution, and he and his sons and daughters received free
grants of land in Canada because of such service. Levi Bigelow
lived with his father until a young man, when he went from
home ; after his marriage he resided a few years at Ogdens-
burg, N. Y., and then moved to Canada, and taught school one
winter prior to 1812, at Rednersville, in the township of
Ameliasburg, Ont. ; he received the appointment of Sergeant
in the incorporated militia, and in that capacity served in the
Quartermaster's Department in the war of 1812 ; he moved
his family to York (No. Toronto) and resided there until 1823,
when he moved to Port Hope, Ont. He subsequently moved to
Bowmanville, Ont., where he resided many years. At the close
of the war of 1812, he was engaged in mercantile business in
Toronto two or three years, and after that time he was appointed
Deputy Sheriff at York, which office he held four or five years, and
resigned in 1823, when he moved to Port Hope. He received a

Bigelow, was born in Springfield, Vt., Aug. 7, 1790; married,
Jan. 16, 1823, Lucretia Frank, daughter of Andrew and
Lucretia (Huntington) Frank, born in Moukton, Vt., April 18,
1799 ; she died in Bangor, N. Y., Jan. 29, 1869. Though little
favored with educational advantages (having but seven months
schooling up to the age of twelve), by hard work and study
during the winter evenings by the fire light, he attained to a
degree of proficiency that would have done credit to a college
graduate. He was engaged in teaching much of the time for
twenty years ; was a practical surveyor, and carried on the tin-
smith business besides overseeing of a farm. By accident his
father was made a cripple for life, and his mother being many
years an invalid, the family were so reduced that he never had
shoes upon his feet until twelve years of age ; and yet he had
to draw from the forest on a hand-sled, much of the wood used
by the family during his childhood. Whenever he could borrow
a book from any party, his crippled father would sit up all
night and hear him read. He had a remarkable memory, and
later in life he became proficient in Masonic work of thii'teen
degrees, and was for a year or two Grand Lecturer among the
lodges of what was then called Upper Canada. His character
was spotless, his integrity beyond suspicion. He was much
attached to his kindred, even in a remote degree. He became
a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church in Plattsburg,
N. Y., 1824, and removed to Bangor, N. Y., 1826, where he
died May 12, 1879, aged 88 years, 9 months, 5 days. Their

490-1175. Asa Bigelow^ son of Asa and Lydia (Newton)
Bigelow, was born Oct. 10, 1794, " at what was long known to
the family as ' The Old Mansion,' 3| miles south of Colchester
' Borough,' and was educated at Bacon Academy in that village.
Though the large homestead — with the numerous farm hands
and colored servants, and various occupations of an old-time
estate, including, finally, 4 separate farms, blacksmith's shop,
cooper's shop, sawmill, orchards and woodlands, flocks and
herds on an ample scale — was always entertaining to him, and
the remembrances grew upon him towards the end of his long-
life, and no one more lamented the destructive fire by which the
whole house and its contents were consumed about the year
1831, — still the active farm work was never much to his fancy,
and when about 16 years of age he entered as a clerk in the dry
goods store of a relative, in Norwich, Conn., 15 miles from his
father's. This place after a short experience he resigned, much
to the regret of his employer, to accept another in the larger
city of Hartford. He procured for the position he had filled in
Norwich, a youth who was his friend and kinsman, and who

260 THE BIGELOW FAMILY.

continued in business almost upon the same spot all his life,
becoming the most prominent merchant of Norwich, and, after
his retirement, the distinguished war governor and Senator in
Congress, "William A. Buckingham. Mr. Bigelow, after a few
years in Hartford, was invited to Savannah, Ga. ; here and in
the city of Augusta, Ga., he became known among the cotton
planters as a most active, courteous and successful man of busi-
ness. His connection with the cotton trade, then rapidly rising
into its wide importance, finally took him to New York, which
continued his place of business for more than fifty years, first as
a cotton broker and afterwards in agencies for fire insurance.

"All who ever met Mr. Bigelow will remember the singularly
youthful and alert appearance that he maintained, even beyond
fourscore years, a period when almost any one would have been
more ready to think him 50 years of age than 80. He inherited
a constitution of rare excellence from both his parents, one of
whom died at the age of 75, the other of 87, and he himself
nearly 88. He added to this care and the best habits, avoiding
pertinaciously the bane of so many busy men, as nothing could
induce him, though a great traveller, to take his meals hastily ; or
to indulge in liquors or tobacco. The result was almost perfect
health, and exuberant and playful spirits. His acquaintances
recall, whenever his name is mentioned, one of the handsomest
of men, somewhat slight of stature, graceful in every movement,
of elegant manners, and in dress and bearing everywhere a
gentleman.

