Family Early History[]

Warenne Family Ancestry[]

Almost all American Bigelows can trace their ancestry to early Plymouth Colony settler, John Bigelow (1617-1703) and his wife, Mary Warren (1624-1691). She is a direct descendant of William de Warenne (1055-1088), a faithful companion of William the Conqueror and one of the most powerful individuals in England after the historic Norman conquest.

See Warenne Family Ancestry for more info about their noble ancestry and its many connections to early English, French, Norman, and Danish royalty. (American Nobility).
