Notes - Jonathan Bigelow of Hartford, Conn., son of Jonathan and Rebecca (Shepherd) Bigelow, was born in Hartford, March 22, 1673, and married Dec. 14, 1699, Mabel Edwards, daughter of Richard and Elizabeth (Tuthill) Edwards. She was born Dec. 13, 1685, and died in Hartford, May 14, 1765. She was a relative of Rev. Jonathan Edwards the theologian. He settled near his father's in Wethersfield Lane and died July 29, 1749. His will, dated Nov. 16, 1738, and proved Oct., 1749, mentions wife Mabel, daughters Jerusha, Rebecca, Mabel, and Irena, and sons Timothy and Jonathan, and by the records in clerk's office at Hartford we find that John Poogotoon (Indian) and Sarah his wife, with the consent of their master, Thomas Reeves of Southold, Long Island, did bind themselves to serve Jonathan Bigelow four and one half years and their son Sampson for nineteen years and six months till he was 21 years of age, dated July 12, 1723. Their children were probably born in Hartford, but owing to the defective records of those days we have the birth of but two, and find the rest of the children on the records of the First Church among the baptisms, and the following are the children as we find from the scanty records:
1. Timothy, b. June 20, 1702; m. Abigail Olcutt; lived in Hartford.
2. Mabel, b. Nov. 12, 1704; m. Daniel Marsh.
3. Joseph, bapt. Sept. 15, 1706.
4. Rebecca, bapt. Dec. 5, 1708; d. Jan. 8, 1754, unm.
5. Irena, bapt. Nov. 4, 1711; m. Daniel Marsh.
6. Jonathan, bapt. June 27, 1714; m. Tabitha [Coleman].
7. Jekusha, bapt. June 23, 1717; m. Elisha Butler.
8. Anne, bapt. Jan. 7, 1721.