" Mr. Bigelow was a member and one of the founders of the
Mercer Street Presbyterian Church of New York, under the
pastoral care of the Rev. Thomas H. Skinner, D.D. He after-
wards removed to Brooklyn, where all the later years of his life
were passed, where he was connected with churches in the
vicinity of his abode, and deeply interested in many good objects,
especially in the rescue of the victims of strong drink. He was
married, Feb. 20, 1834, to Jane B. Stebbins, daughter of an old
and highly respected New York merchant, who is now living
(1888), as are four of his five daughters and one son. He died
at his residence in Second Place, Brooklyn, N. Y., April 5,
1882, at the age of 87 years, 5 months, 25 days." — [Rev. Jona-
than Edwards] .

menced teaching school for the first time in the town of Holden,
Mass., and he followed that occupation winters for about thirty
years, the greater portion of the time in his own district. The
remaining months of the year he devoted to farming. He was
for some years, in company with his brother Lambert, interested
in a country store in the west part of Marlborough, but with-
drew from the firm after a few years. In addition to his farm-
ing he did much in surveying, making out deeds, settling estates ;
was a Justice of the Peace for thirty years ; he was always active
in the cause of education, and for several years was one of the
School Committee. He represented the town in the General
Court 1831, 1832, 1834, 1839; was one of the Assessors for
seventeen years. In all of these positions he was known for his
sterling integrity, firmness of mind, and steadfast opposition to
anything that savored of compromise or a vacillating disposition.
As a teacher he was very successful, a thorough disciplinarian,
and always had the welfare of his pupils at heart, many of
whom, who became prominent business men, have said that
they owed much of their success in life to the wise counsel and
care that they received at his hands during their school-days.

694-1614. Charles Dana Bigelow, son of Gershom and
Eunice (Wilder) Bigelow, was born in Marlborough, Mass., Feb.
17, 1S23 ; married. May 24, 1848, Eunice Ann, eldest daughter
of Emerson and Lydia (Bigelow) Howe ; born in Marlborough,
Feb. 16, 1881. Like many of our New England people his
education was gained in the district schools of his native town,
and one term at the formerly well known private school of John
E. Frye of Bolton, Mass. In the Spring of 1841 he went to
learn the trade of making sewed shoes, of Thomas Holder of
Berlin, and after working about a year at that place, he returned
home, and later commenced work bottoming sewed shoes, taking
out work (as was the practice) from some of the manufacturers
in the neighboring towns, and employed at one time eleven men
to work in a small shop (at his father's place on the outskirts of
the town, some three miles from the centre). In 1844 he
increased his business and had four gangs of men at work in as
many small shops located in the same school district. At this
time he commenced to make pegged work, and took his work
from the shop of J. B. Kimball & Co. of Westborough, some
eight miles distant, this he continued until 1845. During the
winter of 1845-46, he attended a school in Boston, and the fol-
lowing spring he again went to work at shoemaking, and had a
shop built about a mile from the centre, and getting stock from
shops in Millbury and Natick, he engaged a larger force.
The following year (1847) with that business enterprise and
energy which always attended him throughout his life, he built a
new shop (in the village) which at that time was the largest shop
in town, and employed quite a large number of men. About this
time he commenced to manufacture shoes for himself, and was
the first to employ Canadian Frenchmen in the shoe shops, in that

GENEALOGY. 305

vicinity, aud with never-tiring energy, he was constantly striving
to improve and increase his business facilities. In 1852 he met
with his first serious misfortune, having his shop with all its con-
tents destroyed by fire. But, nothing daunted, he removed to
New York City and again started in the manufacture of shoes,
and soon increased his business to immense proportions, and
during the years of the war he was running large shops in the
prisons at Sing Sing, N. Y., Trenton, N. J. and Providence, R. I.,
the Penitentiaries at Albany aud Brooklyn, N. Y., and also a large
shop at Worcester, Mass. He organized the Bay State Shoe &
Leather Co. of New York City, of which he was the President for
many years. He was a man of great executive business ability,
and as a manufacturer he had no superiors and but few equals.
A few years before his death, he retii'ed from active business life,
and turned his business over to his son Charles E., and spent
much of his time in travel and recreation, and while temporarily
sojourning in Richmond, Va. he was taken ill and died May 19,
1883, aged 60 years. His widow is residing with her children
at Brooklyn, N. Y. :

812-1885. Horatio Nelson Bigelow, son of Ephraim and
Polly (Brighain) Bigelow, was born in West Boylston, Mass.,
Sept. 13, 1812. His early education he gained in the district
schools of his native town, attending school in winter and work-
ing on the farm in summer. His father built a cotton mill in
1831, and he became a general overseer for his father until he
married, Sept. 24, 1834, Emily Worcester ; he soon after went to
work as overseer in Beaman's mill in West Boylston. In 1836,
he went to Shirley as superintendent of a cotton mill, where he
stayed about a year, and then in 1837, he in company with his
brother Erastus started in the manufacture of coach lace at Lan-
caster and in a short time they organized a corporation for the
manufacture of coach lace known as the Clinton Company, and
in a few years other enterprises followed. The manufacture of
counterpanes was commenced in 1841, which was next followed
by the Lancaster Gingham Mills in 1843-44, and next was started
the Bigelow Carpet Co. in 1849, followed by the Clinton Wire
Cloth Co. in 1856. In all of these enterprises he was the mov-
ing spirit, and did much to build up the village known as
Clintonville, which was set off, and incorporated as a separate
town, March 14, 1850, under the name of Clinton. He was one
of the founders of the Congregational Church, having connected
himself with the church at the age of twenty-one, he ahvays
continued to take an active interest in the church through life.
Among the many other business enterprises we find that he was
the first President of the Clinton Savings Bank, first President
of the Clinton Gas Co., Vice President of the Clinton National
Bank, was a director of the Boston, Clinton & Fitchburg R. R.
Co., and also of the Worcester Mutual Insurance Co. He was
chosen as the first representative from the new town of Clinton to
the Legislature, and was the first postmaster appointed iu that vil-
lage, and when the town was incorporated he gave them the beauti-
ful plot of land that they have for their common, and with his
brother they were the founders of the Public Library, and so

