Silas 7 BIGELOW



16163.95       Silas 7 BIGELOW, son of  Samuel 6 ( John 5, John 4 Joshua 3, Joshua 2, John1 and  Electa (WILDER) BIGELOW, was born at Conway, Franklin, MA on 25 April 1820. According to records, he married on 25 October 1840 Jane E. Tower who was born at Cummington, MA on 19 May 1829. (Another source lists her as Jane E. Torrey-intention to marry 06 Oct 1848). She certainly could not have been married at age 11, so there is an error in the records somewhere (note birth date of first child born to this couple - more confusion). Jane was the daughter of Luther and Sarah (Reed) Tower. In 1885, this family was living in Rutland, MA. We have no additional data and what we do have certainly needs to be checked. With these records we submit:
