I believe you have hit the Jackpot with what you have on Ethan
Bigelow. The Ethan that was born in 1833 and was married to Paulina
Hare seems to be
my great, great, great grandfather.I would appreciate any info you may
have
on his father,
Let me take this opportunity to thank you for your rapid response to my
inquiry about Ethan Cook Bigelow. ( I did not know that his middle name
was
Cook until I received your message. My info was gained from my
grandmothers
bible.We have him being born in Halifax, Vt. in 1834. Having a total of
five
children. Most of his children have the middle name of Sumner. His mate
was
Paulina Hare b..Kentucky 1841. His youngest son was Willis
Bigelow
b..1867. When I was a young lad, I recall
Willis living with us for a short time before his demise. Because of
the name Sumner being given to many of his children, I feel that there
must be a correlation with the other Bigelows from that area at that
time.Notably Thomas Sumner Bigelow who, because of his age could have
been Ethans father, I seemed to have reached an empasse with finding
Ethans father. Ethan died in and was buried at Chillicothe,
Illinois. (by your records in 1902. ) Whatever else you may have
that will lead me in the right direction I
would very much appreciate. I must, at this time congratulate you on
having
by far the best internet page that I have ever seen. I can see the time
and effort that you must devote to this love. I will also tell you that
it has been a driving influence on me to continue my quest for
furthur knowledge of my heritage.
