Decendant note:
I am related to Freedom. My line goes from Freedom and his wife Susanna Kathan to David b. 1809 who married Hannah Bradford in Madison co. OH. David and Hannah had Manson b. 9 Feb 1843, d. 9 May 1902 in Allen Co. OH. Manson m. Mariah Catherine Bowsher in 1874, she the dau. of Madison Bowsher and Mariah Luckhart.
Manson and Catherine had my grandfather, Harry Lambert Bigelow b. 1898 in Auglaize Co. OH.
I am starting to scan pictures into my data. I have Mariah Catherine Bowsher's pic, but not her husband Manson Bigelow. Would you know of someone related to this family who might have a picture of Manson Bigelow? Or too, any of his earlier family??????
Thanks!

Comments: I am the granddaughter of Mabel Mae Bigelow, married name Detrick, daughter of Madison Bigelow and Sarah Sampson, of Spencerville, Ohio.
We are descendants of Samuel Biglo/Bigelow.
More from Pamela:
A follow-up to the Joshua Manson line.
Catherine Bowsher was the first in our line to autosomal dominant piebaldism, which has continued in our family for more than seven generations.
We have a picture of Catherine in which it is easy to see her white forelock, though her hair had been colored dark.
It is wonderful to see her among the relatives mentioned on this page.


Subject: I was looking for family
I am Charlys Mary Ward, Granddaughter of Edward Emery Bigelow of Indiana . I live in Monticello KY. With my husband Silas Jackson Ward.
My Grand Father Edward Emery Bigelow married to Grandma Zolman and she had a daughter Violet Selda Zolman and Grandma Zolman died at child birth. My Mother's sister Mable Bassie married my Grandpa Bigelow & adopted my Mother Violet Selda Zolman from Grandma Zolman . They were married 68 years. My grandpa Edward Emery Bigelow married Mable Violet Bassie after child birth .Violet Selda Zolman Bassie (my Mother) married Charles Joseph Taylor of North Dakota. His father was Jessie Taylor and wife Emma Brossoit. My mother or family never talked about Grandpa's side of the family? I don't know why? Mom had a painting of a mountain lion on her front room wall, she said Grandpa's brother Fred Bigelow painted it. And he also painted church cathedrals by hand. I never got the chance to know him, or see his picture. I would love to know about my Grandpa Bigelow side of the family. I loved my Grandpa dearly and Grandma . They helped raise me! I had a sister Selda Lynn Taylor and Brother Jay Edward Taylor too.
I hope we can find out some answers about my family history.
Sincerely, Charlys Mary Ward  <sjw711481@windstream.net>
