From the Glastonbury-Colchester (CT) land records we learn that on 22 May 1711 Thomas and Mary (Goodrich) Read sr of Sudbury, MA granted in a gift-in-deed "land given by our father John Goodrich," to friend and cousin Samuel Bigelow of Marlborough. Again, on 8 Feb 1724 Samuel Bigelow and wife Mary of Marlborough, MA grant land (presumably the same land) to "friend and cousin Nathaniel Read of Sudbury."

Samuel married (2) 4 Dec 1716, Mary Gleason, daughter of Joseph and Martha Gleason. She was born 6 Oct 1682. After Samuel's death, which appears to have been about 1734, she moved to Shrewsbury to live with one of their children, and died at Shrewsbury 1 May 1752.
