Hello....I really enjoyed the photo of my great-great-grandfather, reverend Andrew Bigelow. One of his daughters, Amelia, was my great-grandmother. I am interested in any more photos of the Bigelow family and am also planning a trip to northern NY this summer and would be interested in meeting more Bigelows! Please feel free to contact me. thanks!

Notes: censuses 1800, 1810, Mary Ruth JUDD has contributed most of this material, and it is through her early research that I first became aware of James and Lucretia BIGELOW. I visited the Potsdam LDS Genealogy Research Center in 1994 and found a small file folder with her early notes, etc. She had made up an ancestral chart from Phoebe Ermina to John 1 , photocopies of old tintypes of the family, reprints of an article in Forge on Silas Wright, photocopy of Memoriam of Marianne (which recalls her parents), and a funeral sermon for Andrew Frank (which also narrates the life of James and Lucretia).

     Ran across this site looking for Magoon data. There is a misspelling of Egbert Magoon who married Amelia Albina Bigelow. Can that be corrected? If anyone is interested I can provide the ancestry for Egbert Magoon and also for Marion Purmort, wife of Rev Andrew Frank Bigelow. Thank you, Mary Woodman.

Obituary from Franklin Gazette July-Sept 1891:
The death of Mrs. Marion A. Bigelow,
mother of Frank and Dr. Blake Bigelow,
which occurred last week, removes
from our midst a lady of many Christian
virtues and one whose poetic and literary
ability was well known and recognized.
Mrs. Bigelow was the author of several
volumes of poems, besides being a regular
contributor to several religious and
secular periodicals, and through a long
life of trial and adversity preserved a
simple faith and serenity of life which
won for her the sympathy and respect of
all who knew her. Her age was 69
years.
