Thank you for your great genealogy pages on the Bigelow family. I am related by marriage to the great grandson of William Rufus Bigelow. I believe there are possible errors on your page for William Rufus. His wife's name was Maggie Wickson (not Wilkerson) and the children were named Ernestine, Inez, Edna, Louise and Paul. Here is a link to Maggie's page on the Sharlot Hall Museum website in Prescott, AZ.
