Freedom⁸ Bigelow

15923.483 Freedom⁸ Bigelow, son of Ittia⁷ (Freedom⁶, Isaac⁵, Isaac⁴, Isaac³, Samuel², John¹) and Mary (Hyzer) Bigelow, was born in Madison county, OH on 31 March 1833 and on 13 June 1851 married Elizabeth Hobbes (or Hobbs). She was the daughter of Joseph and Charlotte ( ________ ) Hobbes (or Hobbs). and was born on 09 May 1833 in Madison county, OH. It is not known when Freedom and his family moved, but by 1880 they were living in Paulding county, OH and there Freedom eventually became blind. He died on 26 January 1908 at Latty, Paulding, OH and was then a widower so we assume that she died some time after 1904 and before 1908.
