Dear Rod,
I love your site. It
may very easily hold the key to my brick wall. I am able to go as far as
"john joshua jonathan james james james james
james and then I get the page with oops on it. I am looking for Edward
James or James Edward Bigelow b. 1860's. He came to Wisconsin from St.
Albans, Maine. Many of my fathers 13 siblings share common names with
James and Louisa (Abbe) Bigelows children and I am hoping to find him as
a cousin. Thank-you for all the hard work creating this wonderful site!
Sincerely,
Dawn Bigelow -Ingram

Thank-you! Family oral history has my g-grandfather, Ed Bigelow
born Feb 1861 or 1867. He left St. Albans (some say fled, because
of some trouble) as a young man and went to Stiles, Wisconsin. He
married Anna Tapin and worked on the railroad. I wonder if Edwin b
1858 deserves a closer look from me. I need to order the Bigelow Family
Book from your web site. Your time is very much appreciated!

This concerns my great-great grandfather 16251.251 JAMES 8 BIGELOW V.
His son JAMES 9 EDWARD BIGELOW married
ELSA MAXWELL first. The intentions of this marriage were posted
22 Nov. 1875 at ST ALBANS, MAINE I found no information stating they
had children. They went west. (Wisconsin was considered west in those
days:) This information came from A HISTORY OF ST ALBANS, MAINE, by GLADYS
BIGELOW. I also have lots of census information.
JAMES 9 EDWARD BIGELOW later married my g-grandmother ANNA TAPPA or TAPIN.
(TAPIN is pronounced TAPPA in French) JAMES 9 and ANNA TAPIN BIGELOW
had seven children. Their third child EDWARD JAMES BIGELOW is my grandfather.
JAMES 9 (he went by Ed) and ANNA TAPIN BIGELOW also named their oldest son
JAMES EDWARD BIGELOW so there is a James 10.
I don't know why they named one son EDWARD JAMES and the other JAMES EDWARD
but they did and they both survived and married sisters and had children.
I have all the JAMES 9 and ANNA'S seven childrens names and birth dates
and their spouses. I sent this information in family group sheets to
the web site several years ago and it was never entered.
The two notes at the end of JAMES 8 BIGELOW V page are notes I sent when
I first suspected he was my line. I have many source references and
am not sure if someone else provided information or mine was misunderstood. My
great grandfathers obit stated he came from St. Albans, Maine.
I have not been able to prove it but I believe Elsa Maxwell Bigelow later
married a man named CHARLES EDWIN CLASS and was stepmother to his two children.
Thank-you,
Dawn Bigelow-Ingram