much did he identify himself with the growth of Clinton that no
one can visit the lively town without seeing the strongest evi-
dence on every hand of the public spirit and enterprise of Hora-
tio N. Bigelow. But in the midst of his work, almost without
warning, he was stricken with disease, and a trip to Europe was
taken with the hope that he might recover, away from the cares
of business, but his friends were doomed to disappointment,
and he returned home and died Jan. 2, 1868, from paralysis and
softening of the brain. His children were :

812-1886. Erastds B. Bigelow, son of Ephraim and Polly
(Brigham) Bigelow, was born in West Boylstou, Mass., April 2,
1814. His father being a man of small means he early learned
to work, attending the district school in winter and working on
the farm in summer. His inventive genius early showed itself.
At the age of fourteen he invented a machine to manufacture
piping cord, which was the means of his earning about $100, by
which he was enabled to attend a neighboring academy and
gained additional education. He afterwards went to Boston
and obtained a situation as a clerk in a dry goods store for a brief
period, later he invented a power loom for weaving knotted
counterpanes, and for a time it promised success, but the finan-
cial crisis of 1837 ended the scheme. He next turned his atten-
tion to a power loom to weave coach lace, which contrary to the
predictions of experts proved to be a decided success, and this
was his first permanent step towards prosperity ; having at this
time taken his brother Horatio in company with him. He next
turned his attention to the weaving of carpets and invented the
carpet loom by which his name became so widely known ;
although this by no means completed the list of inventions which
he has given to the world. Of the fifty patents that were taken
out by Mr. Bigelow, the larger portion of them were directly or in-
directly connected with the textile art. He has severally invented
and put into operation, the first successful power looms for
weaving coach lace, wire cloth, ingrain, tapestry, Brussels and
Wilton carpets and silk brocatel. He exhibited samples of his
power loom Brussels carpeting at the Exhibition in Loudon
1851, and received the highest award, from which his inventions

GENEALOGY. 333

were in deniaud in Eugluud. In addition to his inventions and
improvements in tlie weaving of carpets, lie made many otlier
valuable improvements and inventions in power looms for weav-
ing counterpanes and ginghams, as well as other branches of the
textile art. In 1858 he wrote a pamphlet, " Remarks on the de-
pressed condition of manufactures in Mass., with suggestions as
to its cause and remedy," which was afterwards translated into
the Russian language by Count Gurouski. In 1862, he wrote a
very able document on the Tariff Question. He was an original
incorporator of the Mass. Institute of Technology, and a member
of the London Society for the encouragement of Arts, Manufac-
tures and Commerce, a member of the Mass. Historical Society
and a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.
In 1860, he was brought forward as the Democratic Candidate in
the fourth district, for Representative to Congress against Hon.
A. H. Rice, but failed of an election. He married for his first
wife, Susan King, by whom he had one sou. She died and he

and Margaret (Palmer) Armstrong ; born near Manor-Hamilton,
Co. Leitrim, Ireland, June 24, 1810, her father having emigrated
to Canada about 1820. When but eighteen months old he (Hiram
Bigelow) had the misfortune to lose his father by death. His
mother having married a second time, Obadiah Rogers, a well-to-
do farmer near Newmarket, he lived during minority, and worked
upon the farm of his stepfather, who sadly neglected his educa-
tion, only allowing him to attend the common school at intervals
in the winter seasons, making but about six months' schooling
in all. Upon attaining his majority he went to work at the
carpenter's trade, and finally settled on some new land in the
Township of Tecumseh, Ont., previous to his marriage, and
continued to live on his newly cleared land until 1830 ; but being
naturally ambitious he disposed of his farm, and purchased
another lot in the same township, upon which there was a mill
site, and built a sawmill, which proved to be a successful venture.
In 1837 he built a grist-mill, and in 1841 he opened a general
store. In the meantime he acquired the adjoining property, and

GENEALOGY. 367

in 1843 he had 800 acres of land at this place, which property
he held at the time of his decease in 1853. The water power at
this place not being adequate to do the business he desired, he
purchased in 1843, the water power created by the lock dam con-
structed by the Provincial Government on the Scugog river, at
Lindsay, Ont., where he built the Lindsay Mills, which property
he sold in 1852, retaining only the store, where he continued
business as before. In 1844 he was elected Councillor to repre-
sent the Township of Ops (in which the town of Lindsay is now
situated), in the District Council of Colborne District (subse-
quently this district was divided into two counties, Peterborough
and Victoria, and the representatives were called Reeves instead
of Councillors), and was elected to the same office 1845, 1846,
1848, 1849, 1852. He was an active member of the Council,
in every way a highly respected, industrious and enterprising
citizen, and a firm adherent to the cause of temperance. He
died at Lindsay, Dec. 11, 1853. His widow died at the same
place, Sept. 14, 1856, Their children were :

