From: Stephanie Reiner farm@metroparks.net
I am searching for the Bigelow family that lived in Marcy, Ohio 1889-1913.
I do not know their names, only that they came from Findlay, Hancock Co.,
Ohio. They may have traded farms with the Samuel Oman family in 1889. A couple
of Bigelow are buried at The Trinity Lutheran Cemetery aboout 1 1/2 miles
down the road from our farm. I am doing research on the people that inhabited
a farm in Marcy from the early 1800's to 1970's. The Farm is an 1880s living
historical farm. I just want to fill put family histories for our visitors.
I would appreciate the help.
Sincerely,

CHARLES HENRY BIGELOW:
Born on a farm now included in the corporate limits
of Findlay and resident here all his life, the subject of this sketch has
pursued the "even
tenor of his way" unobtrusively, fulfilling without ostentation all those
duties and meeting all the obligations required of a good citizen. He
has
devoted all his time to the peaceful pursuits of farming, his only ambition
being a desire to be considered a worthy member of that class whose ingenuity
and enterprise have placed Ohio among the first of American states in all
that relates to advanced agriculture. Mr. Bigelow is descended both
on the
side of father and mother, from an ancestry that takes us back to the earliest
history of America, and to a period very remote in the chronicles of
England. the genealogy runs to 1243. Henry Bigelow, grandfather
of the subject of this sketch, was born in Colchester, CT, Feb 20, 1778, and
became
a man of distinction in new England. He attended yale college, was
graduated there in 1802, subsequently achieved fame as a congregational minister
and
died at Middletown springs, VT., June 25 1832. His son, Philip D.
Bigelow, was born at Middletown springs, VT, Dec. 1, 1812, came to OH in
early manhood
and settled in Hancock co., in 1841. He engaged in merchandising at
Findlay, which he followed until 1853, when he purchased a farm near the city
and
lived there until his death, which occurred Aug 13, 1868. During his
residence in OH he acquired a position of standing influence, serving on the
State Board of Equalization in 1859-60, and for a long period as justice of
the peace in Fairfield co. July 10 1839 he was appointed by General
Wilson Shannon as major of the OH Militia, and in the discharge of this, as
of all other trusts conferred upon him, showed himself to be a man of energy
and good business qualifications. May 5, 1840 he married in Erie co.,
Harriet Hine Frisbie, d/o Calvin Frisbie, and the three sirvivors of their
five children are Frank F., Charles H. and Ella J., the latter, now the wife
of George L. Cusac of Findlay.
Charles Henry, second child, was born 5
Jun 1854 on the farm where he now reisdes, in the present corporate limits
of Findlay, OH. He grew up in this place and nearness to town gave
him the benefits of good schools, of which he availed himself to acquire
a fair education in youth. After leaving college, Mr. Bigelow returned
to his farm, the cultivation and care of which has furnished his continuous
occupation from that time up to the present. He has made a success of
his business and the appearance of his place indicates that he is a painstaking
as well as an industrious husbandman. On October 15, 1879 Mr. Bigelow
married Miss May, d/o H. M. Vance, member of a substantial family at Findlay.
Bernard Barton Bigelow, whose birth occurred on the 5 of Aug 1882, is the
only child of this union. Mr. Bigelow is a member of the Sons of the
American Revolution and politically in accord with the principles set forth
in the platform of the Republican party.

Mr Bigelow,
I came across your site while trying to find information on the daughter
of Ella Jane Bigelow (16317.553) and George L. Cusac. If you would like to
add Ella's date of death to your site, she died in Findlay, Ohio Feb 1, 1922.
(Hancock County Ohio Deaths, Volume 3804, Death Certificate #9545 ) She
is buried in Maple Grove Cemetery.
There is a slight error on the Phillip Doddridge Bigelow (16317.54) page.
Findlay is in Hancock County instead of Erie County.
Sincerely,
Martha Kincade
