Note1:
Horatio Bigelow married Mary Riese in 1899. His brother,
Albert Francis was a law partner with Theodore Hoague 1908-1914 with the
Boston firm of Warren, Hoague & Bigelow. Theodore Hoague was father
of Inquirer, Mrs. Harland W. Huston, 31453 W. Hill road, Hartland, WI 53029,
27 July 1997 to Helena Roth who forwarded it to genealogist. She also
states:
"Because of the "Bigelow House" in Guana and the history of the island,
I am interested in learning more about the Louis Bigelow (see below) who developed the island.
I know he is dead and that his widow lives in Florida (27 Jul 1997).
Could you give us his background and tell us how he was able to purchase a
whole island and live out his life there? I have read about mining interests
of the Bigelows but have no knowledge of what afforded Louis this wonderful
life. Can you shed any light on this? (We have friends who also
have been to Guana and she is pushing me to find out more about Louis!)
And another friend is intrigued by the life of
the Albert Bigelow, who died in Walpole, MA 1993. Albert was commanding
officer to my friend, (WWII), and he has read a book about the murder of
Albert's first wife, Josephine Rotch. Could you tell me who this Albert's
parents were?
And who was the Bigelow who owned the house which now
houses the L'Espalier Restaurant on Gloucester Street in Boston?
I realize these aren't earth-shaking questions
but would appreciate any information you can give.

In the Adirondack Museum in Blue Mt, NY, there is a large hunk of copper
from the Bigelow mine located somewhere in Northern NY State.

I'm interested in Albert Smith Bigelow, but I am not able to get into your
page. Could you recommend other places where I could find information
on him?
Thank you. Melissa
