(Much of the data on the above 9 families of Abel 6 was collected by a descendant
of Abel's son, Levi. LaVerne Brown, of Detroit Conservatory of Music, was
so impressed by tales of his family's pioneering days that he spent his spare
time interviewing and researching. In the 1930's, he distributed a mimeographed
booklet to all of his relatives, in which he also related their ancestry on
several lines. These manuscripts are still extant around the family and it
is from them that we have collected dates, corroborating them from tombstones,
county records, etc. since Brown's book, written strictly for the family,
had no proof-of-date, so necessary to the genealogist. It is regrettable that
LaVerne Brown left few places of death among his records).

From: "Stan Wickman" <cownabor@htdconnect.com>
Tried to use the search engine that pops up when I click the
link. Susan Mary Capen and Levi Houghton Bigelow both brought me the web
site for GO.COM. ????
I signed your guest book and explained my mission there. L.
H. Brown did an exhaustive survey of the Bigelows and reported his notes
in a
letter dated 21 August 1931. I have a copy of the original here. My father
appears in it.
Sometime ago, I visited your web site and learned that
Brown's report had been included for reference. Today, I can find neither
hide
nor hair of his report.
What am I doing wrong?
I am having trouble reading his "Notes on the Capen Line"
beginning on page 12 of his report. Has anyone entered this info in your
database? How might I find it? I just met (via email) a descendent of Levi
Houghton
BIGELOW and Susan Mary CAPEN. I had hoped to be able to refer him to the
page on which these data appear.
I shall refer him anyway to your web site, but I am curious
as to the present state of affairs. Several of the links I tried found
the target is missing.
