Biography

Research Notes

As of 11 Jan 2019:

- Lucy’s dob - dod span is causing an error.

- as the profile stands now:

- she lived 138 years.

- when she was ~71 she married Ozias Lewis who was ~23 and started having children.

- the Biography reference supports Lucy b. 1702, d. 1840, m. Ozias 1773. Also states their tombstones still standing but doesn’t state where. This information is from a 1957 manuscript: http://maltby-genealogy.tripod.com/

there are profiles and online documents on ancestry.com supporting b. 8 Nov 1752.

I located numerous online references citing Lucy b. 1752:

The Bigelow Society Page (http://bigelowsociety.com/rod/luc52a33.htm) lists:

- “Bigelow Family Genealogy Volume 1”, page 93.

- Howe, “Bigelow Family of America”.

- “A Genealogical Register Of The Inhabitantas Of The Town Of Litchfield Conn.” by George C. Woodruff.

- Sanford-Shulsen Family Tree on RootsWeb (https://worldconnect.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sanford-shulsen&id=I4978) shows b. 8 Nov 1752.

other resources not researched:

- “Genealogy of the Bigelow Family of America: From the Marriage in 1642 of John Biglo to Mary Warren to 1890”; pub. 1890; Harvard College Library Feb 26 1891.

- “Report of the Bigelow Family Reunion at Lincoln Park, (Worcester, Mass.), Thursday, June 2, 1887”.

12 Jan 2019: Changed dob to 8 Nov 1752. Got error when saving because her mother (Unknown-104058) shows ~72 when Lucy was born.

She is sometimes listed as Lucia.
