Hello Rod
I was admiring the very extensive Bigelow material you have assembled on your website. I am seeking information on a Joseph S.Bigelow, who was President of the House of Good Samaritan, 6 McLean St, Boston in 1900. (now integrated into Mass Gen Hospital in Blossom St, Boston).  He might be the Joseph Smith Bigelow of Boston and Cohasset who figures in your Bigelow list. My grandaunt Elizabeth Mongan was a patient and died there in July 30, 1925.
I wonder if you might have information on Joseph S. Bigelow's role and career as President of that now long gone, acute care institution.
Many thanks
Norman Mongan

Bryant Note:
In August 2007, the Bigelow Society received a note from Anne J. Allen from London, UK. It follows:
     Transcribing the manuscript Diaries of one of my forebearers (Paul Buchenel 1848-1924), I came across the family of Dr. Henry Bryant, his wife- Elizabeth Bremmer Sojier-
and their 4 children: (see below)
     The diaries refer in detail of the two summers my ancestor spent with the Bryants in 1866-67 in Switzerland, neighboring countries, and Wales in the UK. Intrigued, I started researching the Bryant family and their descendants. It appears that Mary Cleveland Bryant is the only one to have issue, still alive today, connected to the Bryants by marriage into the Bigelow family - to Joseph Smith Bigelow.
     The Diary records in great and amusing detail the life of two young students on a Grand Tour. They were given carte blanche with a proviso that the older of the two- i.e. my forebear- would coach John B. in Latin - in those days a prerequisite if John was to be accepted as a pupil in college Latin in Neuchatel, Switzerland. The Bigelow Society may be interested in these pages for their archives??.........annepge@hotmail.com

Elizabeth Bryant, b 13 Oct 1948;
