I believe you have hit the Jackpot with what you have on Ethan Bigelow. The Ethan that was born in 1833 and was married to Paulina Hare seems to be my great, great, great grandfather.I would appreciate any info you may have on his father,
Let me take this opportunity to thank you for your rapid response to my inquiry about Ethan Cook Bigelow. ( I did not know that his middle name was Cook until I received your message. My info was gained from my grandmothers bible.We have him being born in Halifax, Vt. in 1834. Having a total of five children. Most of his children have the middle name of Sumner. His mate was Paulina Hare  b..Kentucky  1841. His youngest son was Willis Bigelow b..1867.  When I was a young lad, I recall
Willis living with us for a short time before his demise. Because of the name Sumner being given to many of his children, I feel that there must be a correlation with the other Bigelows from that area at that time.Notably Thomas Sumner Bigelow who, because of his age could have been Ethans father, I seemed to have reached an empasse with finding Ethans father. Ethan died in and was buried at Chillicothe, Illinois.  (by your records in 1902. ) Whatever else you may have that will lead me in the right direction I would very much appreciate. I must, at this time congratulate you on having by far the best internet page
that I have ever seen. I can see the time and effort that you must devote to this love. I will also tell you that it has been a driving influence on me to continue my quest  for furthur knowledge of my heritage.
