I am enjoying your web site. In fact, copying some of the details for
a family member as I type. My family is descended from
Samuel Allen Bigelow. In fact Allen has been the middle name of male family
members for generations. Wanted you to know that family lore has it that Rachel
Allen, Samuels mother, was the daughter of the great hero Ethan Allen. Have
not confirmed it myself. Thought maybe you had run accross this in your research.
More:
My mother's maiden name is Bigelow.
Her line is
Samuel Allen Bigelow m. Maria Almy
Reverend Albert Bigelow(1827-1892) m. Maria Storrs (1828-1908)
Lucius Seymour Bigelow (1859-??) m Sarah Esther Harris (18??-1944)(family
founded Harrisburg,Pa)(Lucius Seymour had a brother, Allen Gilman Bigelow)
Allen Caryl Bigelow (1894-1985) m Charlotte Cook (1895-1973)(my grandparents)
My name is Susan Henderson.

Hello,
I am hoping you may have some information on Elizabeth Ames Bigelow. She
was my GGGG-GM through her first marriage to Robert Barkley Ames. He died
in 1813.
Elizabeth married Ira Bigelow in 1815.
I have some info on her if you are interested.
She married for a third time after the death of Ira Bigelow.
Thank you,

descended from Elizabeth Mosier Ames through her dau Amea Ames Ransom
Amea Ames and John Ransom m. Livingston Co NY and migrated to Geauga County
Ohio.
Ira Bigelow married Elizabeth Mosier Ames in Livonia NY.
2nd marriage for both. It was in a newspaper dated April 12, 1815.
Her first husband was Robert Barkley Ames.They had several children. I am
descended from one.
Elizabeth and Ira had 2 children that I know about- Rachel
b. 1816 and Ira b. 1818. After Ira's death they moved to Geauga County Ohio.
Elizabeth had adult children living there.
Elizabeth Mosier Ames Bigelow married a third time to a Mr Pease. We believe
that she was from or else lived in CT. Amea
Ames (her daughter) was supposed to have been born in CT on 28 Sep 1789,
married John Ransom 12 Dec 1805 in Caledonia,
Ontario Co NY. Several of Elizabeth's children migrated to Geauga Co Ohio
prior to 1815.

Hello Rod,
It was brought to my attention that I had a name/typo mistake in the following
message and it makes it confusing and it is incorrect.
I typed: Elizabeth married Ira Bingham in 1815. Should read Ira Bigelow
.
I would appreciate you correcting my mistake.
Your site is a wonderful and informative resource.
Thank you,
Sandi Ransom Stoklosa

Rod,
I am sending the information we have regarding Rachel Bigelow.
Please put it in whatever format that works for your site.
Some of these men and women who were never married -or - died without issue
get left out of family histories. My ancestor
was not a Bigelow, but they shared the same mother.
Thank you,
Sandi Ransom Stoklosa

NOTE:
They were found on the 1840 Federal Census in Geauga Co, OH.
I have an abstract with just the ages/sex:
Eri Mastick 1 male 30-40; one female 20-30; one female 60-70
No children on this census.
I have an abstract of the 1850 Federal Census in Geauga Co, OH.
Rachel is deceased and Eri is remarried:
Eri Mastick 38 m Farmer $1,000
S.A. Mastick 22 f
still no children in 1850.
My conclusion is that Rachel did not have any children.(S.A. Mastic was
her niece )
