From: Frances Kakos <Cheech@ime.net>
Could you please give me any information on the marriage of Mary Ann
Bigelow (7) #16117.31-dau of Asa 6 Bigelow
( Asa 5 , Joshua 4, Joshua
3, Joshua 2, John1) She was married to Judge
Archibald Bull and they were of Troy, N.Y. My realtionship comes through
Archibald who was my great great grandfather and would make Mary Ann my gggrandmother.
I did not have her name but discovered it through a FTM listing and chasing
down to you. The info connected to the listing is no longer there so
used an URL I discovered. I would appreciate any info you have as
I have little--only that the Judge was the father of my ggrandfather which
is on his death certicate here in Bath, Maine.
Thank you. Cheech (Frances

Obituary of Asa Bigelow - appeared Troy Daily Whig July 24,1849; 3:1.
"In this city on the 20th instant, of a cutaneous disease, with which he
had been
afflicted for several years, ASA BIGELOW, Esq., aged 79 years and 8 months.
The subject of this notice was a native of Brookfield, Mass., from which
place he
removed to Worthington, and followed the business of a merchant; and was
respected for his rigid integrity, and honorable
conduct and probity. He was appointed postmaster at that place, under Thomas
Jefferson. He removed to this city in 1803 or 4,
and for several years was a merchant in company with Consider White, then
a resident here. During a residence here of 45 years,
he has merited the respect and esteem of his numerous acquaintances, and
lived the life of a righteous, godly and upright man.
Possessing peculiar notions on the subject of religion, he never joined
any particular sect; but by his example sought to impress
upon his family and friends, that to seek for truth in all things, and
live as nearly as possible the life of an upright man, would
ensure that reward which is promised to the righteous."

Author: David Cummins dec405@aol.com
Date: 4 Apr 2003 3:35 PM GMT
Asa Bigelow, Adeline's father moved to Troy, NY in 1803/04 from
Worthington, MA. This via his Obit in the Troy
newspapers.
He served as the first Postmaster in Worthington, MA. Appointed
by Jefferson. He served for nine (9) years, and his first
recorded accounting was in 1796. The first stage coach line in the
area was estalished in Dec 1793 and soon thereafter was
the Post Office. So--say 1794 plus nine year gives 1803, the about
year Asa moved to Troy. Adeline's birth place and date
still in LIMBO. She was born 1802/03 WHERE?
The note of Abigail's death was recorded at Worthington, MA, a stop by Asa on the way to Troy, NY from Brooksfield, MA.
In the Vital Records of Worthington, MA it says, W Asa/ Dr of Noah Washburn
of Hartford, CT., 28 Yr 1 M. 10 D. / N G. R. 6.
This means, died at age 28yrs 1 month and 10 days. G.R.6. means gravestone
record, Center Cemetery. There was no
indication of what the "N" meant in the list of abbreviations.

Please add this to the long Asa Bigelow site:
The 1800 census for Worthington, MA.
One male-has to be Asa, 25 under 45
One female-has to be Louisa, under 10
One female-has to be Abigail, 15 under 26
Just three in the house. Makes great sense.
Adeline not born until 1802.
I removed Mary Ann, who married Judge Bull,

