This is an interesting family to follow in the 1850 census Elizabeth (Betsy), for instance, is enumerated in her father's household in Johnstown, Rock, WI on 12 Aug. Ten days earlier, she was counted in the Rockwell family home at Jefferson, WI and on one count, (with no date), she is counted in the home of her brother, James L.'s inlaws, along with her brother, Charles E. He was counted twice - in two different households.

Thanks for your great Bigelow page! A cousin
came across it by accident and it has proved a great resource for our ancestry.
We are descendants of 16314.48, Mary 7
Bigelow ( Ira 6), and
Dr. Eleazer R. Utter. I have most of the their descendants, and
would be glad to respond to queries about them, and to have my address as
a link.
Your info on maternal lines Fuller, Lathrop,
Day, Warren were added bonuses. If you come across any info about the
other wives in this line, Rachel ALLEN (wife of Ira 6 ),
Hannah STRONG's father ( Ezra 5
wife), the unknown wife of
Lt. John 3, Elizabeth FLAGG (wife
of Joshua 2 ), I will be
glad to pursue the clues in New England Historic & Genealogical Society
and original sources in the Boston area. Again, thanks for your fine
contribution!

I noticed that Jim Gould has written you. I too sent an Email some days ago,
as I had discovered your great family history and informed him of the information
available there. I am also a decendent of Mary 7 Bigelow and Dr. E.R. Utter
as well as Roderick and Sabrina Utter Bigelow. Dr. E.R.
and Sabrina were brother and sister to my great grandfather. I have
a lot of history about that family and would be glad to share with anyone
who might be looking for information. I have been searching for information
on Roderick. If there is anything or anyone that would be willing to
share, my E-Mail is C.Helen@pensys.com.
Thank you!! Carol Helen Utter Carlson.

Dear Rod Bigelow: Just visited your Society page again and what a surprise
to find all of the information on Roderick and Sabrina Utter Bigelow and
family. I have two comments to add. I beleive you made an error on
locations. Rock County, Johnstown and Jefferson are both located in Wisconsin
- not Pennsylvania. Second, Elizabeth Betsy could have been two different
people. They had a daughter by that name and Sabrina's brother, Benedict
Birch Utter(my grgrandfather) had a daughter by that name. They lived
at Cold Spring, just south of Jefferson in 1850. She could have been
helping Sabrina with the children or just visiting. Also the Rockwell
household in Jefferson was another Sister-Sally Utter Rockwell. There
was a third Elizabeth Betsy(another sister) born in 1811 but she lived in
Port Dover, Ontario. Both of the other two were born in 1834. I will check
the 1850 census and see if there is a difference. I hope this does not confuse
anyone. Carol Helen Carlson
