   This is Paul Bigelow, and I'm writing to add a new listing to the Bigelow chain. There were two Orville Bigelows in the Crown Point N.Y. area as you stated in the Bigelow Genealogy one was Orville C. and one was Orville A.. According to my father, his Grandfather was a teamster which according to the research refers to Orville C.. According to my father, he later, married a Hattie Pond of Addison County Vermont, who bore my Grandfather one Henry Orville Bigelow, this is listed on the Mormon ancestry web site this was probably after the 1880 cencus had taken place.  The one major question is, is why on my grandfather's draft card for WWII, does it state that his birth place was Port Henry, N.Y. the town in which Orville A. actually lived, this is a really confusing detail to say the least. At least I have now gotten the connection to the family line down to a point where I can see the link.

Dear Mr Bigelow,
  My name is Alison Russell.  I am originally from Crown Point, NY.   I understand that there is some confusion about Orville C Bigelow. He was married to Louisa T Russell.  I can get  you the exact information if you are  interested.   Interesting Fact,   Orville Bigelow was in the 34 NY Infantry Regiment in the Civil War. He was wondered at the Battle of Anitietam.  He survived because a confederate solider gave him water. He was taken to the Dunker Church which was being used as a hospital. He survived and eventually returned to Crown Point.  He kept the bullet he was shot with and we still have it today.
Please feel free to contact me if you would like any additional information.

The Bigelow Society Database has an Orville Bigelow, b abt 1850 Crown Point; m Hattie E. Pond (she b abt 1853 Shoreham, VT; d 27 Dec 1887 Moriah, Essex co, NY, (34y 5m 17d), cause of death Myelitis (from heart disease)). There is no connection listed for the father and mother of this Orville (maybe son of Ransom ⁷ (16164.14) , "Orville A." but he has wives listed already). This info was gathered from "Port Henry, New York Births, Bk 1, #285 and 479" and "Port Henry, New York Deaths, Bk 1, #400" as well as other records.

Rod - Just a brief follow-up on my e-mail of last month regarding my gt.-gt.-uncle Orville A.(8)(16164.14B), son of
Ransom ⁷, who was reported as having married Louisa T. Russell, when family stories have him marrying Luancia Ellithorpe in 1875.  I have found, by following through the info you have from Howe on the web-site, that there was another Orville, who is also listed as marrying Louisa T. Russell, and I believe that this is the actual marriage:
Orville C. (7)(16164.89), son of Ebenezer ⁶ (16164.8), would have been first cousin to my Orville's father, Ransom ⁷ (16164.14), and was listed on Ebenezer ⁶ page as having married this Louisa Russell, who was b. 1845, d. 1908.  Ironically, Orville C. and Orville A. both are listed as having died in 1915, with the date for Orville C.'s death stated as 1 Apr. 1915 (April Fool's Day!).
Weather permitting, my two very elderly aunts and I will be making a tour of Crown Point, esp. of White Church Cem., for Veteran's Day.  We'll try to get as much information as possible from the grave markers there, although I'm sure the marriage records for Orville A. and my gt.-grand- father, Ashley (and their brides Lasira and Luancia Ellithorpe) will be found in the Town Clerk's office in either Cr. Pt., NY or Bridport, VT (where the Ellithorpe family lived in 1875).  I hope to make a winter side-trip, mid-week during one of my hockey weekend ventures to VT, to those Town offices to do research, so I can absolutely verify information I've given you earlier.
By the way, any chance you could get the other links on Ransom ⁷ (16164.14) working?  There are about 5 more that respond with Ooops!  Thanks, and best wishes,
STANTON WARREN BIGELOW (11)
