Dear Rod, What great information. I was sure that my Bigelow was
connected. What can I send you about Mary Louise's family. I have
a lot of good documentation. For starters here is her obituary.
The only discrepancy I see is that it said "her family moved
to Medina" whereas your info has Micah dying in Whitehall. Another
interesting note, one of Mary's brothers was Julius. She named her
eldest son Julius, who is my direct descendant. Just tell me what
to send and where and in what form.
Thanks a million!! Judy
