Hello! I hope you can provide some data missing from my genealogy
of the Colburn family. My husband's great great grandfather, Ephraim
Colburn,b.Jan. 1, 1777 in Leominster, Mass. married Hannah Bigelow,
Daughter of Nathaniel Bigelow and Susannah Jennings. She was
born in 1780. The marriage took place in Leominster on Aug. 17, 1800.
Among the children born of this marriage, were 2 sons named Ephraim.
The first was born in Feb. 1803 and apparently died young. The second,
my husband's great grandfather was born May 20, 1821, but where?
The published genealogy of the Colburn family ends our line with the firstborn
Ephraim. Would like to document the place of birth of our Ephraim since
all we have at present are family Bible records. Any information would
be most appreciated. Thank you! (see
below)

Dear Rod: I wrote to you some years ago seeking some
info on the marriage of Hannah Bigelow to Ephraim Colburn. A
recent query from another Colburn researcher sent me back to my old files.
There seems to be a difference of opinion regarding the mother of Hannah
Bigelow. My sources list her as Susannah Jennings, who died after giving
birth to 4 children, after which Nathaniel Bigelow married Anne Rider in 1782.
- that information is in the Framingham MA Vital records up to 1850.
My correspondent insists that Susannah died in 1773, thus, she could not
have been the mother of Hannah. I don't expect you to settle the dispute,
but I HAVE completed the genealogy of Ephraim and Hannah Bigelow Colburn
and will be happy to share it if you want to add it to your Bigelow Society
Genealogy.
Best Wishes,
