From: NBar226227@aol.com
I am looking for information on John Porter Bigelow. He is
my great grandfather. He was born April 25, 1826 in New York.
He was Married to Sophia Van Buren.They had 2 sons Fred A. and LeRoy.
LeRoy is my grandfather. They came from New York to Strawberry
Pt. Iowa, then went to Missouri, then back to Walnut Iowa. They
were one of the first settlers of
Walnut . I know nothing else about John except that he
died August 30, 1901 in Manilla Iowa. I would appreciate any information
and would share the rest of the family info with anyone.
