I have just begun researching my Bigelow roots. My paternal
grandmother was Edith Ardella Bigelow , born 24 Aug 1908 to James
Ellsworth BIGELOW and
his wife Nora Elizabeth DOWNING at Andrews, Huntington Co., IN.
Edith married
my
grandfather, Arden L. BEMENT, Sr. She was one of ten children.
James E. Bigelow, according to information I just received via an
e-mail from a lady who turns out to be my second cousin, was born
11 Dec 1864 at Andrews, Huntington Co., In, and died there on 6
Apr 1931. He is reported to have been a sheriff and the son of
William Bigelow born in ?,Ohio, died 10 May 1873 in Huntington
Co., In. He was married to Susan Jane TURNER. William was the son
of Samuel W. Bigelow born in NJ 16 Dec 1807, died 28 Jul 1874 in
Huntington Co., IN. He was married to Mary PARKER. He is reported
to be the missing son of William and Catherine Brigham Bigelow who
was sent off to the navy. It is said that he never wanted contact
with his family again because he felt they didn't want him. To
keep from being discovered he added the name Samuel to the
front of his name. I found a posting on the GenForum Bigelow page
referring
to a William BIGELOW from NJ , and I saw that you had posted a
followup with
a reference to your website but no particular information. When I
checked
your site, I saw that William was simply listed as having never
been heard
from since.
My question to you is: Are you aware of any information or proof
one way or the other as to the connection between these two men.
Is it simply an
unproven assumption? I would appreciate any help you might be able
to give
me. Thank you very much, see
link above

After doing extensive research on the Bigelow Family, I have
found one of the missing links in your Bigelow Society Book
that ties in my family to the book itself. This link is Samuel
William/ William Bigelow b:16 Dec 1807 and as noted: when a
young man under age, he was put into the US. Navy by one of
his older brothers, and never heard from since. This man is my
Great-Great-Great Grandfather. He moved to Ohio then to
Indiana where he is buried in Lancaster Cemetery, Huntington
co., Indiana. If you would like more details, please feel free to
contact me. Thank You see link
