Mills (or Miles) ⁸ BIGELOW

15336.521 Mills (or Miles) ⁸ BIGELOW, son of Adam Chester ⁷ ( Cornelius ⁶ , Paul ⁵, Cornelius ⁴, Samuel ³, Samuel ², John¹) and Laurene (SMITH ) BIGELOW, was born about 1828 in Chatham township, Argenteuil, Quebec. The family moved to Buckingham about 1830, but shortly after his marriage, Mills returned to Argenteuil county. Remarried 26 February 1845 Elizabeth Warwick. She was the daughter of John and Christiana (Lackie) Warwick and born in Chatham township on 21 August 1828. Mills was named for his maternal grandmother's surname and appears as such in many records and is so remembered by many Buckingham descendants. On the 1861 census, his name is spelled "Miles" and his Pine Hill and MI descendants remember him as such. He used the spelling and pronunciation "Miles". He was a farmer at Pine Hill and died these on 18 February 1904. His widow died at Staynerville at the home of their son William on 21 May 1909. Both are buried at Edina cemetery.
