My grandmother, who is 90, is the only daughter of Frank Milton Speer
Bigelow who was the son of Dr. James Harvey Bigelow who was interred in Andersonville
Prison Camp during the Civil War. My Uncle recently did an interesting
paper about his civil war service and internment. Amazingly enough he
did survive. I had no idea there was a Bigelow family organization.
I'm tickled to find out there is and can't wait to tell my Grandmother.

I used the index to look up my father's grandfather, James H. of McAlevy's
Fort, Pa, -- blacksmith, doctor, Civil War vet (supposedly prisoner at Andersonville--his
widow collected pension, but not listed at Andersonville) and he wasn't in
the index. Should I be concerned? JoAnne Bigelow Tuffnell

Where did you get the possible information that Frank Milton and Lucy Alice
Clark Bigelow had 3 children? None of us grandchildren have ever heard of
this. Also, I so enjoy corresponding with Trisha Hayward, 1st cousin once
removed (!) and asked her where she got the "Speer" for "Frank Milton Speer
Bigelow" because I never ever heard that. She said it was in something her
grandfather (son-in-law of Frank) had written. I believe "Speer" should be
dropped.. JoAnne

My BIGELOW data is currently in the form of notes
and letters collected by my great grandmother Adda Timmons MOSS in the 1890's.
Perhaps of greatest interest to you and other researchers is a copy she made
of notes of an interview with Dr. Eliphaz BIGELOW (probably the Israel
Eliphaz Bigelow whose bio is on your site.) He was a nephew of her grandmother
Mary Milvina BIGELOW who had married William D. Daugherty. Her mother
was Mary Dimmis Daugherty. Adda's uncle G. W. Darety (sic) conducted the interview.
The notes include the family information on the CUSTIS (not CURTIS) family
and it's connection to George Washington. I have been amazed that the misspelling
of this name as CURTIS persists. Most history books speak of the CUSTIS family
relations to Washington. In my mother's possession is a cloisonne and pearl
pin that is supposed to have been owned/worn by Martha Washington. I have
no documentation of this but have heard of this and the CUSTIS family since
I was a child. My grandfather, Adda's son had told the story. Finding the
notes was both exciting and disappointing. Exciting
because it leant credence to the pin's story; disappointing because it showed
no direct relation to the CUSTIS family. Eliphaz's notes also include the
battle his greatgrandfather Isaac was supposed to have been in the Rev War.
I too, have had no luck finding his service.

Also, on my Dad's (Claude Illingsworth) page, after his
name and marriage, you have "children of Frank and Doris Eleanor" instead
of "children of Claude (who detested his name, although he loved his Aunt
Claudia, for whom he was named--he was always called Bud) and (Doris) Eleanor.
My mom's name really was Doris Eleanor, but she was only known as Eleanor.
(People should name children what they want to call them!!!) Also,
my mom, Doris Eleanor Saunders Bigelow, died October 26, 1998, at home in
Wolfeboro, New Hampshire, after a valiant battle with cancer.
