• Notes

  James Bigelow and his second wife Elizabeth Child were first cousins once removed, he being a grandson of John Warren (1585-1667) and his wife Margaret (d. 1662), and her being a great-granddaughter of the same couple. "As there is no reference to a son James, or his family in the father's Will, it might raise a doubt whether John had such a son but the record of his marriage, by Rev. Mr. Bailey, must remove all doubt. 'Upon the 25 March, 1687, at my own house, in Watertown, I married James Begalow, the son of John Begalow, and Patience Brown, the daughter of Jona. Brown, with their parents' full consent, being legally published,' &c." [Henry Bond, citation details below] Notwithstanding the above, James Bigelow does appear in his father's will, as reproduced in the Genealogy of the Bigelow Family in America (citation details below): "7. I give & bequeath unto my son James Biglo fifteen pounds, which I lent him as may appear by bond under his band and seal, and I give & bequeath to my said son James' son James Biglo ten pounds in money to be p'd him if he shall live to the age of twenty one years, but if it so happen that he deces. before s'd age, then ye s'd ten pounds to be equally devided between my s'd son James' surviving children, when they shall be of the age of twenty one years or day of marriage which shall first happon."
