I am sure there is a connection but it probably connects back a bit earlier. I, too, have a Michigan connection with the Stow(e) family as my great, great grandfather came here (I now live in Michigan) from Ohio after the Civil War. It appears that Michigan was one of the migration trails so I shouldn't have been surprised. Some of his children were already here when he came in 1873. Good luck in your efforts....if you ever find anything on Seth Stowe...Simeon's brother, please let me know. Mary
