Ron was told by his father that they were related to Bob Ford of the Jesse James gang and that they were also of Indian descent. This is about all the info on this family that I have other tan some spouse and children.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Dear Rod:
I am so delighted to have found the family web site. As I am a novice at genealogy, your site has been a terrific resource! My line comes down through Andrew (6) Bigelow. His daughter, Mary Bigelow (15133.27), marries John Norcross in 1818. Their daughter, Anne Mary Norcross , marries Joab Woodward in 1858. Their daughter, Ida May Woodward marries my great- grandfather, Edwin E. Johnson in 1886. The rest is history!
As I am a member of a DAR chapter, I plan to do a supplemental for Andrew, as he served in the Revolutionary War.
Would love to have copies of source documentation (including title pages) for Andrew Bigelow and his first wife, Sarah Fawcett, for their births, date of marriage, and their deaths. If you know of anyone who has this information available, please let me know and I will contact them. As I collect more on this line, I will send it to you to be added to the Bigelow history.
Again, it is truly my pleasure to be completing another branch of the family tree!
Sincerely,
Fran Pittman

Hi Rod,
My great great grandmother was Mary Howe Bigelow, sister
of Horace Bigelow of Worcester and White City. I have been told
that he commissioned portraits of his five sisters (Electa, Cordelia,
Mary, Anne and Ada) and that they hung in his roller skating rink
at White City. Was it called Bigelow Gardens?
In 1982, the portrait of Electa was owned By Marjorie Field,
late of Oregon. The portrait of Mary was owned by Dr. Richard Evans
of Cleveland, and the portrait of Cordelia hung in the house where
she lived and later owned by Willard Wheeler in Berlin, MA.
I have often wondered where Anne and Ada are! I have old Polaroids
of the pictures of Electa and Mary. I would love to hear from anyone with
more information about the portraits, and Mary Howe Bigelow in particular.
Regards, Bill

FROM: Lee Ann Hager hleeann@adelphia.net
Hello Mr. Bigelow,
My name is Lee Ann Hager and I have been researching some of my family history. It seems our lines share a common thread as my great grandparents are Samuel David and Renia Jane Bigelow.
I had run into lots of difficulty with the Bigelow line as my grandmother, Cylvesta Bigelow Marcum, could not remember much about her grandparents other than their names. I was very excited to see your page and be able to contact some folks who left information.
I wonder if any more information has been discovered about Renia Jane Thompson? Likewise, I have information on Samuel and Renia's children both from my grandmother and from the 1930 US census (you have listed three children, but I'm not sure Lewis is one of them):
Sons: Samuel, Earl, Grover, Lawrence and daughters: Cylvesta, Oray, and Virginia.
My grandmother is Cylvesta. I'm wondering if your reference to Lewis Thompson could be Renia Jane's father as his name was Lewis Thompson and his mother was named Betty (information from my grandmother).However, I do not have Betty's maiden name. Could this be they Betty Lee Bush you mentioned?
Again, any information is appreciated. Lee Ann Hager

I found your posting on the internet. Thanks for
the interesting information! I have a question. You
wrote, " Hannah (Washburn) Ackerly
She was born 11 October 1810, according to Bible inscriptions."
Do you perhaps have a copy of the Bible inscriptions? Are there
any of the Washburn family in it? I am a descendant
of Thomas Washburn; I believe that he was a brother of Hannah's.
I also believe that they were children of Jonathan Washburn and Hannah
Drake, but I am hard pressed to be able to prove it. If you
are aware of any family Bible records anywhere I surely would appreciate
knowing about them! Jonathan Washburn was a Mayflower descendant.

“Charles'
journal records that he continued with bricklaying in San Francisco,
then in 1867 worked at the New Idria quicksilver mine in Santa Clara

dry goods) on Battery Street in San Francisco. After selling his share
in the business, he again returned to bricklaying, working on the San
Francisco Customs House, and at jobs in Vacaville, Valley and Millbrae.
He also built a house in the Mission District of San Francisco.”
You also mentioned that Charles keep a journal of important

is a child and not an adult, which she would be if born in 1838.

