I stumbled on to your work today and was enormously delighted to
see the headstones of my Bigelow line for me to study. I haven't worked
on these line for a long time. I sent the information I had and found
on to Alaska to the Bigelow family but I never had the headstones.
In fact this is the first that I have seen of them. I will have to
see if you have anything else that I do not have and see if I can contribute
to your work in any way. So I will have to get back to you on this.
The above reference did not appear on Mark Bigelow and Orilla Sutfin Smith.
I later found a goodly bunch of material on the Sutphen Family in N.J. and
found Orilla's father's information in the Revolutionary War archives.
He was in one of the main troups of George Washingtons and he of course went
to other areas during the war. I have a few stories that I learned
about this group.
Do you know anything more on Rachel Wheeler's family. I can not find
out a whole bunch about her family. There was stated to be a plate
in our family that came originally from the Mayflower. I don't find
any decendant from the Mayflower except I have not found a whole lot about
Alexander Smith's family. Smith's could be from the Mayflower.
The Wheeler family however, come from Brewsters. So this could be it.
But in the Wheeler family that I have checked does not have this Rachael
Wheeler identified in any of their books. The Wheelers came from Conneticut
near the Bigelow Family.
I have a number of Mark Bigelow family. His daughter Ida Ellen is my
grandmother on my father's side of the family.
How can I get some photo copies of the Bigelow grave stones. Clinton
Co., N.Y. is not very helpful to most of my relatives who have gone there
to get genealogical information. It appears that the library closed
it doors to genealogical persuits. I was in Clinton Co. N.Y. about
32 years ago and we were unable to find what I had tried to pursue. You cannot
imagine how joyful I am to see this information, especially the
headstones.
Please contact me, We may be able to help each other. I may desire
to know more on Hiram's family.

Can't tell you how happy
I was to come across your Bigelow Society postings......have long been curious
about the relationships between the families represented by the markers in
the Turner/Roberts cemetery. Had just returned from a McKinney family
reunion in Plattsburgh this weekend including trips to the South Plattsburgh
cemetery and the Turner /Roberts house. My wife's family connections are
McKinney/Roberts James McKinney married Amarilla Roberts dau of Major John
Roberts III Christmas day 1815 at Salmon River. Amarilla's brother
P.J.Roberts was the occupant of the house and his marker was found along
with that of his two wives behind the home among the sumac & Lilacs.
He was Justice of the Peace for the town.
Two items for you Mark Bigelow's wife Orilla Sutphen Smith is the
daughter of Alexander Smith and Henrietta Sutphen and the SISTER of Sidney
Sutphen Smith Julia McKinneys husband. The bulk of the Smith family moved
to Wisconsin about 1865 and settled in Winnebago Co. (Vinland Twp) I
was there less than a month ago while visiting my daughter in Fond Du Lac
and made a trip to the Allenville cemetery where I was delighted to find
the bulk of the Smith clan interred. The second item is for Polly Bigelow we have no record of
a Jeremiah Roberts but have her married to Christopher Roberts son of John
Roberts Jr. and Ednah Hillard.....I think if you take a close look at her
marker you will see it is Christopher and not Jeremiah. Hope this is helpful!
When I get a chance to go through the rest of the Bigelow listings I might
have some questions for you. If I can be of help do not hesitate to contact
me.
