Recently I visited your Bigelow Society site at bigelow.simplenet.com/rod/uria4682.htm and thought I might mention whom I
have as (probably) the Abigail PIERCE, wife of Uriah BIGELOW, along with their "other" marriage intention, in Stow:
"Abigael Pierce & (U)riah Bigelow" on 17 Dec 1748 at Stow, MA. [1]
[1]:unknown author, "Vital Records of Stow, Massachusetts," NEHGS, Boston: 1911, p. 183.
I have Abigail identified as probably she born 7 May 1729 in Lexington, MA, daughter of William and Abigail PIERCE in Charles Hudson's "History of the Town of Lexington, Middlesex County, Massachusetts, from Its First Settlement to 1868. Revised and continued to 1912." Vol. 1, History. (1913); Vol. 2, Genealogies. (1913). v. 2, p. 534. I say "probably"
because she was the only proper-aged Abigail Pierce known of Stow by me (and I did look as best I was able <g>), though I have not run across anything fully proving it. Her father joined the Lexington church 29 Jun 1735 (Hist. of Lex.,2:534), but was not on the tax bills after 1735 (same cite). He had two children born in Harvard in 1739 and 1741 (Stow VR, pp. 78, 79), bought land in Stow in 1743 (Hist. of Lex. 2:534) and had children born there in 1743, 1747 and 1750 (Stow VR, p. 64).
The main reason I went to your site in the first place was that, although the above William PIERCE is the brother of an ancestor of mine, David, there is also a Charles Sumner BIGELOW (See below), other than the one in your data, who, by the similarity of that and other names, appears to be a likely candidate to be a member of the same BIGELOW lines and I would like
to know what, if anything, you might know about him and his ancestors (and how <g>). This Charles Sumner's first wife, Abigail Alma PIERCE, was the sister of William ALBERT PIERCE, my great grandfather. The Ira Ancil PIERCE mentioned below as the second husband of Delia Pearl BIGELOW was the brother of my maternal grandfather, William Dale PIERCE, mentioned below in note [1]. 12 JAN 2001 Prepared by: Dwight Earl Beman
