I am doing a search on the Bigelow family for a friend of mine. I have
a copy of a letter that was orally given by Lucy May Bigelow to her
daughter Marla Mae Carter when Lucy was 87 yrs old in 1964. In the
letter she tells of John Bigelow marrying Mary Warren and of their son
Joshua's marriage
to Elizabeth Flegg. Then there seems to be a generation missing and she
says, "Your great great grandfather Henry Bigelow born in 1794 and your
great great grandmother, Julia Levanway was born in 1806. They were
descendants of some of the colonists Bigelow." Can you tell me how this
Henry and Julia were
related to John and Mary or if they were even related at all? Also, I
did
some extensive research on the LDS Site and was tracing the
Warren Line, before I found you and your site. Can you tell me if a
William De Warren really married Gundried Princess of England in abt
1077 and if her lineage goes back as far as 190??? You may not know the
answers to all these questions, but I wanted to ask to be sure. I don't
want to give my girlfriend
alot of wrong information, and I am fairly new with the genealogy, but
run
into very nice people that are more than willing to help. Thank you for
any
information you can give me on these people.
It really gets confusing when you see so many dates for the same
person. Patsy Gannon wrenpg@aol.com
