Hi Rod...My name is Vernon Whiting and I was introduced to
your web-site
by a cousin while I was searching for descendants of a James L.
Bigelow who
married Harriet Vargason (my mother was a Vargason). I found
James,
but was
unable to get into the site...said I needed to contact you.
While perusing
your site, I found something very interesting...We are apparently
distant
cousins on the Whiting side also. Your John Bigelo's sister,
Elizabeth
and Richard Butler are my 8th great grandparents. Susanna
Butler married
Elisha Whiting, Sr. I have them all in my database...small
world, huh?
I would be
very interested in what info you have on James...do you know the
names of
his children?? Thank you so much for your time.
Vern

In the FWIW department, the following paragraph was copied from
the Buchanan
County, IA Genweb site.
It is a bit more detailed than what was copied from the book and
what is
posted on your website.
J. L. Bigelow was born in Troy, Bradford county, Pennsylvania, in
the year
1823. When still a boy he went with his father, R. D. Bigelow, to
Upper Canada,
where he lived about four years, when they moved to Wisconsin,
where he worked
at the blacksmith trade about ten years. He came to Iowa in May,
1850, where,
locating in Washington township, he spent three years. Bought the
place where
he still resides, in Williamsburgh, in 1868. Farming and
blacksmithing were
his principal business. Mr. Bigelow was married in 1847, to Miss
Harriet
E. Varyason (fifty three years old), of Wisconsin. They have five
children:
Sabina E., thirty-three, single; Charlotte E., thirty, married
William Scott
Cushman, resides in this county; Amanda Melvina, twenty-eight,
married Stephen
C. Roddel, who died in 1873; John Day, twenty-seven, single; James
B., twenty-two.
Mr. Bigelow was one of the early pioneers. There were only two
married men
in Independence at the time he came. He ground the corn for his
bread seven
weeks, in a coffee-mill. He has passed seventeen days at a time
without seeing
the face of a white man. There was only one corn mill in the
county, and
people came for sixty miles to grind. They could grind about two
bushels
a day. Though they can remember some severe hardships, yet they
look upon
those days as being full of pleasure and happiness. True
fellowship then
existed.
