Descendant note:
From: JKeysser@aol.com
My ancestry goes: John, Samuel, Samuel, Samuel, Ithamar, Timothy,
and Persis Bigelow who married Francis Keith in Barre, VT, about
1832. Their daughter (my gt gt grandmother) came "west"
Minnesota and is buried in Elgin, MN.
I'm especially interested in any information you may have on Jedidah
Hathron who married Samuel Bigelow in 1729 in Marlborough, MA. I
have nothing on her parents
More:
In case you want more Bigelows for your database, I'm descended from
one of Samuel's son's, Ithamar, born 30 Jul 1745 in Shrewsbury; married
Persis Barrett 16 Feb 1769 in Paxton, MA, and died 10 Mar 1807 in
Paxton.
One of their son's was Timothy, born 04 Oct 1770, in Paxton; married Anna Earle in Paxton 15 Jun 1797, died 1 Feb 1838 in Barre, VT. One of their daughters, Persis, born 08 Nov 1798 in Barre, married Francis Keith in 1832. Their daughter, Ellen Keith, born 19 June 1833; m Irvin Rollins, 04 Apr 1859; died 04 Apr 1891 in Elgin, MN, is my gt gt grandmother.

grandfather Earle are also buried there.
And More:
Thanks for the wonderful information! I (and my aunt and 3
cousins) got to Elmwood cemetery in Barre for the first time in August
when we were in Corinth for a Colby family reunion (Ellen Keith married
Irvin Rollins, son of Nancy (Colby) Rollins). We found the graves
of Francis and Persis
(Bigelow) Keith, and also saw the large, relatively new monument to
Oliver
Earle, but didn't look for Bigelow graves there -- I'll guess we'll
just
have to go back!!
I'm forwarding your info to Susan Laing in VT. She's about a 4th
cousin, but also has Francis and Persis as ancestors. Have only
met
her on-line.Thank you very much! Janet Keysser

Thanks for the good work by a lot of people.
My family descends from: John, Samuel, Samuel, Samuel, Ithmar, Timothy,
Persis - when she marries into the Keith line.
Do you know of any others who follow in this direction? Thanks Nancy
