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

17, 1S23 ; married, May 24, 1848, Eunice Ann, eldest daughter
of Emerson and Lydia (Bigelow) Howe; born in Marlborough,
Feb. 16, 1831. 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 contiuued 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, and 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, E. I.,
the Penitentiaries at Albany and 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 retired 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 Ephraira and
Polly (Brigbani) 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 always
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 in 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

J-1886. Erastus B. Bigelow, son of Ephraim and Polly
is born in West Boylston, Mass., April 2,
' <ther being a man of small means he early learned
work, attending the district school in winter and working on
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 lu was enabled to attend a neighboring academy and
ined 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-
crisis of 1837 ended the scheme. He next turned his atten-
tion to a power loom to weave coach lace, which contrary to the
dictions of experts proved to be a decided success, and this
was his fi] uanent step towards prosperity; having at this
tin i his brother Horatio in company with him. He next
. his attention to the weaving of carpets and invented the
rpet loom by which his name became so widely known;
although this by no means completed the list of inventions which
given to the world. Of the fifty patents that were taken
out by Mj Big the larger portion of them were directly or in-
directly conn--, cl ith the textile art. He has severally invented
and pur into operation, the first successful power looms for
weaviug < wire cloth, ingrain, tapestry, Brussels and
Wilton ca] He exhibited samples of his
power loom ! ig at the Exhibition in London
51, and received the highest award, from which his inventions
GENEALOGY. 33
o
were in demand in England. In addition to his inventions and
improvements in the weaving of carpets, he made many other
valuable improvements and inventions in power looms for weav-
ing counterpanes and ginghams , as well as other branches of the
textile art. In 1853 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 son. 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, 1<-
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:

to correct erroneous 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,
I a few weeks later Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Pleni-
potentiary to the Court of Napoleon III. His mission was
GENEALOOY. 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 French Army
from Mexico in 1867. He resigned 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 l-v
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
- -^tem 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, Win. C. Bryant, which is to be published by Houghton &
Mifflin 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,

H. Avery ; he being recorded as a resident of Selma, Ala. He
went to Texas in the days of the Republic and settled in Browns-
ville, and when the Mexican War broke out, he entered the ser-
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 ;
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 bush,
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. Fewr 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.

412 THE BIGELOW FAMILY.
1603-3023. Edwin M. Bigelow, son of Levi and Ni
(Ames) Bigelow born in Marlborough, Mass., March 26,
182o. 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., 185
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 io 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 she? 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 Avon a large fortune.
Of course shoe manufacturing was the early dream of I
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-
fe J6.jJr
GENEALOGY. 413
plished wonders 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 cxpem
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 any thrifty young man to own a house for himself
and dear ones. While busy with these important enterpris
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, band concerts and various attractions offered from time

to time, h< ible to furnish pleasant amusement to thousands
i 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 Howre. She died Sept. 25, 1857. He mar-

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 eugaged 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, be was chosen as
its first Treasurer, which office he held up to the time of his
death, Dec. 6, 1886. He was deeply interested in the welfare
of the Universalist 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 :

Havi o., which was theu under the manage-
ment of his uncle Asahel Pierpont. Here his apprenticeship
was finished, and he afterwi i ntered the employ of Ives &
ith; 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. ( iyprian
"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

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
rity 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 fox-
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-enrinently that of a business

APPENDIX.
The following 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
indulged 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 (Hammc;
Bigelow of Weston, baptized Aug. o, 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 :
kding ; is said to have been at one time a Mayor of San Francisco.

Horace; resided in Vermont.

Maranda Church, and now resides at Sutton. Their children
were :

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 son 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
t Winchendon, where he lived several years. He married Sally
Wales and resided in Winchendon until 1804, when he is said to
have removed to Weathersfleld, Vt. From the Records of
Winchendon and family tradition we learn the following in
regard to his family :
Grate, b. Oct. 19, 1796.
f Joseph, b. May 6, 1798; m. and had a family.
John, &. Jan. 31, U
Louis, b. May 18, 1802.

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 buski'

Enos; perhaps the Enos Bigelow who m. 1839, Emily Bennett,
daughter of Amos Bennett of Bichmond, 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 :

466 THE BIGELOW FAMILY.
308-774. Ebenezer Bigelow, son of Paul and Hannah
(Ober) Bigelow, was born in Westborough or Upton, Mass.,
Oct. 18, 1762. (His birth is recorded in both towns.) When
he was about sixteen years old he moved to Brookline, Vt., with

Samuel Bigelow. Concerning this Samuel Bigelow we find
that we cannot as yet connect Mm 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
or Massachusetts, but they could not trace him further. We
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 cai-penter'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 Wilinot 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 B? CHARLES H. W. WOOD OF BOSTON, MASS.
The first marriag3 recorded on the Watertown Records is that
of John Bigulah (o; 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 tc have emigrated to this country about 1630,
and was forty- five years of age when he came. We learn that
in 1635 hi -fiected 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 lines 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,
Paigraves' 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 Warren, the first of the name, was one of the
Norman barons who fought at the battle of Hastings. He took
his name from the fief of Varenne or Warenne in Normandy.
He received from the Conqueror two hundred and ninety-eight
manors in England, and at his death was buried in the abbey of
Lewes in Sussex, which he had founded. His descendants,
Earls of Warren and Surrey, held the very highest rank in Eng-
land and Normandy. The following is the Norman line of
