I would like to see if our ancestry links at some point in time.My
Great Aunt,(Joan Bigelow)my dads aunt, owns a 90 acre farm in Millis MA
and has some of our family history in it.I think I remember the last
name Payson
being in there somewhere.An old portrait of a man named Doolittle
Ashley
falls in there somewhere also.Even more exciting is an older relative
whom
I believe is still alive named Julian Bigelow (see link).This
brilliant
man who I believe was affiliated with some Ivy league college in L.A.
supposedly worked with Albert Einstein.I will have to look into this
more and I will get back to you
A.S.A.P when I have more info.Apparently my family had gone from
England
to Cuba(Tobacco Plantations) to the U.S.(Millis MA) and purchased the
1/4
farm.Nice to see the Bigelow name out there.
More:
I am unsure of a lot of things such as exact birthdates etc, but here
is what I do know: Brother of Joan Bigelow( My great aunt I guess)
Richard Bigelow (My grandfather) His wife Grace (Slack)Bigelow.Their
children,Richard Jr died
in an automobile accident in the early sixties.My father Ashley
Bigelow.His sisters: Kate(Bigelow)Dupre,Betsy(Bigelow)Padula,and
Victoria(Bigelow)Lorenzo.Now my immediate family from 1st to last(More
familiarly Bigelow used names)James Payson Bigelow,Brian Ashley
Bigelow,Edward Marc Bigelow(Me),Janice Heidi
Bigelow,Michelle Himely Bigelow.Parents are Ashley Bigelow and Sandra
Lee
(Boschen)Bigelow.Both grew up in Norfolk MA.Norfolk MA is one town over
from
Millis MA where the Bigelow farm still exists.Children of Joan Bigelow
and
probable Heirs to the Millis Estate are the adopted Amanda Bigelow and
Asa
Bigelow.One of these children was adopted from Venezuela and the other
from
Chile.Well thats all for now.If you need any more specifics from my
side
let me know.I will try to get birthdates and so forth of my elder
relatives
and their places of birth as they become available.Contact me anytime.
Sincerely,
Master Edward M. Bigelow

Greetings, I have been in contact with Joan Bigelow
through the years and am a descendant from the Himely family my
name is Peter Sigismund Brune and I live in suburban Kansas City.
This past May I travelled to France and spent time
with Jerome Himely exploring our common roots. I remember
spending
time with Bushnell Bigelow at his farm with my
father Percy Julius Brune. I marvel at your website.
Best Peter
