family records of descendants.
Samuel and Rebecca did not have any living children. He left
all of his estate and farm in Blomidon to siblings and nieces and nephews.
Temporarily left as is with two marriages for Samuel until more information
is located.
(See Cox pg. 4 of info. from Lorna Evans, Kings Co. Hist. Soc. 2/22/1997)
but the following letter questions whether he had children by his first marriage:
Robert Bigelow died 7 Nov 1830 at 2 years of age (same Anglican Archives below)
and Betty's Mary Ann said her birthday was 30 Jan 1829.
Disconnected lines, page 525 of Bigelow Book, Volume II says Samuel born
1808, died "by drowning in his own mill pond--
-which was discounted by family members as untrue. Betty Watson writes 9
Apr 1997 that "Samuel married daughter of John & Elizabeth Wannacot Barkwell
who were married at Holsworth Devon Mar.26, 1786--Susanna was Susanna Barkwell,
mar. at St. James Anglican church, Port Hope, Ontario, on July 30, 1832.
Information from Anglican Church Archives, Toronto, ON. He signed "Biglow"
and she signed "X". I checked IGI for Barkwells and found Susanna was
christened at Milton Demerel, Devon, England May 31, 1807, father John Barkwell,
mother Elizabeth Wonnacot who were married at Holsworth Devon March 26, 1786.
My Mary Ann said her birthday was Jan. 30, 1829. In the IGII found
Mary Ward Barkwill christened February 23, 1829 at Hosworthy Devon, mother
- Susanna Barkwill. What do you think???? From the same Anglican
Archives I received burial notice for Robert Bigelow, two years of age, November
7, 1830. Since I have never seen any record of Bigelows prior to that
date in that area, I think this might be from Samuel's first marriage.
Have you ever checked marriage records in Kentville NS? I see Skinners
on this chart of Samuels. I have Skinner genealogy back to 1600's in Malden,
MA - Thomas Skinner who had a grandson Ebenezer on my charts. A Skinner
married one of Mary Ann's daughters!
I would like to hear your comments now and see where you think I should go
from here. Betty."
A later letter from another member of this family stated that some of the family wanted nothing to do with the idea that Mary Ann was not a Bigelow.
From Ann Bigelow, editor of Forge, also searching for Samuel, born 1808, but sends the following:
Samuel Bigelow b. 28 Jul 1808, Cornwallis, NS; d. 6 Jun 1875; married Rebecca
M. Cox, b. 8 Nov 1807; d. 15 Jan 1872, d/o John & Lucy (Harris) Cox.
It seems Samuel and Rebecca had no children as in his will, Samuel left all
his estate and farm in Blomidon to nieces and nephews.
"So this can't be my Samuel. Perhaps you can update your info on the
database to reflect the above. I can give you the sources if you want.
I am beginning to despair we will ever find Samuel of Port Hope's parents.
Anyway, have to start from scratch again. Thanks again, Anne Bigelow"
Forge, July 1997, p. 56 correction 1592C.13 Samuel Bigelow, different death date has shown up: 6 Jun 1875. Rebecca's mother's maiden name: Harris. Left account as is for now, having entered what we have and sent originals to Guy. But leaving it with a question mark in our records until further updates.
4 May 1998, Don Bigelow of Grand Rapids wrote Una Cook, 14300 Trillium
Blvd., SE #29, Mill Creek, WA 98012, asking for roots for database etc.
Her reply:
"I am Linda Bigelow Hearn's sister. She has article on page 30 of
the latest Forge. We have one other sister, Billie Bigelow Stanley.
Our father was Victor Bigelow (Samuel Edwin, William Henry, Samuel) so far
that's the best we can do. We have not been able to tie Samuel to John
Biglo. Hope this is sufficient........regards, Una Cook".

of Linda Hearn.
