Bigelow/Biglow
(1555E.45)[actually 1555E.54 on page 258 of Vol.I, "The Bigelow Family
Genealogy"..genealogist 2000];
Samuel Smith 7 Bigelow was born February 23, 1835 in
Ticonderoga, Essex, NY, and died 1908 in Bryon Williams, OH. He
married ROBY M.
CHAPMAN August 16, 1855 in Milo, OH, daughter of GEORGE CHAPMAN and
NARCISSA
HOPKINS. She was born February 6, 1836 in Quebec Province. There
is
a dispute about Roby's birthplace. Howe's genealogy says she was
born
in New York, but descendents say she was born in Quebec Province, on
February
6, 1836. She is alleged to belong to the Chapman family of "Johnny
Appleseed"
fame and most certainly descends from the Chapmans of CT. As a small
child
Samuel moved to Farmer, Defiance, Ohio. Samuel moved to Aspen, CO in
the
heyday of the mineral boom and was living there as a miner, in the
1880's.
Elizabeth Beglinger Von Suskil, told me that Great Grandpa Samuel was a
friend
of Abraham Lincoln's during the Civil War, and that was why he named
his
son, after him.
