# 15337.AA      Samuel Elijah son of William F. 6 ( Noah 5, Cornelius 4, Samuel 3, Samuel 2, John 1) BIGELOW and Eliza (EARL) BIGELOW, was born 6 Jan 1851 in Andes Township, Delaware co, NY. He moved with his parents, in 1853, to Montcalm county, MI and in 1869 to Buffalo county, WI. Samuel, by then of full age, returned to MI before 1875. He married, in Gratiot county, Amelia Mary Evans the daughter of Martin Evans and Cynthia (-) Evans. She was born 21 June 1861. They located in New Haven township where she raised dairy cattle and he worked winters as a lumberjack. In 1908, the U.S. Congress passed a homestead law permitting women to file on land in their own name and as she was unhappy in MI, she departed with nearly all of her children taking up her own farm in NE and later CO. Some of her children stayed in CO, others returned to MI and two pushed on to WA. Meanwhile, back in Gratiot county, Samuel retired from farming and logging. He lived with son, Ernest, at Hoxeyville, in Wexford county. He died there 22 March 1929. Amelia returned to MI and died at Hoxeyville on 20 June 1939. Both are buried at Banker cemetery, Hoxeyville.