From: David Cummins

I have the maiden name of Hannah. Hawkins. Before all I had
was Hannah H
Bigelow. Now I the marriage date, 1826, which proves she could not
be the
mother of Adeline b 1803+/- and Louisa b 1797, two daughters of
Asa with which I
am familiar and in the Troy newspapers. Adeline is my GGGM, married
Nathan
Marble 19 Feb 1822, in Troy and trekked to Port Byron, NY after
the canal was
operational. Adeline was Nathan's second wife, first an Esther.
Wickes?? I know
all about a child of Esther and Nathan. She was an Esther too and
married at 16
to Lemuel Covel Paine Freer Louisa married Joseph Wickes and remained
in
and around Troy.
To repeat, the Troy newspapers have Asa as the father in the marriages
of
Adeline and Louisa.
So, Abigail Washburn has to be the mother of Adeline and Louisa.
Probably born
in Worthington or Cheshire MA. I have been looking at Worthington
and Cheshire.
My luck, so far neither place is on the net for/with decent data.
So, I'll keep on
turning rocks for Adeline's birth data. In the 1850 census she gives
birth state as
MA and 1860 she gives NY. Or was it the other way around? Has to
be MA.
Nathan died in 1868 without a will, but the probate has him worth
$. As NY had a
death tax in those days too, it cost the heirs $5,000 to get their
hands on it.
From several sources I have the following for Asa and Abigail children.
Anson
Wells ?, Amelia ?, Mary Ann, Louisa, Adeline and Asa Washburn. Nothing
for Asa
and Hannah. Anson Wells and Amelia came from Barbour Early Families
of
Hartford, CT.
Looking for birth data re Adeline Bigelow in MA
My Adeline and Louisa data was via what I found in Troy. And,
before I knew about Abigail Washburn. I made a msg to A Streit, due
to his material in LDS CD # 10, and he made me aware
of Abigail and that it would appear that the two daughters were out of
Abigail, not Hannah. So it would seem.
In June 2002, I found the grave markers of Nathan Marble and Adeline in
Port Byron, NY. Adeline's says DEAR
MOTHER-ADELINE-wife of NATHAN MARBLE, DIED Jan. 31, 1874, AGED 72 YEARS.
Both Adeline's and Nathan's markers
are rather fancy well carved marble.
So, just a little cleaning up will lock on the Washburn line. Maybe.
More from David:
OK, you touted me into the direction of different families and it has proved
more than interesting.
The below is what I have run into. How would you sort it out?

=========================================
Guess the best question is, who is Abigail's mother?
There is a marriage of Archibald Bull, Esq married 12/27/27 (this
meaning 1827) Mary Ann Bigelow both of Troy ; Rev. Howard (9-1/1/28)
This was the date of publication--the 9 translating to the source--the
Troy Budget newspaper. I have the book this info is published
in--10,000 Vital Records of Eastern New York--1777-1834. This is
one of
a three volume series drawm from ealy New York newspapers.
The date of William's birth certainly coincides with the marriage date
of Archibald and Mary as he was born 11 Oct. 1827/8.
Archibald Bull could have been married before--which would have nothing
do with the birth of Wm.-- as an announcement from the Detroit Gazette
shows that Mary Bull died 28 Feb 1826--in her 35th year at Troy, NY,
wife of Archibald Bull, sister of Mrs. Doty and Mrs. Rice, who reside in
Mt. Clemens (Michigan?). Another Mary? He probaly married again after
her death.
Also, Archibald Bull 60, lawyer- Mary 38, and William 22,clerk were
shown in the Fed census of Troy in 1850. Mary's age causes
question.
Was she a young mother when she gave birth?
One more confusion is that there was another Archibald Bull, judge who
died when he was 35 in 1820. He is not the Archibald who is mine
as
Wm.--the son---was born later.
What information do you have on Mary Ann Bigelow who married Archibald
Bull, judge? I think the listing I saw on your genealogy gave her
father as Asa--not completely sure, tho. Was there an Asa married
to a
Washburn?
Thank you for any info you may be able to give me.

Here it is!!!!!
Asa married Abigail Washburn.
Hannah, her sister, married Joseph Hawkins. Joseph died. Were there children?
Not in Ancestry. Did Hannah lay them on Abigail, as she was a widow?
Can this be the reason we cannot find Adeline in Worthington and she was
really Hannah's kid and thus a Hawkins?
Abigail died. Asa moved to Troy and later married Hannah (22 Jun 1826).
Hannah Hawkins and Hannah Bigelow both died on the same date.
John Clements, inter alia, found Hannah in New York City working with her
sister Rebecca and then she, Hannah, married a Mr. Bigelow and kind of vanished.
The rocks are a turning.

