Notes:
From: "Dick Bigelow" < bigelow@pivot.net >
Rod, I was going through some old papers that had accumulated in
my truck and found a slip of paper from a day when my wife and I had gone
to my fathers grave in Skowhegan. We came across a few gravestones
with "Bigelow" on them and wrote them down, knowing that my family had come
from that area. We figured someday we would be able to work them into
my genealogy. Some of them were in the line you sent me. Some I have
no idea. I am sending them to you and maybe they will make some sense
to you.
James (5)Bigelow d 1829 (this matches James 5
)
Robert Bigelow 1900-1966
Forest Bigelow 1808-1904
Rosco G. Bigelow 1867-1937 (w) Carrie E. 1869-1959 (this matches 16251.2771,
son of Wilson 8 )
Levi (?15251.A)'s wife Sally d 1886 (yes this matches this Levi 6 )
Charles d 1853
Amasa Bigelow (this could be Amasa 7
, son of James 6 )
Benjamin Bigelow (this could be Benjamin Flagg
8 (1839-1919)
Vincent Bigelow (this could be son of Benjamin; (1872-1872) 16251.A11)
Charles Bigelow
Ephrim and Sally Bigelow (this could be Ephraim
(7) )
Hannah 6-13-1794 to 9-4-1855 (this is Hannah 7 , dau of George 6 )
We plan on going back to Skowhegan and checking out some of these and looking
for others. We really didn't have much time that day so we didn't get to
look over the whole cemetary or write down some of the dates. I will
let you know when we find any more. Dick
