Good day sir,
    I came across your website while researching my family line WHITEHEAD of Whitehall, NY. I recently
came upon 3 ledgers that belonged to my g-g-g-g-grandfather who had a shoe repair business back in
1830's. Listed in these ledgers are entries for an account of a Thomas Bigelow of Whitehall. Could this
be your Thomas? I am going to look over it again as other family members were mentioned some by
name and others as daughter, boy etc. Either way I could send you digital copies if you would like to look
them over. Have a winderful day.

I was on your website trying to follow the link of Elizabeth Scarlett. The address was wga51.html#l9209 and I got a message that said there was a broken link.
I also noticed another broken link when I tried to folllow it to Elizabeth's husband John's grandmother Margaret (~1485-? and wife of Robert Warren). The address was wga1.html#l160.
Thank you for posting this information.

The files you mentioned were created by Don Bigelow a number of years ago. Don died a couple of years ago, and I don't have time to fix all those links................ROD

Subject: Bigelow Sugar Plantation

From: "Marcus S. Andersen" < msaent@QuixNet.net >

My mother In-law lives on a old lot with an old cemetery on it. All the grave stones have the last name Bigelow on it and I
was wondering if we could get any Information on this lot. The person who sold the house to her said it was an old sugar
plantation. I believe one of the stones said Ann Bigelow and the dates I believe are eighteenth century or older I'm not sure. If
you can give my any type of information please e-mail me at darkchylde1_98@yahoo.com.
I don't know if this is the same cemetery in Jacksonville that I recently researched
I believe the Plantation was a citrus plantation in Floral Park

Good morning Rod. My name is Alan Jardine Ulrich and I am the church historian at First Congregational Church in Reading, Mass. I am getting ready to do a Church Youth Group tour of Laurel Hill Cemetery here in Reading next week. I did a search on Thomas Haven, our first minister here and found your site. I noticed under 15559 Anna wife of Thomas Haven in Reading, Mass. you did not have her date of death. Would you be interested in the transcription from her headstone?
I just came in from cemetery - a cold & wet day today. If I had seen your site earlier I would have already gotten the info for you. If interested I will send it along by next Sunday (19th) after my tour.
Regards Alan Jardine Ulrich

I was viewing the Clarissa Bigelow McAlpin page. She is my great-great grandmother. I have the Bigelow book and am trying to determine if being a descendent of Paul Bigelow provides me with the opportunity to join the DAR. This is my first look at you site and I am very excited to find so much information. I expect to join the Bigelow Society as may my father. Thanks for doing a great job- Jackie

From: the Smiths < cheman207@yahoo.com >
I have visited your excellent web page of the Bigelows and read with special interest about Hiram Bigelow #15336.51. The mention of his second wife, Mary Smith connects to some of my family information. The Smith family is a bit complex since Johnson and James Smith were brothers who married two sisters, Martha and Elizaeth Mills. Each couple had large families and inevitably some repeating names. Mary Smith the dau of James and Elizabeth only had one marriage to the best of my knowledge. You have all other information about her the same as I understand it. However, I feel a different Mary Smith was the wife of Samuel Smith. They married in 1813 but Samuel didn't die until 11 Dec 1827 [according to descendants' Bible record] and he was buried in Chatham on 13 Dec [according to Chatham church record]. Also, Mary Smith is still listed as widow in the 1871 Chatham census. She died 20 May 1873 in Chatham. I suspect she is the dau of Thomas Smith and Elizabeth Parcher or of Johnson Smith and Martha Mills. I would greatly appreciate knowing any other information you have
found on the Smiths. There are a lot of interrelationships! Years ago I corresponded with Pat Bigelow of the Bigelow Society when she lived in Alaska. I see you reside in Massena so we are almost neighbors since I'm near Plattsburgh. Looking forward to your thoughts on this. N. Smith

From: "Chantal LANGE" < chantal.lange@wanadoo.fr >

Hello,
I don't know if my informations will be useful for the Bigelow website. I think that I know some children and their families about Silvius Hoard, who was the 2d son of Samuel Hoar and Deborah Bigelow. It seems that Silvius was not a daughter
but a son. He married Nancy Mary de Villers (1796-1873) who died in Oswegatchie, St Lawrence Co, NY. She was the eldest daughter of my "cousin" Lewis de Villers (Louis Charles Aimé Lefebvre de Villers was his complete french name), who came from France with Rochambeau and never came back, and of Sarah Kinne.

From: "P. Steer" < blsteer@dccnet.com >
Hi!
After about 15 years I have pulled out my genealogy research and have come across my grandfather's Bigelow Society papers.
Amongst them was a letter which makes reference to a second book being put together. Can you tell me if this book was ever done and whether or not I can get copies of the 1st and 2nd books? Are there more than 2 books? I am copying my genealogy and giving it to nieces and nephews and I would like to give them these books as well. My grandfather was A.A.Mason of Verdun Que, going back to his mother Melinde Bigelow, to Adam Chester Bigelow, to Adam Chester Bigelow (the 1st), to Cornelius and Persis (Harris) Bigelow.
I would also like information on registering with the Society from here in Canada, if fees must be paid in US or can be paid in CDN $, and how I can order any already printed genealogy for the Bigelow lines.
Thanks so much in advance for you help. Please send responses to this email to email address blackwood82@hotmail.com,
Yours truly,
Brenda (Mason) Steer

From: "Pat Zima" < patz@inna.net >

Quite by accident I stumbled upon your web page as I was researching my Grandfathers uncle, Ferdinand Gregorovius. I thank you for the information on D. F. Bigelow and Folger Bigelow. Aunt Caroline had given one oil painting to me and I inherited three others when my aunt, Dorothy Gregorovius died. I guess I should have begun by saying that George Gregorovius was my mother's brother.
We have lost touch and assume that Caroline has passed away. Is she buried with George in Plattsburgh?