1093-2445. Hon. John Bigelow, son of Asa and Lucy
(Isham) Bigelow, was born at Maiden, N. Y., Nov. 25, 1817,
graduated at Union College, N. Y., in 1835 ; studied law with
Robert and Theodore Sedgwick in New York City ; was admitted
to the bar in 1838, and commenced the practice of his profes-
sion there in 1840. In 1845 was appointed by Governor Wright
one of the Inspectors of the State prison at Sing Sing, which
office he filled until the office was made elective by a change of the
Constitution. While at the bar, Mr. Bigelow was an occasional
contributor to the Magazines and Reviews of the period upon
literary and professional topics. In 1849, upon the invitation
of the late William Culleu Bryant, he became with him joint
editor and proprietor of the New York Evening Post. In 1850,
he visited the West Indies, and on his return published a work
entitled, " Jamaica in 1850 or the effects of sixteen years of
Freedom on a Slave Colony." He visited Europe with his
family in the fall of 1858, and was absent about two years. In
the fall of 1860, and after the election of Mr. Lincoln as
President, he retired from the Evening Post with the view of
devoting the remainder of his life to literary pursuits. In the
fall of 1861, President Lincoln appointed him Consul at Paris.
During his Consulate he wrote " Les Etats Unis d'Amerique en
1863," which was published by Hachette & Co. It was designed
to correct eri'oneous impressions prevailing in France in regard
to the relation commercial to her, of the Northern and Southern
States of our Union. On the death of Wm. L. Dayton of
New Jersey, in Dec, 1864, he was appointed Charge d'affaires,
and a few weeks later Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Pleni-
potentiary to the Court of Napoleon III. His mission was

GENEALOGY. 377

signalized by the discovery, and defeat of the schemes of the
Confederate States of America, to construct a fleet of formid-
able war vessels in French Ports, for the Confederate Navy,
a full account of which, he has given in a volume entitled,
"France and the Confederate Navy," published by Harper &
Brothers, N. Y,, in 1888. He also conducted to a successful
issue the negotiations for the retirement of the P'rench Army
from Mexico in 1867. He resigued this mission at the close of
1866, and returned to the United States. In 1867, he published
the first correct edition of Franklin's Autobiography, the
Autograph MSS. of which he found in France, and was fortunate
enough to purchase. He passed the years 1870, 1871 and 1872,
in Germany for the education of his children, during which
time he published in London a volume entitled, " France and
Hereditary Monarchy," the purpose of which was to discourage
the Provisional Government of France, from yielding to the
wishes of M. Thiers and his friends to establish a Dynastic
Parliamentary government like that of England ; but to insist
upon a Republican government with officers of sovereignty
chosen by the people and for a limited term. In April, 1875,
he was appointed by Governor Tilden, one of five commissioners
to investigate alleged frauds in the management of the Canal
System of the State, and was chosen Chairman of the Board at
its first meeting. In the fall of 1875 he was nominated by the
Democratic Convention unanimously, and later, was elected Secre-
tary of State. In 1885, he prepared a collection of the writings
and speeches of Samuel J. Tilden, which was published in two
volumes by Harper & Brothers. By the Will of Governor Tilden
he became one of his Executors upon his death in 1886,
and the following year was elected President of the "Tilden
Trust," a corporation organized under the will for the establish-
ment of a free library in the city of New York to which about
four-fifths of Mr. Tilden's large estate was consecrated. He
has just finished a Memoir of his old colleague in the Evening
Post, Wni. C. Bryant, which is to be published by Houghton &
Mifllin of Boston in 1890. He resides at Highland Falls on
the Hudson in Summer, and in the winter months at 21 Gramercy
Park, N. Y. He married June 11, 1850, Jane Tunis Poultney,
daughter of Ivan and Jane (Tunis) Poultney, born in Balti-

vice and was severely wounded, from the effects of which he

GENEALOGY. 383

died at Brownsville, Texas, March 29, 1869. From a Browns-
ville paper we copy the following. " At the conclusion of the
Mexican War, he devoted himself to the study of law in the
practice of which he has constantly displayed the most indomita-
ble energy and unswerving perseverance ; these were the promi-
nent characters of his career as a lawyer. His remarkable energy
was strikingly exhibited even during his last sickness. He had
several appealed cases in the Supreme Court at Galveston at its
last term, despite the fact that he had been for weeks confined
to his bed and as his friends believed with slight hopes of ulti-
mate recovery. He had himself conveyed to the steamer at Bra-
zos on a bed placed in an ambulance and in this condition of
health proceeded to Galveston. There he attended to business
with his usual keenness and activity of mind, and on the break-
ing up of the Court for want of a quorum, returned home — his
work completed — to die. As a man Judge Bigelow was large
hearted, kind and generous. He was the idol of the poor and
helpless classes of our population especially the Mexicans, for
whose stories of want or misfortune he had always a ready,
friendly ear, and an open, generous hand. Few men in the com-
munity were more thoroughly identified with the growth, prog-
ress and prosperity of Brownsville than Judge Bigelow."

