Dear Rod:

I went to the Bigelow pages you have on the Bigelow website, and checked out my lines, of course. I realized (since you have a VERY old e-mail address for me, on John (5), John (4),Joshua (3), Joshua (2), John (1) ) that it has been a long time since I gave you the information there, and that I have done a lot of research since, that I have not given you. When I got down to my grandfather, Frank James Bigelow, and tried to check it out, I got an "OOPS" message, and then nothing.

I will update these first generations, with additions, corrections, etc, and send it to you, Then, if you like, I'll send you what I have learned about the more recent generations, and send that, if you like,

One thing I'd like to correct right away, that is on John(5).

I joined the DAR on the record I found in the Patriots List of the DAR. In 1976 I went to Washington to a DAR Convention, and of course, went to the Library. I Looked at the records they had on this John Bigelow, and found that the Revolutionary War Records that they used as his were NOT his, but another JOHN Bigelow. (There were about 5 or 6 John Bigelows who fought in the Revolutionary War) This one, from where he died, was NOT my John!!! I intended to do the research on the others listed in the Mass. Soldiers and Sailors who fought in the Revolutionary War, but somehow, haven't gotten around to it. I DID check out another of my ancestors who fought in the RW, and filed his papers, so that I'm still a legitimate DAR, but the record they have given to him is NOT his, so I think you should eliminate the reference in the Bigelow Society records.

I still think he served in the RW, and would like to prove his right record, if I can (I like the idea of a direct Bigelow line back to the RW service) and feel that he probably served. He was the right age, living in the right place, and, as far as I know, able-bodied, so it would have been hard for him NOT to have fought, at least once.

I did check on the Conway, MA Library. He died in Conway, but they had no records in the Cemetery, or in any books that I saw there, that he was a RW Soldier.

Sincerely,

Janis Pahnke