Dear Rod:

on Lebbeus S. Bigelow and Priscilla Randolph by a distant cousin.
I noticed your E-mail on the information.
Priscilla
(Randolph) Bigelow's sister, Salena Randolph, married James
E. Hunter (great-grandparents). Would you have any
information or pictures on the Randolph family? I have
Family Group Sheets on the Randolph's and Alexander's from Greenwood
Furnace State Park, Huntingdon County, Pa.
Also,
I am looking for William Randolph (Born-1780, Died-1857)
and Mary Dukeman/Duchmann (Born-1783, Died-1855). William
and Mary are buried in the Hill Cemetery, McAlevy's Fort, Huntingdon
County, Pa. I understand there
is a Native American heritage in the Alexander-Randolph family
history. Would you have any knowledge of this heritage?
Hello Rod,
My mom (Helen Lekki) has let me know about the Bigelow family genealogy,
that I guess is two volumes, from looking at the website. My grandmother
was Norma Mihlader (Bigelow was her maiden name) and so I am very interested
in this genealogy. Is it still available and if so how can I get a copy?
I think my mom has some updates that she would like to add to the genealogy
(at least to the copy she saw). Should she contact you to do that?
The Bigelow Society website is very interesting. I was glad to spend some
time reading the family history and would like to learn more.
Thanks,
John Lekki

Hi Rod Bigelow
I am researching the Schutt family
tree and I might of found a mistake in yours (Monzo Schutt)
I do believe is Alonzo Platt Schutt born on April 22,
1828
in Port Gibson New York and died
June 22, 1913 in Port Gibson New York.
That is at least what my father
had written down many years ago.
If you have anymore information
on the rest of the children I would surely appreciate
any help.
I am trying to go into more detail
on the tree besides their name.
Like for John Schutt do you know
anything about what he did in the war of 1812 rank or outfit
he was in?
For Hiram I have his obituary
from the newspaper that my grandmother had saved.
John would be my 3rd great grandfather
and Seymour E Schutt is my 2nd great grandfather.
More:
I have put in pictures or
newspaper articles that I can find to make it more of
a history of the Schutt family not just a tree.For Hiram I
have his obituary from the newspaper that my grandmother had saved
with a picture and that is added.
Thank you,
Bill Schutt

Hello, there guys!
My name is Clyde Rice and I am
a Bigelow descendant, through William Henry Bigelow's
daughter, Eva, b. Sept. 6, 1888, m. Herman Hurley, (not
Harley!).
And I do believe you have her
death date wrong, it was summer time, not Jan.
I was in summer camp, IA. Air Nat. Guard, in Golfport, Miss.
when
she died. It upset me that
the family didn't notify me, I would have been back for
the funeral! Either 1958 or 59, I will have to look
it up. She
was my mother, Fern Mildred Hurley's
mother.
And Steve, if you are looking
into Alice Betts, please contact me! I just ordered
a mtDNA test through Family Tree DNA. This is the DNA
line,
traceable through the female
line, daughter, to mother, to grandmother, to g grandmother
and on and on! I need Alice Betts', mother's maiden
name,
her mother's maiden name and
so on! As far as possible, this gives some deep
ancestry knowledge on this female line!
I believe Alice Betts' mother's
maiden name might have been Elwer.
(In the past year, I did this
same thing for the male, Rice surname side of my ancestry.
We had been brick walled at the birth of my gg
grandfather, Ira James Rice,
1808, Greene Co. NY. for 40 years. This accomplished
a great breakthrough, and I have now pushed it back 200
more
years, and at least 6 generations!
It seems that the name wasn't always Rice, but Royce
in CT. in the 1630's, and became Rice when my ggg
grandfather moved to NY!
The same thing happened to a lot of Royce lines, I find
out after the fact! The male is called the Y-DNA test
as opposed
to the female mtDNA.) So,
it does work! Up and coming technology!
Hey, if this should get through
to only one of you, I hope the other can put me in touch!
Best wishes for the Holidays!
Clyde Rice

Rod, I have a bit of information
that may or may not be of interest to Anne
Brown who was looking for information
about Richard and Martha Bigelow of NYC.
I stumbled across a Richard
and Martha Bigelow, originally from NYC, in the
course of researching my ancestors
in Northwood, Worth County, Iowa. Richard
and Martha turned out to be
not related to me, so I'm afraid I didn't pay much
attention to them except where
I got confused by records referring to "R.
Bigelow" where I couldn't be
sure if they were talking about Richard or
Roswell, my GGG grandfather.
Richard and Martha had an adult son (sorry, forget
his name at the moment) also
living in Northwood. This would have been in the
1860-1890 time period.
I believe I've turned them up in the census at some
point in that time span, so
perhaps it might help Anne to take a further look in
Iowa.
