Subject: My interesting Bigelow connections

From: "william timmer" < wat@ejourney.com

Let me start by telling you my name is Cherri Lynn Stocking
Timmer,
I have been searching my family history on the Stocking side for quite
some time now. I have had my fathers side of the Genealogy for
awhile
now. My fathers line stems from the Jared (as listed at this site
as Jerrod) I have done a lot of research on this family, I have
many
interesting stories I have obtained on them and I am also
in the progress of putting together a story on this family in
the Antrim Historical Society in Antrim Michigan. In
Elk Rapids, Michigan this family was among some of the first settlers
in
this region. The Name of Jared Stocking had been misspelled even
in the Stocking Ancestry. I have follow his whereabouts in
various
places in Michigan. In most places where he resided,
he
is referred to mainly as Jared Stocking. Now as to the Son of
Jared
Stocking and Lucy Bigelow, Listed as Perry his correct name is Oliver
Perry
and went by his middle name, I have numerous historical stories
on
my Great Grandfather, Oliver Perry Stocking was married to Laura
Ann Kimball in Elk Rapids Michigan on 4 August 1857 Meguzee (Elk
Rapids)
Michigan. They had a son by the name of Richard Clark Stocking
married
Margerie May Rank whom are my Grandparents, They married on 29
May
1926 Elk Rapids, Michigan. They had a son whom is my father
Richard
Clark Stocking Jr. whom married my Mother Connie Lou Cole in 1958
Lansing,
Ingham County, Michigan. There was three children born from this
union;
Cherri Lynn Stocking born 28 Mar 1959 Lansing, Michigan
Richard Clark Stocking III 31 May 1960 Lansing, Michigan
Kimberly Ann Stocking 12 Dec 1961
Lansing, Michigan
Now let me explain the reason I am writing you not only to
give
you correct information regarding Lucy Bigelow and Jared Stocking's
family
and my connection to the Bigelow line from my fathers side. I
have
presently learned searching my Mothers side of the family I have a
Second
Bigelow connection, and I thought this to be very interesting to the
Bigelow
Society. So let me begin with my Lucy side first because this is
where my second line connects to my mothers side. My Mother and
Father
were not aware of this family connection when they married and my
father
is no longer living and my Mother was in shock when I told her what I
have
learned searching her side of the family history. But I have
found
this both amusing and most interesting.

and Dorothy (OTIS) BIGELOW, was born at Colchester, New London

Jarnes
and Sarah (Treadway) Ransom. He was born 17 Feb 1730 at Colchester.
They

leaving 8 children, and Sarah married (2) 28 Apr 1774 Ichabod Hopkins,
son of Timothy and Jemima (Scovill) Hopkins. He was born 7 Dec 1744
probably
at Waterbury, CT, and died 20 Oct 1819 at Great Barrington. After his
death,
Sarah acted as a midwife for many years and assisted at the birth of

than 150 infants, usually travelling on horseback, and many times
having

vicinity
of Buffalo, and died 10 Aug 1831 at Amherst, Erie county, NY.

Lansing, Michigan
So TWO sons of John Bigelow and Mary Warren are in my
line
and TWO Daughters of the Thomas Flagg and Mary Gershom are in my
line.
So on my Father's side Samuel and Mary Flagg are my 7th Great
Grandparents
on my Mother's Side Joshua and Elizabeth Flagg are my are my
9th Great Grandparents
I just wanted to make the Bigelow Family aware of this Lineage
and how it connects to the other,
Sincerely,
Cherri Lynn Stocking Timmer and proud of all my family lineage
and this unusual and remarkable connection I am sure will be of much
amusement
and discussion in my family.
