 Hi Rod...My name is Vernon Whiting and I was introduced to your web-site by a cousin while I was searching for descendants of a James L. Bigelow who married Harriet Vargason (my mother was a Vargason).  I found James, but was
unable to get into the site...said I needed to contact you.  While perusing your site, I found something very interesting...We are apparently distant cousins on the Whiting side also.  Your John Bigelo's sister, Elizabeth and Richard Butler are my 8th great grandparents.  Susanna Butler married Elisha Whiting, Sr.  I have them all in my database...small world, huh?  I would be
very interested in what info you have on James...do you know the names of his children??  Thank you so much for your time.
Vern
