| Notes |
- From "The Bigelow Family Genealogy" Patience Bigelow:
"The immigrant ancestor of nearly all persons in North America bearing the surname Bigelow in any of its several variants, is John Biglo of Watertown, Middlesex Co., MA. He lived from 1617 to 1703. Many of his descendants have been recorded in a genealogy called "Genealogy of the Bigelow Family of America" written by Gilman Bigelow Howe, printed 1890 ... Howe states that he was unable to obtain any satisfactory account of the progenitor of John Biglo, and quotes conflicting traditions stating that the surname is of various national origins. He also quotes the late genealogist H.G. Somerby, who felt that John Biglo came from Wrentham, Suffolk, England, and was the son of Randall and Jane Beageley, who had their youngest son, John, baptised 16 Feb 1617 ....[further evidence]..
John Biglo seems to have arrived in Watertown, MA circa 1632. He probably came with an older relative, Elizabeth Bigelow, second wife of Deacon Richard Butler... John Biglo took part in the Pequot War of 1636, serving from Watertown. The next public mention we find of him is his marriage in Watertown on 30 Oct 1642 -- the first marriage recorded in Watertown -- before Mr. Nowell, to Mary Warren, daughter of John and Margaret Warren. Mary Warren was baptised 12 Sep 1624 at Nayland, Suffold, England ...
John Biglo appears by various accounts to have been a blacksmith .. [he] was chosen a surveyor of highways in 1652 and 1660, a constable in 1663 and one of the selectmen in 1665, 1670 and 1671. His homesite consisted of six acres and was bounded north by Richard Ambler and William Parker, east by Thomas Straight, south by the highway, and on the west by Miles Ives. "
