The family was living in Arcadia, MI during the 1880 census including Joshua age 58 b. in New Brunswick and his wife Margaret age 57 also born in New Brunswick. Four children were living with them at the time including, Ensign age 28 b. in WI, Daniel age 21, Fred age 14, and Bernice age 12, the youngest three all born in MI. I also find Lilly M. MALLISON age 14 b. in WI the daughter of Lafayette & Josephene MALLISON included in the 1880 census living in Onekama, MI. Lafayette is age 43 b. in NY and his wife Josephene age 35 b. in MI. In addition to Lilly another daughter Ida G. age 11 b. in MI is also living with the family in 1880. I also find evidence of Howard Douglas BRADFORD married to Mary Arilla CHAPIN on 5 April 1876 at Manistee, MI. Howard was 22 years old at that time and Mary was just 17 years of age. Howard's place of birth was recorded as WI. The two were living in Arcadia, MI during the 1880 census with Mary's name noted as "Orilla" BRADFORD age 22 b. in WI. The couple had a son Ray BRADFORD age 2 b. in MI. Howard listed his father as born in New Brunswick suggesting that he was also connected to the Joshua BRADFORD Family, as either a son or nephew possibly. I'm hoping to locate someone from this family so that these wonderful old family photographs can be returned to their rightful place with family. If you are a member of this family or know someone who might be, please contact me. Thanks, Shelley
