Ferrand 7 BIGELOW

159B1.17      Ferrand 7 BIGELOW, son of Elisha 6 ( Elisha 5 , Elisha 4, Isaac 3, Samuel 2, John1)  and Rhoda (GODDARD) BIGELOW, was born on 11 September 1808 at Reading, Windsor, VT. He married on 16 October 1836 Caroline M. Hibbard, daughter of Fredrich Hibbard. She was born at St. Arrans, (Canada), 15 October 1812. As a young man, Ferrand migrated to Eagle, Waukesha, WI where he settled the remainder of his life. Ferrand and Caroline died the same year - 1887, she on 10 May and he in November, both at Eagle. (Howe states his death to be 11 Dec 1886). She is buried in the Old Cemetery, Eagle and we presume him to be there also.

 Last July, I took a trip in my new RV and one of the places I went was to Eagle Wisconsin to vist the grave of my Granmother on my Mothers side. Her maiden name was Bessie O. Bigelow.  I found the main Bigleow family  headstone
in Eagle's OLD cemetary.  The only picture I took was of my Uncle Moody's grave as he was the only Bigelow I could remember when I was around seven. I did find my Grandmothers grave in Eagle's Oak Ridge cemetary.  She married a Will Stephens, but he passed away 2 years before I was born.  Thought this might all be of some interest to you. I know very little about my Mothers side of the family and am starting to get interested now that I am retired.

Hi Bill,
Sure was neat to see the Bigelow headstone on Rod's site.  I have pictures of it also.  My husband is dec. Ferrand-Elverton-Ethel-Gerald Parkinson-Bruce (hubby)
Moody and Bessie were Ferrand's son Orpheus' children.  Elverton was Orpheus older brother. Their sister Sarah married Orpheus wife's brother James Wilford.  I have much on these lines, and am looking for more, as Bigelow Society wants the Generations down from Ferrand. I have contact with one of Sarah's desc. and she is in touch with a Stephens cousin.  I will be getting more information from them also.  I would like to gather all Ferrand's line, and then submit to Big. Soc. If
you can send me gedcom file on your connection, I will credit you as source.

This is the info I was looking for. Now I know why I have such a great attraction to the town of Eagle Wisconsin, all of my mothers side of the family came from there, and my Fathers side of the family (Hartwell) had a summer home there for years. The pictures of the Bigelow Headstone that I sent you is of this line of Bigelows.  If you are related to Isaac3, then we
may indeed be cousins.  Thanks for the great website as I happily found what I was looking for.   Bill Hartwell
