Descendant note:
Joseph BIGELOW whose dau Annis married in 1791 Benjamin KEYES, b
4/15/1768.
Annis & Benjamin were my 4th gr grandparents, I think. Also, I
note from Bigelow records that Reuben KEYES married in 1790, Olive
BIGELOW
also dau of Joseph BIGELOW. I believe Reuben KEYES was brother of
Benjamin,
above. Would like to confirm. The BIGELOW home page is outstanding; a
winner!
