I would like the following message posted to the Bigelow query
board
and in The Forge.
Mary Ann BIGELOW, born abt 1815, married William WILLSON abt
1836. The family legend says Mary Ann's father and brothers
were
doctors and did not approve of her choice of a husband. It
is
also said that she is related to the Bigelows in the carpet
industry
and Herbert Huse Bigelow
of Brown and Bigelow. William and Mary Ann appear on
the
1850
Census,
Allegheny Twp, Venango Cnty, PA; from here they moved
to
Iowa. by 1870 they have three more children: Samuel
Elija-
b: 1851, Israel- b: 1853, and Lucinda- b 1857.
In
1856, 72 year old Martha Bigleow lives with the family. She
is
gone by 1860. Husband
William is no longer with the family in the 1860 Census. I
am
eager
to find a connection to Mary Ann
BIGELOW. I have descendent information to share.
