John BIGELOW Sr. and Grace ALLEN were married on 29 November 1739 in Sudbury, Middlesex County, Massachusetts Bay Colony, British Colonial America.4

Notes from The Bigelow Society: "John and family seemed to move around a great deal. Births of the first 5 children recorded in Weston, MA.; and tradition says he then lived in Stow a few years (one child's birth was recorded there). Possibly other children may have been born there between 1745 and 1752, but no records confirm this. In 1752, he was in Acton, where four more children were recorded by 1760. In 1762 Westford town records state that John Bigelo and wife Grace, and children Lucy, Beulah, Sarah, Silas, Simeon, Molly, Grace, and Eunice were warned out of town, according to the custom of the time, and they had last come from Acton. John was a member of Capt. Samuel Davis' company in 1757, and it appears they did not leave Westford. In 1887 he and his son Silas moved from Westford to New Ipswich, NH, and tradition says John died there."
