What a pleasure it was to stumble upon
your
site while researching my Warren ancestors. I am a member of
the
DAR under my patriot relative Bigelow
Lawrence,
whose lineage
looks like this: he was the son of Samuel Lawrence b
Jan 1710/11 in Sherburne, MA and Patience Bigelow b Jan
1733/34
in Killingly, CT. She was the daughter of James
3 Bigelow b May 1668 d Aug 1718 and
Mercy. He was the son of James
2
Bigelow b 1660 in Watertown, MA and Patience Brown b Mar
1668/9
Sherburne, MA and d in Shaftsbury, VT. He was the son of John 1 Biglo and
Mary Warren whose names you
probably
recognize.
Bigelow settled in Marcellus,
Onondaga,
NY after the war and was granted lots of land. My family
still
lives
in that town today, and all the generations are buried
there. I
have
recently started to look for more information on this line of the
family,
I studied the Lawrence line while doing my DAR research and have
found
much
interesting information.
I wanted to introduce myself, I am an
avid
genealogist. I live in Memphis, TN after growing up in
Marcellus,
which isn't too far from
where you are. Let me know if I can offer you any
information. I
recently
came across a GEDCOM that listed the Warren line back to the
Warren's
of
medieval England, do you know if there is accurate proof of this
line? I'll share it with you if you haven't seen it. I
am
extremely interested in medieval history although I'd consider my
specialty in genealogy in the colonial New England era. Nice
to
meet you, cousin! Mary Ellen Popyk

Great web site...... I didn't get far enough to see you had
Patience
and Bigelow in there the first time. I have all the
information
on Bigelow's children, taken from both the Lawrence genealogy
(pertaining to the Central New York Lawrence's) as well as the
gravestones in the Village Cemetery in Marcellus. I can fill
in
almost all the blanks on Bigelow Lawrence's family.
You are missing my ancestor Dorastus Lawrence (son of Bigelow and
Asenath) who married a distant cousin of his mother's (their
last
names were both Curtis). Thanks for such a great source of
information. Until
later! Mary Ellen Popyk

Bigelow was a Captain and Major in the Revolutionary War, and was of a regiment in the NY militia in the War of 1812. About 1778 he removed to Shaftsbury, VT from CT and about 1795 to Marcellus. He bought soldiers claims and acquired considerable land in the county. Of his 14 children 12 marriedand settled near Marcellus. The first 9 children were born in Simsbury, CT. They are:

Here is the additional information that I have. It was taken
from
"A Lawrence Family of Onondaga County, NY" compiled by Dr. LA
Cheney
amplified from data collected by Ella F. Lawrence and Lucelia T.
Lawrence; 1934.
The page on Samuel and Patience Bigelow Lawrence uses the following sources in addition to the Bigelow genealogy: Crissey's Hist. Norfolk; Mills Genealogy; Records of Concord, Killingly, Simsbury, etc; CT Men in the Revolution.
Samuel Lawrence died 10 Par 1793 in Norfolk, CT. Patience was born 16 Feb 1798, and it states she died in Shaftsbury, VT where her son Bigelow was living at the time. I will investigate that fact further.
Son Bigelow married Asenath Curtis and died 21 Jan 1818 in Marcellus, Onondaga, NY. More information on him to follow.
Next child wasn't a daughter (as many have assumed by the name) but a son named Ariel. He also served in the Revolution. He m Lucy Wilcox and removed to Onondaga County, NY where late in life he married brother Bigelow's widow, Asenath.
Daughter Sarah b 12 Sep 1745 I have listed as named Patience and married Jacob Barber. I will look into this also.
Other daughter Sarah b 31 Jul 1750 m David Barber.
Daughter Zerviah married Edward Case.
Son James m Lois Fuller.
Anyone interested in more info on this family please feel free to
contact me, I have much more information on them as Bigelow
