Edward ⁷ Bigelow House, from the Hudson River (see link)

Edward's House, is located at 13 Bigelow Road and not visible from the road. There is a long driveway, west of the driveway for the Bigelow Homestead, that leads to this house. It is also called the Staple's House. It was built in 1870, perhaps earlier, and is a 2 1/2 story frame building. It is Italianate in style and has an elevated location overlooking the Hudson River. (see above). The front of the house faces west, and contains a door at the southeast corner of this facade with a transom. There is a nice detailed screened Italianate porch along the first floor of this facade. The present owner added a new balcony above this porch in 2000.
The house has a gabled roof with the flared cornice at the ends which characterizes many local houses of this Italianate style. The windows have simple rectangular moldings. There is at least one set of shutters on the house. There is a brick chimney in the back of the house. The rear of the house has a one-story extension, also with flared eaves, and a cast iron chimney above the gable. There is an enclosed entry with aq shed roof between the main house and this extension. The doors on the main house appear to be original. There are various types of windows on the house and its extensions.
The site includes a remarkable assemblage of outbuildings, which step down the hill leading from the house on a high promontory to Bigelow Road. These barns are attached, but may have been free standing in the past.

A note from Phil Bateman:

"My" Edward (7) was the son of Asa ⁶( David ⁵, David ⁴, Lt. John ³, Joshua ², John ¹). He married 07 June 1853 in Meriden, CT , Mary Ann (or Amelia) Boies, b. 06 May 1826, Blandford, MA, d. 09 November 1901, Bloomfield, NJ.

According to our family history, my Great Grandfather Dr. Edward Field Walker (4 Feb 1846 - 2 Apr 1916) married twice, both times to Bigelows! His first wife was Caroline Boies Bigelow (no dates). They had 2 children Clarence Read (9 Aug 1870 - 17 FEB 1881) and Edith (24 July 1872). His second marriage was to Katherine Boies Bigelow (26 Apr 1850 - 31 Aug 1937 in Providence RI), sister of Caroline, and they had 2 children; Caroline Lydia (3 Sep 1880 - 4 Feb 1927) and Edward Field Walker Jr. (25 Dec 1883 - 25 Nov 1972). This last was my Grandfather.

Hope this helps. Anything that you might have on this Edward's (7) children would be appreciated. Also, if you have any knowledge of Lucy Isham's ancestry (wife of Asa(6) above, I would appreciate it. Thanks