When the cholera raged so fearfully in Brownsville and none
could be persuaded to bury the dead, and there was no Board of
Health to compel them, then Israel B. Bigelow dug graves, read
the burial service and buried them himself, and then assumed the
responsibility of forming the Mexicans (that were held as
prisoners in the city) into gangs and compelled them with others
to clean the streets, and ordered food and necessaries to be pro-
vided at public expense, and by using all possible precautions, soon
reduced the death rate, and overcame the epidemic. The acts
and other kindnesses to the Texas citizens made him ever dear
to them. He was elected Mayor of the City, and one of his first
measures was to secure for them proper sanitary regulations for
the future. A lawyer by profession, he was made one of the
Judges of the Supreme Court of Texas. His only child died in
infancy. An adopted daughter, Mrs. Hattie Foster, is now living
in Jacksonville, Florida.

1603-3023. Edwin M. Bigelow, son of Levi and Nancy
(Ames) Bigelow, was born in Marlborough, Mass., March 26,
1825. Graduated at Harvard University in the class of 1846 ;
studied law and was admitted to the bar and opened an office in
Boston, where he now lives, and has a large practice. He mar-
ried, April 13, 1854, Maria A. Crawford, She died Dec. 2,
1854, leaving one son :

4451. Arthur C, b. Dec. 1, 1854; d. Jan., 1855.

1603-3024. Horace H. Bigelow, was born in Marlborough,
Mass., June 2, 1827, and was the son of Levi and Nancy (Ames)
Bigelow. Like most New England boys, his education was con-
fined to the public schools, and what they could do for him up
to the age of fifteen, when he began the struggle for mastery
with fate, by deliberately choosing the bench of the shoemaker
for his start in business life. The spirit of the boy was not
much different from that displayed in later years, for it was not
long before his natural mechanical and inventive endowments
began to carve for him that larger career that finally won for
him so high a place among his fellows. Naturally, his inventive
genius turned in the direction of boot and shoe manufacture,
and it was not surprising that at a comparatively early age he
was the acknowledged inventor of the heel pressing and nailing
machines, from which he has deservedly won a large fortune.
Of course shoe manufacturing was the early dream of the
young mechanic and inventor, and he soon found his way into
the active work that this important industry entails. His ven-
tures were not confined to Worcester or the State of Massachu-
setts, for the records place him in Providence, R. I., in various
cities in New York, New Jersey, and in Worcester in 1863.
One of the daring acts of his business career was the organiz-
ing the prison labor of several State prisons, and in an incredi-
bly short time setting hundreds of men at work to supply the
demands suddenly forced upon him. In 1870 he withdrew from
the active personal care of manufacturing interests and plunged
into other equally absorbing cares with the wisdom and energy
that had hitherto characterized him.

Securing control of the Worcester & Shrewsbury railroad, and
a large portion of the real estate at Lake Quinsigamond, he began
at once the wise development of both, and has already accom-

'■"^^

plished wouders in the development of the most lovely section
of our State. As President of the railroad he at once provided
steel rails, newer and better engines and cars, built a pretty
station at the lake, and with car houses and gradings expended
thousands of dollars, every one of which, in no uncertain sense,
resulting in positive good to our entire city. At the Lake he has
created the charming village of Lake View, and he has made
it possible for an}' thrifty young man to own a house for himself
and dear ones. While busy with these important enterprises,
he kept others of equal magnitude well in hand. The Bullard
Rifle Co. of Springfield, Mass., is indebted to him for its estab-
lishment. The Electric Power Co. has him for a strong arm to
lean upon, and the list might be extended greatly in the simple
enumeration of the various interests that claim his care and
attention. As a business man he has the proud record of achiev-
ing whatever he undertakes, and of never tiring or giving up
until the end is reached and his purpose accomplished. As a
man the name of H. H. Bigelow will ever be associated with
unceasing efforts to help his fellows, and with a persistent and
unflagging purpose to stand by the unfortunate. The right to
free speech is sacred in his eyes, and to maintain it in the person
of one who was unjustly oppressed, he did not hesitate a moment
to spend freely thousands of dollars. No man is more generous
to a vanquished opponent, revenge never enters into his battle
against wrong ; it is that right should prevail he struggles, that
attained, he holds out both hands in warm friendship. With
Hon, Edward L. Davis he has given the City of Worcester one
hundred and ten acres for a Lake Park, and is a generous sup-
porter of all good enterprises.

He consummated the largest real estate purchase ever made
within the city proper. The vast tract of land formerly used
for railroad purposes lying east of Main, between Mechanic and
Foster Streets, and covering one hundred and fifteen thousand
square feet, he bought and has held inviolate for the purpose of
erecting thereon the finest building devoted to business purposes,
not alone in this county or State, but in New England. With
the purchase of this land there came into his hands the large
building known as a Skating Rink. At that time this form of
amusement was but little enjoyed ; by a wise policy of low
prices, baud concerts and various attractions offered from time

414 THE BIGELOW FAMILY.

to time, he was able to furnish pleasant amusement to thousands
at a cost that whole families could afford to pay. And from his
success in this direction sprang the craze that swept like a prairie
fire throughout the land. His only purpose in allowing the Rink
to be run was to give the people pleasant amusement at a low
cost.

As a man of liberal and generous views, the friend of all
worthy enterprises, the defender of the poor and friendless, the
helper of the deserving, and the persistent and clear headed
man of large affairs, H. H. Bigelow is indelibly associated.

