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?

From: "Steve & Jean Wall" < jwall98@home.com >

I have tried for many years to find the answers to my many questions. I have been trying for so long to find out
who my great grandfather was named after. His name was Eliphaz Bigelow Johnston. He was born in Huntingdon Co., Pa. His father was William Johnston, Mother Elisabeth Sarah Stelle. (I've only gotten their names from my gr-grandfathers death cert.) Up until last night I have had no luck looking up information on this portion of my family tree but last night I made an error typing in the name on the familysearch.com web site and putting in the first and middle name of my gr grandfather in the first and last fields, which gave me the information on Dr. Eliphas Bigelow.
I have been reading your "un official" Bigelow page (very impressive) and I have also found two other sir names
that I also have in my family tree. (Steele, Wadsworth). I have not yet found out what the link is and I was hoping you can tell me. I have been up against this brick wall for over five frustrating years. Unfortunately, there are no living Johnston's that are old enough to tell me any information that will help. I have picked their brains until they are mad at me.
also looking for daughter Francesca Bigelow. see Francisca A. ⁸ Bigelow................ROD
Thanks so much Jean Wall
Answer: Eliphaz Bigelow Johnston was probably delivered by Dr. Eliphaz Bigelow, thus the name. There is also the possibility that Mrs. Samuel Johnson ( Mary, daughter of 2nd wife Elizabeth Fife) may be the connection.

Rod - Great job on the website, I've found it extremely useful!
Ashley Bigelow of Crown Point, NY was my great-grandfather, and I've followed through your Howe book reprints as far as the page for his father, Ransom, but none of the links on Ransom's page work. Also, I am being guided in my genealogical research by my two 90-year old aunts, and they have given me some information which I think will be in conflict with that
on the page for Ransom...I will follow-up after I've had a chance to check vital statistics for those days. Seems that the family tradition holds that brothers Ashley and Orville married sisters Lasira and Luancia Ellithorpe, on the same day (12 Jan 1875). Nobody knows of any Louisa T. Russell. Also, I have information coming on Ransom's third marriage. He is buried in
White Church Cemetery, Crown Point, with his three wives. Will be there next month.

Dear Mr. Bigelow,
I came across your web site and am curious to know if you know of all the founders of Brown & Bigelow. My great grandfather was George Linton Swift. Co-founder of Brown & Bigelow. He was listed as in charge of all manufacturing
in 1908. His obituary reads in part....."He was one of the founders of the institution. Mr. Swift was well known in manufacturing circle of the northwest."
George L. Swift had a son named after Herbert Bigelow. His name was Herbert Bigelow Swift. In turn Herbert B. Swift had a son Herbert B. Swift Jr. Known as "Bud". Bud Swift passed away June 10, 1999 at the age of 70.
All of his children have passed on, but he does have 3 grandchildren still living, my Uncle Clarke Taube, who was born and raised in Mpls, MN. He is 85 years of age and now resides in Tryon, North Carolina, (Clarke's sister Janet was my mother, she passed on March 22,1 998.). Also there is Peggy Swift Smith and Marlyn Swift Landgren. Peggy resides in Arizona and Lyn resides in California. As do I.
I would be happy to keep digging for information for you.
You can visit my web page at http://www.angelfire.com/ca3/GlockerCondley
or just go to the page that has a photo of George L. Swift: http://www.angelfire.com/ca3/GlockerCondley/GeorgeLintonSwift.htm

Dear Rod,
Thank you for your great information pages. I have been using your sites to verify a family list of names that runs back from my daughters to William the Conqueror through our common ancestor Jabez (4) Bigelow who married Susanna Elderkin. I could go as far as Gale (5) son of Jabez and came to a stop at his daughter Elizabeth Mary. I can add to your list that Elizabeth married Nathan Gardiner. Their daughter, Lottie was my great grandmother. She married Ruben Willard and they moved to Dillon, Montana in 1889. They homesteaded a ranch in the Big Hole Valley and raised 13 children. My grandmother, Lydia, married Lorain Spencer. Their daughter, Hazel, is my mother. My father was Howard Lowman, another name from the 1600's. If you are interested in any of my list back from Jabez and Susanna, (through the Elderkins and Drakes to England) I would be

I am the grand nephew of Charles Chase Bigelow who did original tracings of family back to Baguley Hall, which I visited some years ago. Am trying to put together short version of family history for my son and ran into that attached beautiful picture of Baguley Hall. Though you might like a copy. Uncle Charlie was also an artist and did murals in Buffalo newspaper building which are not on National registry of Historical Landmarks. His Niece is now over 80 and living in Sierra Madre, CA -- very interested in Bigelow stuff and a treasure trove of great family memorabilia.

Hi, my name is Nora Bartlett and I hope you can help me with the name Baguley. In 1826 my great grandfather was born and
later lived and worked a farm called Baguley Farm. His name was William Marsland. I know this has nothing to do with the
Biglow family name but I saw a reference to the fact that Baguley Hall is now called 'farm' and as it is the only building remaining just maybe I can get my sister to go and visit (she still lives in England, I live in Edmonton, Alberta Canada). I understand you have a publication called "Forge Is this published in the States and how much would it cost for vol.7 as this was mentioned as having a reference to Baguley.
I really was excited to read your family history as up until yesterday I didn't know the correct spelling of Baguley or that there was so much history to the place. Thanks for your help, Nora
