Hello Rod,
I found your web page on family
history and believe that we might have a few common ancestors.
My Father was born in Port Hood, Nova Scotia to Austin and Josephine
MacDonnell….I also know that from my mothers side…there was Bigelow’s in
the family.
My name is Roderick James MacDonnell…and to tell you the truth, my brother
Kelvin complied a book on our MacDonnell ancestors.
Also, my mother and some of her sisters have a running book on the Miller
family that list Bigelow’s as our forerunners.
I thought you might
have a bit more info than me. Actually my grandfather was Austin Philip MacDonnell…and
as I know Port Hood is a small town…figured that there might be some ties.
Port Hood is mentioned in your link. Here is some more info for you from
my relatives:
Angus MacDonnell (from Glengarry, Scotland) settled in Antigonish N.S. in 1821. Angus
married Ann Bigelow who was a native of Cornwallis N.S. She lived to the
age of 106.
His son James moved to Port Hood in 1840
and married a Charlotte Fuller from Arichat. James died in 1880 and left
his house to his son John Angus MacDonnell, who in turn passed it down to
his youngest son Austin Philip MacDonnell…my grand father.
My grand father lived in Port Hood (Austin Philip MacDonnell)…he passed away
in 198_?
I hope this helps us sort something out?
Rod

Rod, do you have any line on a Mary Bigelow who will have married Angus
MacDonnell from the area of Port Hood Cape Breton?
Or can you give me a referal to someone who may know. My great grandfather
was their son William Fraser MacDonnell, he was born Dec 20,1837.
There will have been other children but I have no idea on names or how many.
I mention William birth because it might give you a year factor to know
where to look in your files.
Thanks for any help you might be able to give me.
I have just read your web page which I must say is set up very nicely.
I now send another two pages on my great grandfather William son of Angus
and Mary Bigelow or Anne Bigelow?
I had seen Angus on a document in Halifax one time with Anne as his
spouse. But the church where he married have his wife as Mary. Talk about
confused?

Hi Rod,
I am seeking info on an Ann Bigelow of Cornwallis, Nova Scotia
(likely born somewhere from 1750-1780). She did convert to Catholicism
and married an Angus MacDonnell, native of Scotland, who settled in South
River, Antigonish County, Nova Scotia. She lived to the age of 106. This
is all
I know. Would you have any leads?
Thank you
