Genealogy of One Branch of the Bigelow Family, W H Bigelow, 1877, George E Selleck,Brattleboro, p3:
"Family Record.
"To Hudson's History of Marlboro Mass., I owe the possession of the following data of the earliest records of the Bigelow race.
"This family was early in the Country, and may be traced to a remote period in England, even to the reign of Henry the 3d, (1206) when the name was written Baguley, and was derived from the place where they dwelt. Richard, at that time, was Lord of Baguley, and his descendants took the name of the place. In the reign of Henry the 7th, (1485) Ralph de Baguley was Lord of Allerton Hall. He died in 1540, leaving Randall and Nicholas. Randall died in 1556, and his sons Phillip and Robert divided his estate. Robert died in 1582, leaving a son Randall, who moved to Suffolk County, England, and died in 1626, leaving two sons, Francis and John. Francis died in 1657, and gave by will a portion of his property to his brother John, then in New England, at Watertown, Mass.
"From the 'Genealogical Records of New England' I quote as follows:
"'John Bigelow, Watertown, MA, 1636, Blacksmith, son of Randall, of Wrentham in County of Suffolk England, baptized 16 Feb 1617 by the hand of Rev John Philip, the Rector, who came to our country two years after Bigelow did and lived some time at Dedham, but on the overthrow of the Bishops' domination in England went back to his old living.'
"The above named (1) John Bigelow married, 30 Oct 1642, Mary Warren, daughter of John Warren of Watertown MA, which was the earliest marriage on the town records.

John born 27 Oct 1643, lived in Hartford CT, no Children.
