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. [1] - See also http://bigelowsociety.com/rod/joseph3c.htm [5]
