Great Grandaughter Pat Reed of West Chesterfield,
New York, reedme@sover.net wrote in July 2000:
"My great grandfather, Fred Clark Bigelow was born 8/2/1860 in Westport,
New York. He was a blacksmith and farmer. He married Myra P.
Sweet, born in Moores Forks, New York or Wood Falls, New York. He died
10/28/1917 and is buried in Johnson, Vermont.
His brothers and sister were Edward, William, Arthur, (Marshall) Ernest
and Mable, children of William, born in Westport, New York and Mary (Croch)
also of Westport. I don't have any other information on them, birth
dates, etc.
Fred was born in Westport, New York on 2 August 1860 and is buried in
Lamoil View Cemetery in Johnson, Vermont having died 10/28/1917. Mom
didn't know if her great grandfather William had been married twice, once
to Mary Croch, and also to Albertine Reynolds, but it is certainly possible.
