Subject: BIGELOW - PHILLIPS Family Marriage Certificate
I've "rescued" an original marriage certificate originally belonging to J.
Arlington BIGELOW and his bride, Sara PHILLIPS who were married in Chicago,
Illinois on 21 June 1892. The wedding was officiated by Wm. M. LAWRENCE,
Pastor of the 2nd Baptist Church of Chicago. Based on limited research
I was able to gather the following information regarding the couple and their
families as follows:
John Arlington BIGELOW b. 25 Dec 1862 in Freeport, IL to parents John Arlington
BIGELOW (b. 16 Oct 1828 in Ashford, NY) and
Ellen LOVELAND (b. 12 Feb 1891 in Chicago, IL). The couple had 6 children
including,
Rudolph Adelbert;
Eloise;
William Jerald;
Cora;
John Arlington;
Ida May BIGELOW
all born in Freeport, IL between 1854 and 1864. John married Sarah J. PHILLIPS.
Census records provide the following:
1880 census of Chicago, IL:
Thomas PHILLIPS, age 40, born England, a House Mover, parents born England
Kate PHILLIPS, wife, age 32, born ME, at Home, parents born ME
Mary PHILLIPS, dau, age 15, born Chicago, at Home
Elizabeth PHILLIPS, dau, age 12, born Chicago
Sarah PHILLIPS, dau, age 9, born Chicago
Etta PHILLIPS, dau, age 7, born Chicago
Ida PHILLIPS, dau, age 3, born Chicago
Addie PHILLIPS, dau, age 3, born Chicago
Cora PHILLIPS, dau, age 2, born Chicago
Corrie BOYNTON, sister, age 23, born Chicago, parents born ME
I am hoping to locate someone from this family so that the marriage certificate
can be returned to their care. If you are a member of this
family, or you know someone who might be, please contact me.
Thanks,
Shelley
QUERY from October 99 Forge:
On my travels in northern CA, I found a well-preserved copy of Howe's
Genealogy of the Bigelow Family in an antique store. This note is inscribed
on the
front page: We can trace back to the Mayflower thru my grandmother, Mrs.
C.
C. BIGELOW (Roxana SAMPSON) who was a lineal descendent of the (Boy) Henry
SAMPSON who came over on the Mayflower. Mrs. Ida (BIGELOW) MERRELL.
In
other notes, Ida lists her birth, 16 May 1864 in Freeport, IL, her father,
John
ARLINGTON, b 16 Oct 1828, her grandfather, Charles C. BIGELOW, and her great-
grandparents, Job and Hannah BIGELOW. If there are direct descendants who
are
interested, I will (reluctantly) trade it for the Bigelow Family Genealogy,
Vol I.
