Dear Rod:
I am so delighted to have found the
family web site. As I am a novice at genealogy, your site
has been a terrific resource!
My line comes down through Andrew (6) Bigelow. His daughter, Mary
Bigelow
(15133.27), marries John Norcross in 1818. Their daughter,
Anne Mary
Norcross , marries Joab Woodward in 1858. Their daughter,
Ida May Woodward
marries my great- grandfather, Edwin E. Johnson in 1886. The
rest is
history!
As I am a member of a DAR chapter, I plan
to do a supplemental for Andrew, as he served in the Revolutionary
War.
Would love to have copies of source
documentation (including title pages) for Andrew Bigelow and his
first wife, Sarah Fawcett, for their births, date of marriage, and
their deaths. If you know
of anyone who has this information available, please let me know
and I will
contact them. As I collect more on this line, I will send it
to you
to be added to the Bigelow history.
Again, it is truly my pleasure to be
completing another branch of the family tree!
Sincerely,
Fran Pittman
