Isaac ⁴ BIGELOW

1592. Isaac⁴ BIGELOW, second child and first son of Isaac ³ (Samuel², John^l) and Mary (BOND) BIGELOW, was born 04 May 1713, at Colchester, New London, CT. He was married there 14 March 1734 to Abigail SKINNER, daughter of Ebenezer and Abigail (LORD) (see LORD Family Below) SKINNER. She was born at Colchester 09 July 1715 (see below for corrections). Isaac is found in town records as follows: town indigent, 31 weeks and 3 days; 06 February 1736 Isaac Sr. granted son Isaac 40 acres, part of the farm he now occupied [3:430]; 21 Oct 1740, Ephraim Wells and wife Elizabeth deeded to Isaac jr 7 acres [5:102]; 17 Jun 1747, William Harris deeded Isaac BIGELOW jr 52 rods of land [4:346]; 12 May 1752 Elisha BIGELOW to his brother Isaac, an exchange of land [62:65]; 20 May 1761, Isaac BIGELOW to David DAY, 118 acres [7:492].

About 1761, in company with 150 other families, Isaac and his family, excepting daughters Abigail and Mary, and son Timothy, removed to Cornwallis, Nova Scotia. Isaac was an original proprietor there, but returned to New England at the outbreak of the American Revolution. Son Amasa and three married daughters remained in Nova Scotia. Isaac appears on the 1790 census at Chesterfield, Cheshire, NH. From town records at Keene, NH we learn that in 1792 Isaac and wife Abigail took a life-lease from Samuel Works of Westmoreland, of half a house in Chesterfield, also the yard and half the garden, with Works providing their firewood. We have no further mention of Isaac or wife Abigail after this date. Family tradition says he died suddenly while visiting son Addi in Barre, VT, but neither town nor cemetery records provide a clue.
1790 census: NH-Cheshire-Chesterfield-Isaac Bigelow: 1-0-1-0-0.

Descendant note:
Thanks! Gleaned a few more dates. According to "Genealogy of the Descendants of Thomas Lord" by Kenneth
Lord, Abigail Skinner's mother was not Abigail, but Sarah Lord, b. 1683 in East Haddam, CT., m. Ebenezer Skinner abt. 1702. All of their other children are listed, too. This is my line from John Bigelow: Bob Howe (12), Glen Howe(11), Jesse Howe (10), Maria Eaton-Howe (9), Wells Eaton (8), Judah Eaton (7) , Eunice Wells-Eaton (6), Ann Bigelow-Wells (5), Isaac Bigelow (4), Isaac Bigelow (3), Samuel Bigelow (2), John Bigelow(1). Welcome any question,comments, or correspondence. Thanks again. Enjoyed your site. Bob Howe email: Bhowegen47@aol.com
Descendant note:
I believe I have located a daughter of Addi Bigelow (son of Isaac Bigelow and Abigail Skinner)and his first wife,Mary Nooney, about whose marriage little is known.
Abigail Bigelow was born about 1780 in Montpelier, Vermont. She married Nathan Sisson II ( son of Nathan Sisson and Hannah Burdock) in Barre, Vt on April 24, 1803 (Addi Bigelow married his second wife in Barre, Vt. in 1804)
Abigail Bigelow Sisson died in Enfield Ct. , the same place where Addi and Mary Nooney were married. She named her second son, my ggg granfather, Addi Bigelow Sisson(b. 6-16-1805 in Wilbraham, Mass.) She and Nathan had 12
children.( Nathan Sisson II Died in Wilbraham, Mass and the widow moved to Enfield ,Ct.)
Circumstances , dates and locations seem to point to this Abigail Bigelow Sisson as being the daughter of Addi Bigelow and Mary Nooney. Do you have any other information on this marriage?
Sincerely, J. Kelsey Abrams E-mail abrams@harborside

Descendant note:
My Bigelow family went to Nova Scotia in 1760. Isaac Bigelow and Abigail Skinner. Are these families listed in the information? Isaac was generation 4 and his son Amasa is gen 5. We have information on next generations down to gen 14. Haven't spent a great deal of time on your website yet. I put a notice on the Famuily Tree Maker "Message Board" listing the "New England Planters of Nova Scotia" and about 12 -14 couples of my lines who went there in 1760 or soon after. This brought out E-Mail from a 6th cousin also of the Isaac Bigelow and Abigail Skinner lines. I used to subscribe to the FORGE when in MI, and have a collection. Have the issues of the Ollerton Hall and Baguley Hall. Haven't worked on these lines for
quite a while. I compiled the book "LOOMER FAMILIES AND ALLIED LINES" IN 1981, and for anyone who connects to the LOOMER and STRONG,EATON,RAND; BIGELOW and LYONS families of Nova Scotia, compiled a next book:
"THE DESCENDANTS OF JEDEDIAH STRONG" 1989. 5 LOOMER married 5 STRONG , this book follows the LOOMER AND STRONG family through 14-15 generations, is 210 pages. Most of my Bigelow includes the information on the first 5 generations that you include. Glad to find you on Internet. Just been doing this scene for about 2 months. Genealogy since 1972. Retired, but active. This makes a GREAT HOBBY, but occupies a lot of TIME and EFFORT.