He married, Jan. 22, 1852, Lucy Ann Howe, daughter of
Thomas and Patty Howe. She died Sept. 25, 1857. He mar-
ried second, June 1, 1859, Adelaide E. Buck of Portland, Conn.

born Dec. 24, 1828. His education was obtained in the district
schools of Boxborough and at the Lawrence Academy in Groton.
At the completion of his studies he engaged in business in his
native town. In the spring of 1853 he removed to South Ded-
ham (now Norwood) and engaged in the business of a general
country store. By sound business principles and the most
unswerving honesty and integrity he built up a large and pros-
perous business. In 1872, when that part of Dedham was set

GENEALOGY. 415

off and incorporated as the town of Norwood, he was chosen as
its first Treasurer, which ollice he licld up to the time of his
death, Dec. 6, 1886. He was deeply interested in the welfare
of the Uuiversalist church of which he was a member. The
cause of temperance, as well as all other movements tending to
improve and help society, found in him a staunch and willing
supporter, both by his influence and means. He was thoroughly
conscientious in all of his acts, which together with his strict
integrity and courteous manners, gained for him the highest
respect from all classes in the community where he had so long
resided. Their children were :

received a common school education, learned the machinist
trade in Guilford, Conn., and in 1853 removed to New Haven,
where he studied surveying and civil engineering with the late
George Beckwith, and later was engaged in the construction of
the first railroad in Minnesota. He held positions of trust and
responsibility in the management of two large manufacturing
establishments in the west, and in 1875 he returned to New
Haven, where he is now engaged in business. Among his many
inventions and experiments during the last ten years, was the
engine for the recently constructed Submarine Torpedo Boat,
Peacemaker, which he designed, patented and built. He is a
member of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, and
also of several other Engineering Societies. Their children

1812-3330. Ex.-Gov. HoBART B. Bigelow, son of Levi L.

he attended the Academy at that place until he was seventeen
years of age, when he went to learn the machinist trade with
the Guilford Manufacturing Co., where he remained until the

company failed. He then entered the employ of the New
Haven Manufacturing Co., which was then under the manage-
ment of his uncle Asahel Pierpont. Here his apprenticeship
was finished, and he afterwards entered the employ of Ives &
Smith ; until 1861 he had charge of the machine department
as foreman with that firm and their successors Wilcox & Gay.
In 1861, upon the death of Mr. Gay, he bought out Mr. Cyprian
Wilcox's interest and continued the business in his own name,
and later he acquired of Mr. Wilcox the foundry connected with
the establishment, and the business was carried on under the
name of The Bigelow Manufacturing Company. At this place,
under careful management, his business grew until there was no
longer space for his buildings, and in 1870 he was compelled to
remove to a wider location at Grapevine Point, where he has
since conducted his business. Previous to his removal he had
added a department for the manufacture of boilers. In 1875
the firm was made H. B. Bigelow & Co., Mr. Henry Elson being
received as partner. In 1877 the partnership was again extended
by the entrance of Mr. George S. Barnum, and in 1883 the
Bigelow Company was organized under a special charter from
the Legislature. He was elected a member of the Common
Council in 1863-64, and as Alderman in 1864-65. He was
Supervisor in 1871-74, and Fire Commissioner in 1874-76. He
also served one term as representative from New Haven to
the General Assembly of 1875, and in 1879 he was elected for
a two years' term as Mayor, although belonging to a party
usually in the minority. His administration of this office was
very successful, and several improvements were made and
carried out, and were due largely to his support and careful
management. At the close of his term as Mayor, he was called
by a majority of the citizens of the State to occupy the office of
Governor, a place he filled with quiet dignity, thorough impar-
tiality, and great good sense. In 1882, upon the death of
Nathan Peck, he was elected President of the Merchants
National Bank of New Haven, of which he had been for
several years a Director. Since his retirement from official
life, his attention has been devoted to his bank and to his com-
pany. His career has been pre-eminently that of a business
man, familiar with, and skilful in, modern methods of conduct-

energy, careful and thoughtful to details, avoidance of specula-
tion and the severest integrity. He married, 1857, Eleanor

continued four years, when he sold his interest to his brother.
His father having died in 1853, he was appointed managing

Perry he opened a general store which he very successfully man-
aged until 1864, when he sold out and removed to Milwaukee,

a Justice of the Peace. After two years' residence in Milwaukee

APPENDIX.

The followincf are records of families that could not be
connected with the family tree with any degree of certainty
and also families who sent in their data too late for inser-
tion in their proper place in the body of the work, we
therefore give all the information we have, and with the
assistance of the reference numbers at the left hand we
hope to make it plain, so that all may ascertain the family
connection where it is possible to define the fact. In many
of the families, during the latter part of the eighteenth
century, we find that one or more of the children had dis-
appeared from the genealogist's view, and no trace to be
found concerning their whereabouts, and family tradition
would say "went west and never heard from," "went
away from home early and never heard from," and in those
days, when letter carrying was expensive and but little
indulofed in, the brothers and sisters who remained in the
vicinity of their old home soon lost track of their migrating
relative, who presumably had gone to some newly settled
portion of the country, and he in turn being busily engaged
in caring for his family and making a home in some dis-
tant portion of the country, had but little opportunity to
hear from early home, and their descendants grew up to
know but little concerning their ancestors in the east, and
consequently the family connection in some instances is
vague and not clearly defined.

