I am a descendant of Benjamin Franklin (8) Bigelow. I came across
your site unexpectedly actually…found the page where he and some of his
descendants are listed. I found many mistakes in names anyway…and I do
not know if I
have enough information on hand to correct them. He was my great
grandfather. His FIRST daughter was my grandmother: Grace, who
married RAY Rector (NOT ROY)…and my mother, their only child was
Marilyn Rae Rector. I am
the only daughter in my family too, had 3 brothers of whom one is
gone. My remaining brothers do not have children of their
own. I had 3 and so far have 3 grandchildren. I am not sure
I could get all the statistics up to date…but it pains me to see all
the inaccurate information. My line was from his second
wife named Jane Keppel (NOT Heppel). Also, Balfour’s wife’s name
was Mrytie (NOT Myrtle). My grandmother Grace died Dec.
7…and I will have to look up the year.
Well, if you are interested, will try to get back to you on more
info. I no longer have much contact with any Bigelows. They
have not been too interested in contact, especially since my mom died
in 2001. And I have not seen any of them since about 1968 or
so. We moved to Idaho, from California when I was in my
teens. Many of them at that time
were in California. My great grandma Jane’s mom came to
California
in a covered wagon. So my firstborn, born while hubby finished up
the
Navy days in California is a 5th generation native born Californian, of
which
not many can claim I understand. My grandmother and my mom and
grandpa
too were indeed among the very finest people who have ever walked this
planet. I wish I could say that of all my kin, but anyone who
knew them loved these 3! They never knew a stranger and loved
everyone that would have anything to do with them. Grandma was a
teacher for 38 ½ years in California. Grandpa
farmed. My mom helped my dad run his auto repair business
while she was able. I have been curious about my roots and have
done
some work on some of it along. I confess I do not know as much as
I wish I did. I think my brother has our Bigelow book however, so
may be able to more accurately “fill in the blanks” from him,
eventually.
Sincerely, Elizabeth Embree
