     Wondering if you have any information on a Richard R. Biglow, born somewhere in Canada 1843, died 1917 in Jackson co. Iowa, married a Sarah Liston.. I just got back from Iowa and found the grave, and that he was born in canada, any help you can give me see photo of grave.Somewhere between his death and my grandfather the (e) was attached to Bigelow
Thanks Jack Bigelow..I have placed Richard here for now until more evidence..ROD  02/11/2004.
Richard R. Bigelow, listed as son of Samuel Bigelow and either Rebecca Cox or Susanna Barkwell, was born 1843 in
Ontario and died 1917 in Jackson co., IA.  He married Sarah A. Liston 1860-1918.  Jack sent a picture of his gravestone,
however, which clearly shows the dates.  Jack Bigelow is a descendant and sent the information.  He had just returned from Iowa and had found this grave of his ancestor.  More information may find he is placed here in error. This Richard R. Bigelow, b. 1843 and wife, had another child, "Unknown
Bigelow, born 2 Dec 1882."
e-mail from Jack states Richard's father was killed in an Indian massacre 1849 on his way to the gold rush.  Our record of Samuel's son
Richard, states Samuel died 6 Jun 1875.  Another reason he is here temporarily.
Forge article 10/1999 page 75, Vol. 28 #4, indicates Richard R. may be in the correct place, but no proof.

1592C.136      Richard R. 8 BIGELOW, son of  Samuel 7 ( Ebenezer 6 , Amasa 5 , Isaac 4, Isaac 3, Samuel 2, John1)  and  Rebecca (COX) BIGELOW, was born in 1843 at Port Hope, Durham, Ontario. He married in 1863 Sarah S. Liston (1860-1918) in Farmers Creek, IA. He was a blacksmith and resided in Farmer's Creek, IA. Richard died 1917 in Jackson co. Iowa. (headstone below)

Given the above information, I believe I have found James listed in The Bigelow Family Genealogy, Volume I, Page 110 and 229; however, there are MAJOR discrepancies that will need to be resolved if he is indeed Richard's father - his son Richard's middle name (Oliver vs R) and Richard's wife listed as Hannah Brennan vs Sarah Liston.  IF this James 6 is correct, we know that he was the son of Josiah 5, the son of Jotham 4, the son of John 3 (my ancestor!), the son of Samuel 2, the son of John 1 who is believed to be the immigrant ancestor of all Bigelow's/Biglow's in North America.  John 1 came to Watertown, MA from Wrentham, Suffolk County, England in 1632.  (Note that the number denotes the generation from John 1 the immigrant ancestor.)