MOSES BIGELOW.

Concerning the parentage of Moses Bigelow, we make the
supposition that he was the son of Moses and Mary (Hammond)
Bigelow of Weston, baptized Aug. 5, 1764. (Page 80, No. 528) .

464 THE BIGELOW FAMILY.

The rest of our information we gain from letters written by his
descendants, one of whom (a son), John Bigelow of Big Rapids,
Mich., says: "My grandfather's name was Moses, what his
brothers' names were, I don't know. * * * My father's name
was Moses. * * * My father's brother's name was Levi, and
my father lived with a man by the name of Arnold in Provi-
dence, R. I., after his father was killed at Quebec." Earnest
A. Bigelow of Sutton, P. Q. (a great grandson), says: "Our
great-grandfather was Moses Bigelow from some part of Rhode
Island, and married a Miss Wing." Their family was :

Harding ; is said to have been at one time a Mayor of San Francisco.

Ward ; lived in New York State,

Horace ; resided in Vermont.

fSxEPHEN, b. Dec. 26, 1805 ; m. Amelia Smith.

John, b. 1813; res. Big Rapids, Mich.

Stephen Bigelow, son of the above named Moses Bigelow,
was born Dec. 26, 1805 ; married, Feb. 25, 1829, Amelia Smith ;
born April 2, 1809 ; died Sept. 12, 1855. They resided in Sut-
ton, P. Q., where their children were born, and he died Sept. 3,
1883. Children:

Eliza, b. Dec. 7, 1829; m. Thomas Chapman; res. Broome.
Ashley, b. Dec. 27, 1831; m. Caroline Larkin of Lynn, Mass.; res.

Columbia, Cal.
Cynthia, b. Aug. 29, 1833; 7n. Solomon Weston; res. Sutton.
tDANiEL K., b. Nov. 23, 1836; m. Maranda Church.
Peleg S., b. June 27, 1837; d. July 23, 1841.
Hattie E., b. Dec. 25, 1840; d. March 20, 1862, in Lynn.
Mary J., b. Sept. 2, 1843; m. Stewart Scofield; res. Sutton.
Betsey A., b. Aug. 15, 1846; m. George Holland; res. Bolton, P. Q.

Daniel K. Bigelow, son of Stephen and Amelia (Smith)
Bigelow, was born in Sutton, P. Q., Nov. 23, 1835; married
Maranda Church, and now resides at Sutton. Their children
were :

Earnest A., b. July 18, 1865; res. Sutton, P. Q.
Frederick M., b. Jan. 30, 1867; res. Denver, Colo.
Horace S., b. March 18, 1871.
Forrest H., b. May 24, 1873.
Hattie E., b. June 8, 1876.

Since writing the body of this work we have come in posses-
sion of facts which would lead us to correct the account that we
had concerning the family of Solomon Bigelow (page 105) 108-
300. We learn from what appears to be good authority, that he
moved from Shrewsbury about 1767 to Winchendon, Mass.,

APPENDIX. 465

where he lived several years. "We find from the Winchendon
Records that he married a second time, as his intention of mar-
riage with one Hannah Sanders, or Sanderson, was entered June
10, 1772, and his name is to be found on the list of soldiers in
1775. In March, 1778, he was chosen a member of the Com-
mittee of Correspondence, and in 1779 he was chosen one of the
Selectmen and Assessors, and appears to have been one of the
prominent men of the town, and to have lived there as late as
1787, and probably moved soon after to Brookfield, Vt., as
stated on page 105. Among the children was a sou Ebenezer,
who, family tradition says, was born about 1767, although the
account is somewhat confusing, as he is said to have been a son
by the second wife, but it is fair to presume that he was born in
Winchendon, where he lived several years. He married Sally
Wales and resided in Winchendon imtil 1804, when he is said to
have removed to Weathersfield, Vt. From the Records of
Winchendon and family tradition we learn the following in
regard to his family :

Grate, b. Oct. 19, 1796.

fJosEPH, b. May 6, 1798; m. and had a family.
John, b. Jan. 31, 1800.
Louis, b. May 18, 1802.

Sally, b. June 29, 1804; m. Jan. 26, 1828, Obed Thiu-ston, son of
David Thurston; b. in Dublin, N. H., Feb. 3, 1797; res. Ludlow,
Vt. They had :

Wales Bigelow, b. July 29, 1836; m. Julia C. Jones; res. St.

Louis, Mo., where he is engaged in mercantile business.
Arabella Imogene, b. Nov. 17, 1848.
Silas.

Enos; perhaps the Enos Bigelow who m. 1839, Emily Bennett,
daughter of Amos Bennett of Eichmond, N. H., and kept a tavern
for some years, and later moved to Keene.

Joseph Bigelow, son of Ebenezer and Sally (Wales) Bigelow,
was born in Winchendon, Mass., May 6, 1798 ; married, but we
are unable to give the name of his wife. From family tradition
we learn that he had six children, probably born in Vermont ;
they were :

John.
Daniel.
Sarah.
Lucinda.
Helen.

Lewis Henry, b. in Springfield, Vt. ; m. Kate ; res. Fair-
mount, Cuyahoga Co., O. ; she d. Nov. 22, 1873. They had :
Herbert Lewis, b. in Collinwood, O., May 23, 1866.

