Thanks for the suggestion. I've contacted the Hotaling website with all my info but even he is unable to match up my John (b c 1815) Nathanial (b. c 1808) and Solomon (b c 1817), all in New York with any reasonable approximations of parents. Early on they were in Delaware County and then John and his wife Marilla (Hinson) moved to Candor/Candor Corners, Tioga County, New York where we find their whole family in 1840 and 1850. They moved from there to Tuscola County, Michigan about 1858 and bought land here. I put this information out there in hopes that someone else might recognize the family and have a clue. Thanks again for taking the time to make a suggestion. Much appreciated.
