The "Laphams in America" book says that Sarah Lapham, daughter of Reuben and Elizabeth Finch Lapham, married Revilo Bigelow and had a daughter Freida. The source for this marriage is a family member, Florence Lapham Raab. Florence was mixing up two different Sarahs. The mother of Freida Bigelow was Sarah Wilbur, Sarah Lapham's niece, and she died in 1858.