From Miss Mary L. Bigelow and Mrs. Mary Hathaway, both

His wife's name was Cynthia Scott, and they had three children,
Silas Poraeroy Bigelow, Noah Scott Bigelow and Sally Bigelow."
The latter married Benjamin Fry.

Samuel Bigelow. Coucerning this Samuel Bigelow we find
that we cannot as yet connect him with the main family, but we
give the following as received from a member of the family —
Hon. George E. Bigelow, Lincoln, Neb. : " My grandfather,
Samuel Bigelow, is as far back as I have any definite knowledge
of the family. I am informed that his father died when he was
only three weeks old of small-pox, and was buried near Hart-
ford, Conn. His mother's maiden name was Mary Lyman, and
there was only one child by this marriage. She afterwards mar-
ried a man from Salisbury, Conn. — John Conn, I believe — and
raised a large family."

Samuel Bigelow was born in Hartford, 1776 ; married, 1809,
Phebe Minard, and resided in Salisbury, Conn., for several
years. He removed from Salisbury in 1833 and settled in Port-
age Co., O., where he died Dec. 25, 1863. She died July 18,
1849. Their children were born in Salisbury :

Nathan Bigelow of Ausable Valley, Clinton Co., N. Y., is
said by his descendants to have emigrated from New Hampshire

think it probable that he was the Nathan, son of John and
Rebecca (Howe) Bigelow, mentioned on page 54, No. 270, as
born in Holden, Mass., Oct. 9, 1744. Family tradition would
indicate his wife's name was Curtis. He had three sons and
three or four daughters. He died about 1800. The sons were :

Ephraim ; m. and had three sons, all now deceased.

781-1811. Captain George F. Bigelow, son of Elisha and
Elizabeth (Cheney) Bigelow, was born Dec. 2, 1800. He was
taken by a relative of his mother's when a small boy to bring
up, and at the age of fourteen he went to learn the carpenter's
trade, but did not stay many years. He next tried peddling tin-
ware for a party in New Haven, and soon commenced business
on his own account and became quite successful, but at the age
of eighteen he purchased a small coasting vessel and commenced
to make trips along the coast of New England, extending his
trips to southern ports. While engaged in the coasting trade he
had the misfortune to wreck his vessel in Long Island Sound,
near Darien, Conn. He married, Jan. 18, 1826, Rebecca
Wilmot, daughter of Enos Wilmot of Darien, and for a few
years he resided at that place. In the winter of 1830-31 he
removed to Northampton Co., Va., and settled at Machipongo
Inlet, where he engaged in mercantile business, and later he
opened a shipyard, but owing to the poor health of his family
he removed them to their old home, Darien, Conn., and about
this time he had the misfortune to lose a large amount of property
by fire. Soon after, in 1837, he moved to Norfolk, Va., and
commenced business in flour, grain and groceries, and also
opened a shipyard and built several vessels, but he was again
the victim of a fire — burning of a vessel — and in 1840 he moved
to Newport, Ind., where he had a store, and soon after sold out
his property in Virginia and moved his family to Newport. In
< the spring of 1842 he moved to Francisville, 111., and again
engaged in trade and manufacturing. In 1857 he removed to
Wisconsin and settled in Crawford Co., where he lived and died
Aug. 22, 1877. She died Feb. 1, 1880. Their children were :

THE ANCESTORS OF MARY (WARREN) BIGLO.

COMPILED BY CHARLES H. W. WOOD OF BOSTON, MASS.

The first marriage recorded on the Watertown Records is that
of John Bigulah (or Biglo) and Mary Warin (or Warren), Oct.
30, 1642. By this marriage the Bigelows are connected by
descent with the Warren family. Mary Warren's father, John
Warren, was on the list of 118 freemen at Watertown, May 18,
1631. He is said to have emigrated to this country about 1630,
and was forty-five years of age when he came. We learn that
in 1635 he was selected as one to lay out the highways and see
that they be sufficiently repaired, and was Selectman from 1636
to 1640, but he appears to have incurred the displeasure of his
fellow-citizens, as we find that April 4, 1654, he was fined for
neglect of public worship " 14 Sabbaths each 5s. = £3. 10 s."
and March 14, 1659, John Warren was to be warned for not
attending public worship. The record added " But old Warren
is not to be found in town." The date of his death we have not
at hand. In a very elaborate genealogy of the Warren family,
Prof. John C. Warren traced the descent of John Warren from

480 THE BIGELOW FAMILY.

William the Conqueror, and we would give the direct line as
given from the above authority, and the line as extended back
to the Saxon incursion into England in A. D. 495, as also back
through the royal liues of France, Germany and Italy. The
authorities for these lists, besides the Warren genealogy above
mentioned, are Burke's Peerage, Duncan's Dukes of Normandy,
Palgraves' History of Normandy and England, Prof. Fisher's
Outlines of History, Hume's History of England, and various
encyclopaedias.

It will be seen from these tables that the blood of the royal
lines of England, France, Germany and Italy flows in the veins
of the Bigelows and Warrens.

*William de AVarren, the first of the name, was one of the
Norman barons who fought at the battle of Hastings. He took
