   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.

      This is Paul Bigelow Grandson of Henry Orville Bigelow of Port Henry, New, York.  Rod you are more than likely correct that the Orville Bigelow that has been in question was infact Orville A. Bigelow and not Orville C. Bigelow. I did come upon a 1900 Federal Census from Shoreham,
Addison County, Vermont  in Which the following names appear.
Orvil Biglow      AGE  49        Given birth years:  apx. 1850
Mary M.                     44                                            1855
Elmer                          16                                            1883
Henry                          14                                            1885
Leonard B.                  04                                            1895
Berma D.                    12                                             1887
Addie  L.                     08                                            1891
Greta   (Gusta)             04                                            1882
Eva M.                        17                                             1882
Also at that time is appears that Mary's mother was also living with them.
Lucretia Chatman/Chapman    Age 81                  1819
 
It seems that, unless there was a third Orville living in the area that this was the correct Orville Bigelow son of  Ransom(7) Bigelow
Hattie Pond was the mother of  Henry, and Berma.
And after Hattie died in 1887, he remarried Mary and had the other children adopted, and born by her.
Also of interest:
For some reason the on the Federal census for 1900 shows the last name as being Biglow and not Bigelow;
Then on the 1870 Census for Crown Point, New York, it shows an Orvill Biglow son of Ramson Biglow, who was of 21 years of age.
which would have put his birth at 1849.
         So the thought of the day is.  That the above Orvil Biglow, is infact Orvill Biglow, who is Orville A. Bigelow son of Ransom (7) Bigelow 
The Census for 1870 shows:
Ranson Biglow          Ages:  65     Nearest birth year;  1805
Mary     Biglow                     55                                   1815
Calvin    Biglow                     34                                   1836
Ransom Biglow                     19                                   1851
Jane       Biglow                     16                                  1854
Ashley    Biglow                     22                                  1848
Orvill      Biglow                     21                                  1849                                                                                     
 Thank You,
Paul H. Bigelow

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 01 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.
