Hi Rod,It has been a while since I have corresponded with you and I
have some more information on Edwin Bigelow who married Ida
Forester. I will try to organize it in the next week or so and
forward it to you for consideration. It could replace ALL the
information I sent before that is on Edwin's page, if that would be
possible. Some of it is correct and some is addition since I've
obtained most documents, that I could find, as far as marriage, death
and civil war records which showed all of their children and the dates
they were born, etc. It sure filled in a lot of blanks.Since that
time I've found his and Ida's gravesite, which didn't have a
stone. I worked with a gentleman in Jackson who went to a lot of
effort to obtain and set a new Civil War stone from the
Government. The just got it set right before winter last
November. It is a great looking stone. Are you interested
in a picture of the stone too? I've
been fairly busy with other matters and am having "family search"
withdrawls and can't wait to get back to it.
Thanks
Phyllis Irish

I'm married to Edwina's grandson...Roy Irish...he is named after his
grandfather.
There isn't a lot written down about my husbands family and I am just
starting into this but I do have some information if you are
interested.
How exciting to sort this out.

Notes for IDA HUNT FORESTER:
Ida Forester Hunt was the widow of Horace Hale Hunt. A marriage
license search could possibly list her last name as Hunt.
Forester spelling from Edwina Death Certificate/Roy RR records.
Marriage lisence listing and Edwina Birth Certificate says
Foerster. Forrester spelling taken from the Civil War Diary
of Edwin Bigelow. Written documents all say Forester. Typed
information says Foerster or Forrester.
1865 birth year is probably incorrect. Children with her fist
husband Horace Hunt were born in 1877 and 1878.

I have landed on your Edwin Bigelow website and whilst I can't connect to Bigelow I am descendant from Crawfords. Mary Stevens' mother was Mary Packard Crawford and sister to my great-great-grandfather.I have a photo of Edwin and a young girl taken by Bigelow photographer which I've been hoping to identify for years now. Thankfully for your site, I can, although the girl is still a mystery as to who she is. She was a pretty girl.Trouble is only a month ago I returned the albums these were in to my cousin in Victoria. I didn't keep a copy simply because I couldn't find a name to go with these, but always remember the E Bigelow written on it, and from memory the girl's photo the name Bigelow was printed onto the card.Hoping this helps, if you want anything on the Stevens-Crawford side I can help to some degree.regardsDenise McMahonBrisbane Australia
