    38. Mercy; this is supposed to be the Martha who was recorded as b. April 4, 1686, as there is no further mention made of Martha and there is of Mercy, and she is said to have been born in 1686, that is thought to have been a mistake in the record. Mercy m. Jan. 2, 1707, Lieut. Thomas Garfield (or Gearfield as the name is sometimes written). He was the son of Capt. Benj. and Elizabeth (Bridge) Garfield and was born Dec. 12, 1680.

    Samuel Bigelow, fifth child and fourth son of John and Mary Warren Bigelow was born 28 Oct 1653 in Watertown, MA. On 3 June 1674 he married Mary Flagg, daughter of Thomas and Mary Flagg. Mary was born in Watertown 14 Jan 1658(more likely 14 Jun 1653, as her headstone says she was 67 years and 3 months at the time of her death 7 Sept 1720).

    Howe's Bigelow genealogy gives no death date for Samuel, stating that the will was probated 21, Feb 1731. Waltham town records state Samuel's death as 1 Feb 1732. Since Samuel's son Thomas lived in Waltham from 1720 onward, it is likely Samuel and wife spent their declining years in Thomas' home. Mary, wife of Samuel died 7 Sep 1720. Her death is recorded at both Watertown and Waltham. Their headstones are at Grove Hill Cemetery, Waltham, MA.

    Samuel Bigelow was an important man in Watertown. He was an innholder from 1702 to 1716, and represented the General Court from 1708 to 1710. He was also a carpenter, and in 1686 received from his father a gift-in-deed for 16 acres and a house.

    From 1687-1716 Samuel appears frequently in Watertown town records. A few entries follow:
