I
noticed in your Bigelow data that you have a Hester
who married an ?? unknown Sanders in Peru New York. That was very early
to
be in the area; I know of my own family in that area and there were
at
least two others in the area at the time turn of the century. Do you
have any
more information on Hester than what is in the data base? This is a
puzzle I
would like to work on. Jean Sanders
P.S. there is a Bigelow connection to my mother's family but
they stayed in
MA... I am looking for the connection to my father's Sanders line.

Subject: Second wife of Austin Bigelow - Mary D. HAYWARD
Rod:
Last summer I was researching the names on the stained glass windows in
Willsboro - at the Old Stone Church - Congregational Church for the 175th
anniversary of the church. One of the names was Hayward - and a sister to
the named person is Mary D. Hayward, daughter of Daniel Hayward and Lucy
Pray Straight. Mary was b. in Willsboro, Essex Co., NY 1823 in a stone house
on Willsboro Point and d. Keeseville in 1869. She is the "Mary _______" Austin
Bigalow's second wife.
If Hester died 1842 - then your #16164.456 GEORGE ALLEN BIGELOW b. 1845
would be the son of Mary and Austin.
Since this was not the particular line I was working on I didn't try to
find a marriage date. However, it would have been after Hester's death in
1842.
By the way -- Restland, Dallas, TX is a cemetery NOT a town. We live just
up the road from the cemetery in Plano, Collin Co., TX.
More:
Forgot to mention that Mary D. Hayward is buried in the Hayward plot in
the Gilliland Cemetery [Rt. 22 - Willsboro, Essex Co, NY] and her stones
reads: under "Bigelow - Mary D. Hayward d. January 28, 1869 age 45 - wife
of Austin {Bigelow}".
