Re: George Bigelow of LaFayette Co. WI.

Dear Dickie,

Yes, I have Abigail Bigelow as Isaac's sister. I never had the middle name of Prentiss....are we sure of this? How did you come to know this?

I have Isaac's parents as John Bigelow and Lydia Spring, thus Martha's middle name after her grandmother.

Children of John & Lydia Spring Bigelow:

Isaac b- abt 1785 NY md A. Prentice
Clarissa b- abt 11786 NY md J. Tripp
Ann b- 1789 NY md T. Howe d-19 Aug 1863
Abigail (twin) b- abt 1791 NY md William King
Lydia (twin) b- abt 1791 NY mda Horton
Martha b-abt 1793 NY md S. Whitman
Sally b- abt 1795 NY md A. Rowley
John Lorenzo (twin) abt 1800 NY md M. Davis
Catherine (Twin) b- abt 1800 NY md?

George Washington Bigelow....what more can you tell me of him? I was just looking at some ships' passengers to San Francisci from (Boston, I believe) and wonder if it was our George Bigelow. There were 2 Southers on the same ship. Perhaps for gold or to work with brother in law, W. H. Souther? It appears W. H. Souther was quite wealthy in CA. Do you know who George Married or when he went to California? Have you found him on any records?

Children of Isaac & Angeline Prentice Bigelow:

Ellen Augusta b-abt 1813 NY md D. Stevens in ILL
