15 Samuel 2 BIGELOW, fifth child and fourth son of John1 and Mary (WARREN) BIGELOW, was born 28 October 1653 in Watertown, Massachusetts. On 03 June 1674 he married Mary FLAGG, daughter of Thomas and Mary (maiden name unknown (Gershom (see below))) FLAGG. Mary was born in Watertown 14 January 1658.( There is some confusion on date of birth of Mary (FLAGG) BIGELOW. Pauline Landers mailto:< paulcoltey@earthlink.net > wrote me in Dec 1997 and offered a very reasonable explanation. If Mary was born 14 June 1653, she would be 67 yrs and 3 mos on her death on 07 September 1720, which is clearly marked on headstone. Therefore we can conclude that Jun was confused with Jan, and 1653 with 1658, both common mistakes.)

   Howe's Bigelow genealogy gives no death date for Samuel, stating that the will was probated 21 February 1731. However Waltham town records clearly give Samuel's death as 01 February 1732, and since Samuel's son Thomas lived in Waltham from 1720 onward, we assume that Samuel and wife spent their declining years in Thomas' home. Mary,wife of Samuel died 07 September 1720; her death is recorded both Watertown and Waltham. Their headstones are still visible in Waltham in 1996 (ROD). 

Samuel and Mary (FLAGG) BIGELOW had ten children, all born Watertown, MA:

151 John, b 09 May 1675; died Marlborough 08 Sept 1769; married 12 June 1696 Jerusha GARFIELD. Resided Marlborough. 12 children.

152 Mary, b 12 Sept 1677; died 1707 Sudbury; married (1) 02 Feb 1700 David BRUCE, who died within a few months, and (2) 1701 Thomas READ jr. 5 children

153 Samuel, 18 Sept 1679; died about 1734 Marlborough; married (1) 28 Mar 1705 Ruth WARREN, his second cousin, who died 1716; (2) 04 Dec 1716 Mary GLEASON. Resided Marlborough. 9 children.

154 Sarah, b 0l Oct 1681; died before 1713; married 11 Dec 1706 Josiah HOWE. Resided Marlborough. 3 children.

155 Thomas, b 24 Oct 1683; died Waltham 06 Oct 1756; married 12 July 1705 Mary LIVERMORE. Resided Marlborough to 1720,then Waltham. 9 children. This is the Liut. Thomas and Mary (LIVERMORE) Biglo buried with Samuel

156 Mercy(Martha), b 14 Apr 1685; all other references to her are as "Mercy"; died Weston 23 Feb 1745; married 02 Jan 1707 Thomas GARFIELD. Resided Weston, which was set off from Watertown in 1713. 11 children.

157 Abigail, b 07 May 1687; died unknown date at Colchester or Killingly, CT; married 01 Aug 1710 Jonathan CUTLER. Both Bigelow and Cutler genealogies state that Abigail was mother of Jonathan's 3 oldest children, baptised in Lexington, MA, but she may have died soon after her father, and that Jonathan remarried. He had 6 children in all.

158 Hannah, no birthdate; died at Westborough about 1717; married 24 May 1711 her second cousin Daniel WARREN jr, who married (2) about 1717 Mehitable GARFIELD. Hannah had 3 children.

159 Isaac, b 19 May 1691; died 11 Sept 1751 Colchester, CT; married 29 Dec 1709 Mary BOND. Resided Colchester, CT. 11 children.

15A Deliverance, b 22 Sept 1695; died unknown date at Worcester, MA; married 10 Aug 1715 John STEARNS. Resided Worcester. Howe's Bigelow genealogy alleges that she left many descendants, but the writer cannot identify more than 5 of her children.

<p> </p><p> 15 Samuel 2 BIGELOW, fifth child and fourth son of John1 and Mary(WARREN) BIGELOW, was born 28 October 1653 in Watertown,Massachusetts. On 3 June 1674 he married Mary FLAGG, daughter ofThomas and Mary (maiden name unknown) FLAGG. Mary was born inWatertown 14 Jan 1658.( There is some confusion on date of birth ofMary (FLAGG) BIGELOW. Pauline Landers wrote me in Dec 1997 and offereda very reasonable explanation. If Mary was born 14 Jun 1653, she wouldbe 67 yrs and 3 mos on her death on 7 Sept 1720, which is clearlymarked on headstone.
