Descendant note:
I noted in your Bigelow information that you identified as a source of
your information a particular reference: Grudy, Learned
Genealogy. Could you please advise where I might find a
copy of this. Thanks.
Also, I noted a few inconsistancies with some of your Learned
information, some of which may be found referenced in Learned
Genealogy, 2nd Ed, 1898, by William Law Learned, namely:
1) Sarah's husband, Isaac Learned, was born September 16th (not
Oct 5th), 1655, in Chelmsford, MA, (not Watertown).
2) Their son, Isaac, b May 10, 1680 died May 15th (not 20th),
1753 (not 1735). The 20th date was when his will was read.
With regard to John Bigulah and the book about the King Philip's
War ( see Soldiers, info on soldiers of
King Phillip's War) by Bodge, John was called to service, but did
not actually serve. At age 58 he was most likely too old to fight
indians and that he may have offered his son, Joshua, instead to serve
in his place. For example, Isaac Learned who got wounded and
Joshua were both 20 years old at the time.
On February 27th, 1679, Isaac bought the 40 acre farm of Thomas
Eames adjacent to a small pond, which today still bears his name,
Learned
Pond, in Framingham, MA. Six months later he married Sarah, the
daughter of his neighbor, John Bigelow and the younger sister of his
compatriot,
Joshua, from the King Philip's War.
Isaac's son, Isaac III may have honored this (perhaps even undieing
graditude for saving his father's life), since he named his first son
Joshua, saving the name Isaac IV for his second son. This,
however, I can not substantiate.
I can tell from John B. Sr.'s will that he may have had a unique
relationship with both Joshua and Isaac, as he named them both
executors of his will and split 2/3's of his estate to Josuah and 1/3'd
to his son-in-law, Isaac Learned.
Sincerely, Frederick D. Learned (13th generation)

The following lists of men impressed in several towns where Capt.
Davenport's company was raised will serve to identify many of the
names. Of course, many impressed were either excused for disability or
escaped from the service in
some other manner. The returns were dated from Nov. 25 t0 Dec. 3, 1675.
