This is Paul Bigelow, and I'm writing to add a new
listing to the Bigelow chain. There were two Orville Bigelows in the Crown
Point N.Y. area as you stated in the Bigelow Genealogy one was Orville C.
and one was Orville A.. According to my father, his Grandfather was a teamster
which according to the research refers to Orville C.. According to my father,
he later, married a Hattie Pond of Addison County Vermont, who bore my Grandfather
one Henry Orville Bigelow, this is listed on the Mormon ancestry web site
this was probably after the 1880 cencus had taken place. The one major
question is, is why on my grandfather's draft card for WWII, does it state
that his birth place was Port Henry, N.Y. the town in which Orville A. actually
lived, this is a really confusing detail to say the least. At least I have
now gotten the connection to the family line down to a point where I can
see the link.
The Bigelow Society Database has an Orville Bigelow, b abt 1850
Crown Point; m Hattie E. Pond (she b abt 1853 Shoreham, VT; d 27 Dec 1887
Moriah, Essex co, NY, (34y 5m 17d), cause of death Myelitis (from heart disease)).
There is no connection listed for the father and mother of this Orville
(maybe son of Ransom 7 (16164.14)
, "Orville A." but he has wives listed already). This info was gathered from
"Port Henry, New York Births, Bk 1, #285 and 479" and "Port Henry, New York
Deaths, Bk 1, #400" as well as other records.
Children of Orville and Hattie (Pond) Bigelow:
1. son Bigelow, b 12 Mar 1884; d _____ ;
2. Henry Orville Bigelow, b 25 Aug 1885; d _____ ;
3. dau Bigelow, b 02 Sept 1887; d _____;

Rod - Great job on the website, I've found it extremely useful!
Ashley Bigelow of Crown Point, NY was my great-grandfather, and I've followed
through your Howe book reprints as far as the page for his father, Ransom,
but none of the links on Ransom's page work. Also, I am being guided
in my genealogical research by my two 90-year old aunts, and they have given
me some information which I think will be in conflict with that
on the page for Ransom...I will follow-up after I've had a chance to check
vital statistics for those days. Seems that the family tradition holds
that brothers Ashley and Orville married sisters Lasira and Luancia Ellithorpe,
on the same day (12 Jan 1875). Nobody knows of any Louisa T. Russell.
Also, I have information coming on Ransom's third marriage. He is
buried in
White Church Cemetery, Crown Point, with his three wives. Will be
there next month.
More:
Just a brief follow-up on my e-mail of last month regarding my gt.-gt.-uncle
Orville A.(8)(16164.14B), son of Ransom(7), who was reported as having married
Louisa T. Russell, when family stories have him marrying Luancia Ellithorpe
in 1875. I have found, by following through the info you have from
Howe on the web-site, that there was another Orville, who is also listed
as marrying Louisa T. Russell, and I believe that this is the actual marriage:
Orville C. (7) (16164.89), son of Ebenezer (6) (16164.8), would have been
first cousin to my Orville's father, Ransom (7) (16164.14), and was listed
on Ebenezer 6 page (see ebe61648.htm ) as having married this
Louisa Russell, who was born 1845, d. 1908. Ironically, Orville C.
and Orville A. both are listed as having died in 1915, with the date for
Orville C.'s death stated as 1 Apr. 1915 (April Fool's Day!).
Weather permitting, my two very elderly aunts and I will be making a tour
of Crown Point, esp. of White Church Cem., for Veteran's Day. We'll
try to get as much information as possible from the grave markers there,
although I'm sure the marriage records for Orville A. and my gt.-grand-father,
Ashley (and their brides Lasira and Luancia Ellithorpe) will be found in
the Town Clerk's office in either Crown Point, NY or Bridport, VT (where
the Ellithorpe family lived in 1875). I hope to make a winter side-trip,
mid-week during one of my hockey weekend ventures to VT, to those Town offices
to do
research, so I can absolutely verify information I've given you earlier.
