 Note 2022:
I have been trying to figure why I had an error message concerning the marriage of James Clinton Bigelow and Rose Haufer. The Bigelow site shows it as 1911 in New York.  That means Rose was 13, because her birth has been confirmed as December 1898, in New York.
In confirming James' birth, in the N.S. Archives registry of births, I found his registration.  It was a delayed Registration, because there was no surviving document from 1892.  In January 1976, James swore an oath that he was born in 1892, and where, and produced the family Bible as proof.  On that document, his marriage was reported as 7 Feb 1923, at the Baptist parsonage in Windsor, NS. m in error 13 September 1911
Don't know how 1911 got in there, but it is not right.  And Rose was not 13. She was 25.

Subject: Info on Rose Anna Hoffer Bigelow's mother...
Date: Tue, 12 Feb 2008 21:53:17 -0500
From: Colleen Kurka <jxc94@optonline.net>
I am a descendant of Flora Lawry's brother William Lawry and I am doing my family tree .....I was wondering if you could help me with some questions I may have??
 I am looking for more information on Flora Lawry's father Ebenezer Morton Lawry....I don't know who his parents were or siblings...as well Flora's mother Elizabeth Gallager or Elizabeth James (don't know her last name)??
 If there is any way you can help me answer these questions, I would be eternally grateful...I have been searching for this information for a LONG time.....
 If you don't know this information but someone else in your family does, could you please forward this letter to them??
 
I am researching the geneaology of my family and I found my gr aunt's name on your website.   Apparantly, my gr grandfather (William Lawry)
 was Flora Lawry's brother.....and we know that Flora Lawry's daughter was Rosanna Hoffer-Bigelow......
Does anyone in your family have information on Flora Lawry or her parents? Was Rosanna's brothers and sisters from the same father (Wm
Hoffer) or did Flora Lawry re-marry when she got to Novia Scotia? I have more questions but the main one is Flora Lawy's parents....I am
trying to get back further in the family tree and can't.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your time...the website is great!!
THANKS!  Colleen Kurka

Note:
In 1997, I received an email from Tasha Bigelow from Acadia University. She stated her father's name was James Robert Bigelow, mother Barbara June (Wilson). Her Grandparents were Ruth and Foster Bigelow. Foster's father was named James Bigelow. This family used to own and run shipyard at Canning, NS many years ago. Her parents now live in Blomidon. My suspicion is this is Tasha's family line.
From another source, wife of James Foster was Linda Cox, with child James Bigelow marrying Penny _____ ; They had a son named Shawn Basil Bigelow, b 1978.............................ROD

Mr: Bigelow:
I noticed on this page of the Bigelow Society website, you make reference to my
grandfather and grandmother, James Foster (Foss), and Ruth Bigelow. I also noticed the reference to an e-mail written by my
cousin Tasha Bigelow from 1997. Her father James, my father Steven, and their brother John, are the three children of Ruth and Foss Bigelow. John has a son and a daughter, James had two sons and a daughter, and Steven has two sons, myself and my brother.
Also mentioned in this page is the family shipbuilding operation that was very important to the small community of Canning.
Presently there is a monument in Canning that is dedicated to the Bigelow family and their contribution to the community
throughout its history. I am unsure if it was the Bigelow society that was responsible for erecting this monument.
I hope this information is useful to you, and if you have any questions, I’d be happy to help.
Sincerely,
Jeffrey Scott Bigelow
