Marshall Bigelow (b 17 Aug 1774, d 11 Dec 1849) m Elizabeth P. Hill(b
23 Mar 1778, d 7 Oct 1846) bef 1800. Both are
buried in the Old Colony Cemetery in Granville. Licking Co, OH. Lucy
m Samuel Dunlap(1810-1886) 2 Dec 1842 in Licking co OH. Marshall and Elizabeth
had six children including Lucy, b 30 Mar 1817, d 6 Sep 1886. The Bigelow
family may have migrated to OH from New England. Looking for the parents
of Marshall and Elizabeth. The Lucy Bigelow I am researching is of the
right age to be the unidentified daughter of Marshall and Elizabeth Hill
Bigelow as shown on your web page. Lucy was my wife's GGGrandmother. The
information I have connecting Lucy to Marshall and Elizabeth came from
my wife's aunt, now deceased. I have to do a little more digging to determine
her source.
Do you have any information about Elizabeth Clark Hill's family?
