Rachel BIGELOW, daughter of Gale ( Jabez 4 , Gershom 3, Joshua2, John1) and Almy (GARDNER) BIGELOW, was born 26 June 1805 at Lebanon, Columbia County, NY.
She married, on 27 Feb 1825, Jesse Van Ness. He was born 17 December 1802 at Chatham, Columbia county, NY. They farmed at Malden Bridge, in Columbia county, many years. He was also the postmaster and U.S. Marshall. In later years they moved to West Point township, Columbia county, WI. There Jesse died 29 November 1882, and Rachel then made her home with her daughter Mrs. Richmond until her death on 13 June 1902. Both are buried at Garden Bluff in West Point township.
In Rachel's latter years she, through a daughter, carried on a lively correspondence with Prof. Melville M. Bigelow. Their letters are preserved, and were printed in part in Forge: The Bigelow Society Quarterly, vols 4-5.
Rachel and her husband were friends and admirers of Pres. Martin Van Buren, once taking the train to Washington, D.C., to visit the White House. They even named a son after him.
