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
