Lebbeus Loomis was son of Israel and Eunice (Kathan) Bigelow, was double
cousin of Ittia Bigelow, son of Freedom and Susannah (Kathan) Bigelow, (sisters),
to 1997 Bigelow Society genealogist/historian.
Lebbeus Loomis ("also Lummis") sic Vol. II, p. 139 was born 1799 at Ballston
Spa, Saratoga Co., New York. While a boy, his father moved the family
too Center co., PA and there, 31 Aug 1820 he married Elizabeth Custer,
daughter of George and Catherine (Leatherman) Custer. Lebbeus studied
medicine and began practice in Greene Co., Pennsylvania then in Adamsburg,
Westmoreland Co., Pennsylvania where he was located for over 30 years.
He was a member of the Reform convention in 1837 which met to revise the
constitution of Pennsylvania. He was elected to the State Legislature
in 1851 and served three terms and was an active Mason, as well as an Oddfellow.
!2 children by 1st marriage and 5 children by 2nd marriage. Death
date given as 197_--
Floyd Ellsworth Jr. has three girl cousins:
one of Largo, Florida, one of Miami, Florida and one born in Anderson,
Indiana. Joyce, the oldest visited him in 1993 and 1994. He
had not seen her since the 1940's. His father died at age 53 of kidney
failure. He had been told that lead had settled in his kidneys and
caused his death. He had worked in a lead mine. Coal mines also have
lead in them?
His dad's sister Nancy (Hooper) was married
3 times and had two children. One died in an operation and the son
Daniel is married and has children and lives in Houston, Texas. Floyd
has an ancester whose wife was from Marion, Illinois. His sister has
informtion on Charlie Bigelow who was supposed to have been buried instead
of Jesse James in his grave, (since proven to be false). Floyd said
it wasn't even Charlie--but the name he used. It was Isaac, who used
his brother, Charlie's name, a friend of Jesse James in the 1880s.
Floyd had visited Aurora, Missouri and noticed they had been well-to-do,
but he saw no visible means of support for his great grandfather, Isaac Bigelow.
He wondered if he was fencing goods of the James' gang. Joplin, Missouri
is the mining country, not Aurora. Floyd's dad was pretty much away
from the family by the time he was 12 years of age. His mother and
sister lived in Houston and did Ironings and sewing for people. He
was devoted to his mother and sister. They were very poor.
