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.
