Subject: Documents Regarding Russel Bigelow Circuit Riding Preacher
Date: Thu, 11 Feb 2010 19:20:25 -0500

Hi Mr. Bigelow,

I am the eldest son of Tim Janzen from Portland, OR. I am doing a
research paper on Russel Bigelow (the Methodist Circuit-riding preacher
1793-1835) for one of my upper level courses in my History degree at
Patrick Henry College in Purcellville, VA. 

I am wondering if you would have access to any original documents
written by Russel Bigelow such as letters, sermons, etc, or where to
find them. 

Also, do you know any Bigelow relatives who might have such documents
in their possession, or who live in Columbus, Ohio and would be willing
to look through the archives for original documents by Bigelow?

Any way you could help me would be greatly appreciated.

Hello Rod,
I am hoping you can help me. I am descended from Warren K Bigelow, born 
about 1800 in Oneida, NY, and cannot locate parents for him.  They were 
born in CT.
He had a brother Samuel, born about 1812, and he died in 1886 in Scott, 
Ogle County, IL. His wife was Nancy Crill.
The spelling of their name varies, but is often "Bigalow."
I hope you can provide some insights - and thanks for a great website!

I am trying to locate a portrait owned by Horace Bigelow.  He had 14  
portraits by Edwin Billings.  He donated 13 to the Worcester  
Historical Society but they rejected 3, including one of Burnham  
Wardwell (my great, great grandfather).  H. H. Bigelow was a big  
supporter of his.  Do you know of anyone who might have any records  
(wills, records of art, etc.) that could help me find out what  
happened to the portrait?  Do you know of the best place to post such a request?

Hello Rod,
My husbands adoptive mother was Elva Jane Bigelow, and grandfather George Edgar Bigelow. I haven't been able to access the Canadian portion of the Bigelow Family site to see where George might fit in.  There are living descendants of George and Florence through daughter Audrey still living in the Pacific NW.  Is there any truth to the tale of 7 Bigelow brothers fleeing Scotland in the 1800's to scatter across North America?  Was Georges' father perhaps one of them?  Thanks, Susie Ford

Subject: Freeman Genealogy

From: "John Bircher" <john@bircher.us>

Rod:  I have been researching the Freeman ancestry for about 7 years now and am looking for ancestors for Asahel Freeman, b. abt. 1732, Shrewsbury, Monmouth County, New Jersey.  He married Mary Morris in Shrewsbury on 27 Dec 1757.
I noticed on your web page reference to an Asahel Freeman Bigelow, and found the name too familiar to ignore.  I’m wondering whether he might have descended from my Asahel Freeman?  Asahel and Mary had 8 children, including Morris (b. 12/5/1757); Marssey (b. 11/19/1758); Ledia (b. 1/22/1761); Richard (b. 3/2/1763); Essec (b. 9/20/1764); Anne (b. 8/3/1766); James (b. 8/5/1770); and, Silus. 
Any assistance you can provide would be greatly appreciated.  Obviously, I am willing to share whatever I have.
Warm Regards ,  John Bircher

Mr Bigelow,
I am locating for a Saskatchewan mineral rights title holder named Nathan Hubbard Bigelow. Might this be the same individual in your family tree?

From: "Ron Jobin" <rjobin37@msn.com>
Your web site is wonderful.
I found it on the web as I was researching the Holden family.
There is a  Holden branch in my family, however, I've not been able
to trace any connections to older generations beyond a George Holden who
was born in New York in 1857. He apparently worked or owned a brickyard that
provided stone for the Brooklyn Bridge in NYC.
Do you have any knowledge of him
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks
