Can't seem to get into Message Board to post?? so will try this route RE: Dora Fisher Barber Honeysett?? she is buried in the Cressey Cemetery, Barry County, (Isadora, daughter of W. & L. P. Fisher, )believe this to be Warren and Louisa P.-- Dora, b. Feb. 23, 1870 d. Dec. 8, 1920. According to the obit of Grace Fisher, daughter of Lucinda & Byron, she (Dora) was a cousin of Grace's from Battle Creek, surname Barber, I think probably she was married to David Barber as in Phillip Barber's obit, (senior Phillip) one of Phillips sons was David from Cascade, which is Battle Creek area. I also have a copy of a letter to Mrs. Dora Barber, Richland, Michigan, May 8, 1900, from her cousin "Grace". Later Dora Fisher Barber married Ernest H. Honeysett, and was his first wife. Also Jennie Fisher, dau. of Bryron and Lucinda Fisher (they are also in Cressey Cemetary) married Charles Honeysett and he was brother to Ernest Honeysett. I hail from the Honeysett side .RE: ------Jodie Doster's books, the Barry Cty one shows 2 Barber listings, 26 Fisher listings, and 27 Slater listings and as she also published the ENTIRE Doster genealogy she has 348 listings for DOSTERS.. She wrote a Kalamazoo County Pioneer book also and it has 19 Fisher listings, 32 Barber listings, 1 Slater listing, and 61 Doster listings. When I say "listings", there are really MORE as the count represents first name listings and maybe are referenced on more than one page. Pat

One child, Helen, was raised by her father. The elder, Burdett James WILLSON was with his grandmother Amy on the 1920 census, back with father and stepmother on the 1930.

Claude A WILLSON and Jessie M BRIGGS had been married since 26 Dec 1905 and have at least one child, Burdett WILLSON born about 1914. The 1920 census has an interesting picture. Jessie WILSON is enumerated single, back living with her father Burdette Briggs. There is a WILSON grandchild to Burdette, little Helen born about 1919. Claude now is rooming at widow Pearl B. STANTON's place, I think Hastings City. The enumerator marked him as widowed. (Pssst - on the 1930 census Claude and Pearl are married, and she's buried with him at Yankee Springs Cemetery) Little Burdett WILSON is living with grandparents James and Amy TURNER YOUNG. (Amy TURNER married 1st Claude's father Ezra WILLSON, remarried after his death) Burdett will be back with his father and stepmother on the 1930 census. I do have more info than shown. What became of Jessie BRIGGS WILLSON and little Helen WILSON? What was widow Pearl STANTON's surname, whose widow was she?

That would be Asher TURNER and wife Sarah MILLIKEN, and after his wife's death, Charles, Asher's father. I don't know for sure what other Turners showed up. Your Ann would have been born 1860 or earlier, but perhaps she is part of that bunch. Asher's daughter Amy married into my WILLSON line. By the birth places and years of the 4 children I know of, they were in MN 1855 through 1864. I think I remember that Turners were mostly buried at Yankee Springs Cemetery http://www.interment.net If it's the right bunch of Turners it looks like they went together to NY where he died and she returned, next-county over afterward, or maybe she didn't go at all, who knows. She may be findable on 1900 census living with someone at Calhoun County, maybe his kids or some of hers? Maybe this little bit of info can help you dig out your folks. That's all I can think of right now, except maybe to look for any of them on the MI state 1894 census, see if any are around? You can find a link to that at U MI on rootsweb's Barry County page.
