Hi Rod,
 My name is Diana and I don't think we've corresponded before but I'm a DAY researcher and I have many Bigelow names in my file. I've looked at your site before and you've done a wonderful job.
 I'm contacting you today because I want to make you aware of some info I came across about a Mary (Polly) Bigelow. She was born 11 Nov 1782 to Elisha Bigelow & Wealthy Gorton. She married first William Perkins and second Trumbull Ackley, son of Joseph Ackley & Hannah Archer.
 Mary B. (Bigelow) Ackley is buried in the Densmore Hill Cemetery, Hartland, Windsor, VT. You can view this info on the Hartland Historical Society web site at www.hartlandhistory.org Click on their cemetery section & the Densmore Hill Cemetery. She's listed there under Ackley, Mary (Bigelow)
 I was recently reviewing this site and the Ackley surname peeked my interest. I descend from Ephraim Day who married Sarah Ackley. I had Trumbull Ackley listed in my file but not married to Mary Bigelow.
 I tried to mail you this info but it was returned. If you have any further questions you can contact me at DCaspersMom@aol.com

I only have one child listed for Mary & William, but I know they had other children I just didn't list them. The one I did list was Laura Perkins  15951.51  , born 30 Nov 1802. She married Franklin Bigelow    159B1.11   on 22 May 1825 in Reading, VT. This marriage is listed in the Early Marriages of Reading. Franklin Bigelow was born 21 Jul 1798, Reading, VT. and died 9 Aug 1852 in Troy, Walworth, WI. Franklin & Laura were first cousins. Franklin was the son of Elijah Bigelow, the brother of Mary.
 
I have no children listed for Mary (Bigelow) Perkins & Trumbull Ackley. Mary was a widow in 1820 and Trumbull's wife, Eunice died in 1828. They probably married some time after the 1828 date. Mary would have been in her late 40's and maybe past child bearing. Even if they married in 1830 they still had a long marriage of over 30 years because they didn't die until the 1860's. There might be a will for Trumbull in Reading, VT. since he died before Mary.
 
The Densmore Hill Cemetery does list Mary (Bigelow) Ackley as the wife of Trumbull Ackley and the relic of William Perkins.
 
Parents of Mary (Polly) Bigelow were;
 
Elisha Bigelow 1752 - 1826
Wealthy Gorton 1753 - 1813
 
1790 Federal census lists Elisha Bigelow in Reading, Windsor, VT.
(m-u-16) 2   (m-o-16) 2   (F) 3   total 7 page 37
Elisha's brother Noah is also listed in Reading, Vt. 1790
Parents of Trumbull Ackley are also listed in the 1790 federal census, Reading, Windsor, Vt.
(m-u-16) 1   (m-o-16) 2   (F) 3   (total) 6  page 37
I hope this info helps. I will broaden my search on Clarence Bigelow family to Canada.
I was born and raised in Cattaraugus & Erie Co., NY. My Day line were pioneers there. I descend from the Robert Day line. He was a pioneer of Hartford, CT. This line married several Bigelow's and so did other surnames related to the Day's.
Some of those surnames; Ackley, Barnes, Beebe, Bigelow, Botsford, Chamberlain, Chapin, Day (Robert, Ralph & Anthony), Fuller, Foote, Ely, Hadley, Hungerford, Kellogg, Loomis, Remington, Rice, Sanford, Spencer, Steffenhagen and Weast.
 
If you need Day info I have a large file. Let me know if you get any further info on Trumbull & Mary.
