Rod,
I found your web site through John Buczek's Marlborough, MA site.
I have information on the decendants of Henry Bigelo, son of Jacob and Sarah Heartwell.  He had one daughter, Ellen who married John D.W. Williams in Dec. 1832.
About 20 years ago at an "antique" flea market my parents found an old bible that was for sale.  They bought it because it was lovely and deserved a home.  The bible was presented to Henry Bigelow Williams by his grandmother Sophia Field Bigelow.  It includes births, marriages and deaths for most of Ellen Bigelow Williams' decendants until 1917.  It even has a entry for Ellen's death, which I saw was missing from your database, "Ellen Bigelow Williams died at Concord, Mass., her summer home May 17th 1901. Aged 86 yrs. 6 months."
I have attached a MSWord file that has a typed list of the data in the bible.  I have also inserted into the document scanned images of the actual pages.  Let me know if you have any problems opening the document and I will send you the info by "snail mail." (see below)
Also, I am interested if any of Ellen's direct decendants have contacted you.  I would be willing to "return" the bible to them.
Regards,
Denny Mahoney
