Individual Details

It has been thought that the Bigelow-Beagely family descended from one Richard, lord of Baguley, who lived during the 13th century. This opinion was based chiefly upon the supposition that a John Bigelow of Watertown, Massachusetts was the same man as a certain John Beagely, reputedly a son of the house of Baguley, who, according to parrish records, was born in Wrentham, Suffolk County England, on February 16, 1616-7. In fact, John Bigelow was baptised in the parish church of Wrentham, Suffolk, England on that date, the son of Randal and Jane Bigelow. The rector of Wrentham parish in 1617 was the Rev. John Phillips, who later emigrated to Dedham, Massachusetts. During his years in Dedham, Phillips once stated that the blacksmith John Biglo of Watertown, Massachusetts was the same infant whom he had baptized in 1617 as the son of Randall Beageley”. John was left an orphan by the deaths of both his parents within a space of two weeks in May, 1626. What epidemic took the lives of both parents is not known, nor is it known who cared for John in his youth. Randal and his wife were buried in the churchyard of St. Nicholas Church in Wrentham.
