He married Anna Andrews.[3] They had six children together: Nancy Bigelow (born 1765, married Abraham Lincoln of
Worcester),
Timothy Bigelow (1767-1821; married Lucy Prescott, niece of
William Prescott), Andrew Bigelow (born 1769; died unmarried), Rufus Bigelow (born 1772; died unmarried), Lucy Bigelow (born 1774; married Luther Lawrence), and Clara Bigelow (born 1781; married Tyler Bigelow).[3][4] A grandson,
George Tyler Bigelow, served on the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court.[5]
This painting of Col. Timothy Bigelow's house was discovered on a panel board above the fireplace in the parlor of the Theophilus Wheeler house when the paint was scraped off. It must have been depicted before the close of the Revolution as determined by the street-scape of the time.
