Descendant note:
My BIGELOW data is currently in the form of notes
and letters collected by my great grandmother Adda Timmons MOSS in the 1890's.
Perhaps of greatest interest to you and other researchers is a copy she made
of notes of an interview with Dr. Eliphaz BIGELOW (probably the Israel
Eliphaz Bigelow whose bio is on your site.) He was a nephew of her grandmother
Mary Milvina BIGELOW who had married William D. Daugherty. Her mother
was Mary Dimmis Daugherty. Adda's uncle G. W. Darety (sic) conducted the interview.
The notes include the family information on the CUSTIS (not CURTIS) family
and it's connection to George Washington. I have been amazed that the misspelling
of this name as CURTIS persists. Most history books speak of the CUSTIS family
relations to Washington. In my mother's possession is a cloisonne and pearl
pin that is supposed to have been owned/worn by Martha Washington. I have
no documentation of this but have heard of this and the CUSTIS family since
I was a child. My grandfather, Adda's son had told the story. Finding the
notes was both exciting and disappointing. Exciting
because it leant credence to the pin's story; disappointing because it showed
no direct relation to the CUSTIS family. Eliphaz's notes also include the
battle his greatgrandfather Isaac was supposed to have been in the Rev War.
I too, have had no luck finding his service.
