    Notes:

    Note on Find a Grave:
    Family records indicate that Gideon and Mary had five children, 3 boys and 2 girls: Samuel, Nathaniel, Gideon, Mary (Merrill) Steel and Hannah (Merrill) Merry.

    Gideon and Mary were my 5th great grandparents. It is exciting to have found them. His son Gideon (1749-1803), whose burial along with the other children is unknown, was a participant in the Revolutionary War.

    Apparently no tombstone(s) exist at this time. One person indicated that a grave marker was extant when the book on the cemetery was written in 1994 and may still be there in the middle of the north edge of the burying ground near what is called locally "the Gold Building" on Main Street in downtown Hartford.

    Wilterton Merrill was born 28 June 1675 in Hartford, Conn., and died 14 May 1755, having lived in Hartford all his life. Gregory Wilterton of Hartford, who is supposed to have been a connection of the family, at his death, in July 1674, left the larger portion of his estate to John Merrill, and John Merrill names his next-born son in honor of his benefactor. Wilterton Merrill was one of the original proprietors of the town of Winchester, Conn. in 1744, but he never lived there. He married (1) 1 Jan 1702/3 to Ruth Pratt, daughter of John and Hepzibah Pratt of Hartford; she was born 21 Dec 1677; he married (2) 20 Jan 1708/9 Hannah Waters, daughter of Bevil Waters of Hartford; she died 8 May 1730, age 49 and he married (3) Elizabeth, who survived him.

    Notes:

    From the Genealogy of the Bigelow family of America. Page 31.
    Joseph Bigelow of Hartford, Conn., son of Jonathan and Mary (Oloott) Bigelow, was born about 1690, and married May 21, 1718, Sarah Spencer, and settled in Hartford, where he died about 1731. On the death of his father he was appointed executor (with his step-mother) of the estate, and became a large land owner in Hartford. May 1, 1722, we find that Joseph Bigelow, son of Jonathan Bigelow, appeared at the Probate Court and appealed from the decision of the court in allowing Jonathan Butler to hold the property of John Bigelow, but was overruled on the appeal. His will dates Sept. 3, 1731, mentions wife Sarah; sons Joseph, Elisha and Josiah; daughters Sarah, Mary and Abigail, and kinsman Jona.Williams, probably his brother-in-law. To his daughters he gave eighty pounds each, and named his wife Sarah and son Joseph as executors. They were duly appointed as such Feb. 19, 1732. The children of Joseph were;
    Sarah, b. Sept 6, 1715.
    Joseph, b. June 9, 1717; married and lived in Hartford.
    Abigail, b. June 9, 1719; d. Oct. 27, 1729.
    Mary, bapt. July 2, 1721.
    Elisha b. June 22, 1723; M. Hannah Nichols, lived in Hartford.
    Josiah, b. Jan. 3, 1726, m. Elizabeth, lived in Hartford
    Abigail, b. Sept 2, 1729 (probably), m. Ichabod Wells, Jan. 3, 1751, son of Thomas and Jerusha (Treat) Welles.
