This is what stopped me.

The last line on the Monument Plaque. Col. Timothy Bigelow.

 

Now comes the "Rest of the Story".

When visiting my folks several weeks later, I sat down to read a couple of magazines. As I reached down to the basket to get a magazine, a name caught my eye. Col Tim Bigelow's name was staring back at me from an open page of the "Forge". I spent the next hour reading and re-reading the story of is life.

As it turns out our common ancestor is Samuel(2) - (I think). So Tim and I are very distant relation, but some how on that one hot summer day in Valley Forge we met. Oh, one other thing . The voice that called to me by the old entrance at Valley Forge. It had an old New England accent! Hummmmm

 


Some of the pictures of the arch.
