Comments: I have just started to reasearch my family's history. I am a
direct decendant of John Biglo and Ann Warren on
my mother's side through Freedom Bigelow and Susanna Kathan. I am wondering
if there is anyone else who traces their
Bigelow line through Freedom and Susanna Bigelow. I am also looking for
information on Mary Hyzer who married their son,
Ittia Bigelow. She was born around 1812 and came to Madison County, Ohio
from Kentucky.
