BIGELOW, Jared (7) = jared7.htm

# 16314.13 Jared⁷, son of Ezra⁶, (Ezra⁵,David⁴,Lt. John³, Joshua²,John¹) BIGELOW and Rachel (WHEELER) BIGELOW, was born at Manchester, Bennington,VT on 07 March 1788. About 1803, the family moved to Clinton county,NY There in 1806, Ezra was named in his father's will. In 1810 at Peru,Clinton co, NY, Jared married Sarah BEAMAN, known as Salley, a Mr. Cochrane, Justice of the Peace, officiating. She was born 1786 and was living in 1870. Sally died; Feb 1, 1876; AE 89; see headstone picture and info (below)
Jared served as an army teamster in the War of 1812 and his widow tried to claim pension, but was rejected because teamsters were not considered part of the armed forces. Jared died 18 April 1842 at Schuyler Falls, Clinton,NY. Big. Soc. had no dates for Sally.
* Headstone for Jared found in Turner-Roberts Cemetery. This stone is laying down, face up, and looks like a recent copy of an older one. This new one has inscription:"Jarid Bigelow; 1788-1842." There is a second stone to the east, very close, laying face up:"J.IRAD Bigelow;died Apr 18, 1812; in 51 year" The date is most likely 1842 which would agree with Big. Soc. information. This second stone was found by the Historical Society, buried under the first stone and moved to it's present location.second headstone picture below.

The following is an estimate by the Bigelow Society and my additions "*" through research of the family of Jared and Sarah (BEAMAN) BIGELOW:

Mr. Bigelow,
Had some earlier correspondence about Roberts Connections in Schuyler falls and the markers @ the Turner-Roberts House. This time a query regarding Alzina Bigelow, I know that your site lists her as having married a Mr. Davis and I came across something of interest on the1910 census in the town of Schuyler Falls. A Mr. Harvey Davis age 64 is listed with his wife Mary, age 59 Residing in the same household is his mother age 85 a widow, her name listed as Alzina Roberts. This Harvey Davis checks out with the fact that she married a Davis but I am trying to track down what Roberts she may have married....in checking I have a listing for Nathan D. Roberts in Chateaugay NY who married an Alzina with no surname listed but not sure if the ages fit.
Nathan is the son of Alanson Roberts of Chateaugay and i'm just wondering if Alzina may have had connections there....P. J. Roberts in Schuyler falls would have been a cousin to Nathan.

         I have found some information pertaining to Jared Bigelows daughter Alzina and the identity of her
second husband and I thought it would be of interest to you, also some additional data on Amy's second
husband Stephen Caulkins. First this started with the 1910 census data from Schuyler Falls where I found
Harvey Davis and his wife with an Alzina Roberts listed as Mother. I went back and did a search through
all the Census data for Schuyler Falls from 1850 through 1910. The results led to the following
information. Amy & Alzina living with their mother Sally through 1860 in Schuyler Falls, both married
between 1860 & 1870. Amy appeared on the 1870 and 1880 Schuyler Falls census with her second
husband Stephen Caulkins, He obviously was not killed in the Civil War but may have been a casualty
(wounded). After 1860 thru 1910 Alzina is not in Schuyler Falls. Checking through some notes from old
searches and material found the following.........Married Peter Roberts of Plattsburgh and Alcina Davis of
Schuyler Falls on 15 Sep 1864 this is a listing from the Plattsburgh Newspaper either from Microfilm or
from 10,000 vital records of Eastern NY. A check of the 1870 Plattsburgh census Pg 32 show Peter Roberts
listed as farmer with Wife (I had written Almyra, writing was tough to decipher) Alzina and her Davis
children, all of the names and ages fit Peter had been on the 1860 census in Plattsburgh with Ethan
Roberts both listed as Blacksmiths. I have not yet finished checking the 1880 Plattsburgh census material
but obviouly IF Peter is listed he will have died between 1880 and 1900
        I have taken the liberty of attaching some scans of the census (Did not do all) that I
felt could be of help to you. Have also referred this to some Roberts descendants. Randy
and Bob this I believe ties in to the Davis connections you referred to previously and for your info Jared
& Hiram Bigelow have markers in the Turner-Roberts cemetery in Schuyler Falls. I found it interesting that
the Bigelow site referred to Amy's wedding to her first husband Hiram French was performed by none
other than P.J. Roberts.   Please feel free
to comment as still trying to follow through on material. I neglected to mention that I had also looked at
the Peru census for 1840 (Prior to Schuyler Falls becoming a TWP in 1842)
searching for listings for Davis families two came to the fore, one Gardner Davis the other a George
Davis. Gardner dies before the 1850 census and George is there on aat least two more looking at the
individuals and ages and this is only a guess my money would be on Alzina married to a son of Gardner,
she may have even been in the 1840 household.
More from John:
Earlier in the week went to the library to check out the NYState Vital Records index to check fro a death record for Peter
Roberts, unfortunately found no record; however found the following listing for Alzina Roberts, Plattsburgh, died 12 Dec 1913 #
56447.