[From: MChambe486 !
To: DEC405 _ I
I am delighted to hear from you and I do have a little info on Abigail
Washburn. The historian in Troy has been very helpful and I have sent him
the info that I have on the families who lived in Troy.
Asa was a founding member of the Free Masons Lodge in Cheshire Berkshire
MA in 1794. The building is now a museum and there is a plaque there with
the names of both Asa and Consider as founding members. If you write to
the Masonic Lodage in MA they will send you some photos.
In the Troy city directory Asa is listed as a saw filer. From 1840-49 lived
at 48 Ferry St., in a fine Greek revival house which no longer exists. I
have some info on Abigail as follows: Bn Dec 11,1776 in Hartford CT. DOD
Jan 21,1805 Troy NY. She had 2 children, Mary Ann ( no data) and Asa Washburn
Bigelow, DOD Jan 2, 1805.
I can only assume that the baby died at birth and Abigail soon after.
Mary Ann marr Archibald BULL, (1779-1849) on Dec. 27, 1827 in Troy. The
announcement is in the Troy Budget,
June 27.1 got this from the Rensselaer Historical Society.
Asa married Hannah HAWKINS, June 22, 1826 in Troy.
I shall need to go into my files for the resources, through the years I
have had a few crashes and I see that I have not put sources into the program
where I should have.
I am not related to the WASHBURN family except for the fact that Consider
married Sarah so I have not done much work on searching their genealogy.
Only to try to find more about Consider.
Have you read the BIGELOW site? They have a great family genealogy site.
You might pick up something there.
thanks for writing, ,

Hello Cousin Dave.
I think I have Hannah HAWKINS, wife of Asa BIGELOW, fingered.
In your data you have Hannah WASHBURN (dau of Noah) died 19 J? 1858, citing
"Harman Weslee Odom msg 5/5/2003 re bible with Noah Washburn data plus
Bathsheba Sexton etc. Great data."
This Hannah WASHBURN married Joseph HAWKINS according to "Early Hartford
Families" p. 635.
at http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/message/an/surnames.bigelow/264.1
your message shows Hannah H. BIGELOW died 19 Jan 1858 citing the Troy Daily
Whig.
And you say "The H is for Hawkins."
I agree it is HAWKINS. Asa BIGELOW married the sister of his deceased wife
Abigail,
Hannah WASHBURN, widow of Joseph HAWKINS.
Just yesterday I got the work of Helen Graham Carpenter. "The Reverend
John Graham
of Woodbury, Connecticut and his Descendants" [Chicago : The Monastery
Hill Press,
1942], Family History Library, Salt Lake City, Utah microfilm 1321224,
item 3.
The four Washburn sisters sure get around:
Abigail Washburn married Asa Bigelow before 1792. Abigail died 1805.
Hannah Washburn married Joseph Hawkins.
Hepzipah Washburn married Joseph Graham in 1801 as his third wife. Hepzipah
died 1819.
Rebecca, Hepzipah's sister, married Joseph Graham about 1820 as his fourth
wife.
Hannah went into a partnership with sister Rebecca in New York City. They
were both
widows at the time. The partnership arrangement lasted for only "about
two years, until
the widow HAWKINS married a Mr. BIGELOW."
The book doesn't say when Hannah married a BIGELOW, but from other data
it appears to be about 1830.
The 1830 Census is when the "older" woman shows up in the Asa BIGELOW household.
What say you?

Okay, about middle 1790s or so.
Hannah, her sister, married Joseph Hawkins. Joseph died.
Okay. I dunno when they were married or when Joseph HAWKINS died.
But "John Graham descendants" says: Joseph Graham died 1823, widow Rebecca
(WASHBURN) GRAHAM carried on the boarding house for 7 years (1823 + 7 =
1830).
Then Rebecca moved to another address in NYC and went into a partnership
with her
sister Hannah (WASHBURN) HAWKINS.
The partnership went for two years (1830 + 2 = 1832) when Hannah broke
off the
partnership and married a Mr. Bigelow.
Were there children?
Graham descendants doesn't say if Hannah had children but does say, "Hannah
had
married a Mr. Hawkins and had lived in Boston, evidently in some style
- for an old family story says that 'she had a page to carry her train.'
After Mr. Hawkins died she moved to New York..."
So it looks like Hannah would have moved in New York City about 1830 when
she joined her sister Rebecca.
Did Hannah lay them (children) on Abigail, as she was a widow?
Abigail died 1805. I don't think Hannah became a widow until years later.
Abigail died. Asa moved to Troy and later married Hannah (22 Jun 1826).
Where does that marriage date of 22 Jun 1826 come from? It doesn't jibe
with the fact
Hannah (WASHBURN) HAWKINS is in New York City as late as 1830 and didn't
marry BIGELOW until after 1832.
