I just located your article of Ezra 5 Bigelow
and I believe I am a direct decendant of him - information I
received from Pat Bigelow in
1984. Where things tend to be a little gray is with one of
his sons (either Enos or Joseph). Do you have any additional
information on them?
In particular, I am trying to determine which gentleman is the
father of
Alfred Bigelow (1795-1860's). Alfred married Susanna Murlin
and lived
in Kentucky.
Again, just wanted to say hello and I appreciated your
information/article on Ezra.
Thanks.

New Note 2023:
Hello, I found the Bigelow Society site, love it! I
believe that I am related to
Alfred>Joseph>Ezra>David>Lt. John>Joshua>John.
My family history says that Alfred and Susannah Murlin had a
daughter, Sinai, between their first two sons--David and
George. Sinai (Sarah? Sina Ann?) b. June 5, 1824, Kentucky,
married Wm Harner in Ohio, then Robert McGregor in Illinois and
finally to John Robinson in Illinois. Their son, Phillip Daniel
Robinson was my great-grandfather. Do you have anything about
Sinia?
