John Day 6 BIGELOW

16312.4     John Day 6 son of David 5 (David 4, Lt. John 3, Joshua 2, John 1) and Patience (FOOTE) BIGELOW, was born 23 July 1770 in that part of Glastonbury later known as Marlborough, Hartford co, CT. He married (1) on 25 September 1796, Sarah BUELL, daughter of William and Sarah (HORSFORD) BUELL. She was born 06 July 1774 at Hebron, CT. They lived a few years at Hebron, Tolland co, then moved to Marlborough. Sarah died there 20 May 1832. John D. then married (2) 25 February 1835 Jemima CARRIER, who died 18 October 1846, aged 63 years. John D. was a farmer. Howe's Bigelow genealogy states he had no issue, but this is an error, as he simply outlived his children. He died 30 December 1870, just past his one-hundredth birthday.
     There was mention of John D. in the obituary of Elizabeth 6 : "was the last survivor of this large family, and attained a greater age than any other member of it. John D. Bigelow, her cousin, lived to the ripe age of 100 years, 5 months, and 7 days. His centennial was celebrated with much enthusiasm at his home in Marlborough, CT., July 23rd, 1870".
