Alonzo McM I didn't find at all in MI, nor anywhere in the US. Samuel's William is in Carlton living and farming with Ruben PROUTY and Ruben's older widowed sister Cathrine BURROUGHS, and Cathrine's daughter Elva E, 17. Son Horace is nearby living with and farm labor for a German immigrant Fred HECHT family. They have a daughter Sophiah HECHT, 20. (daughters -- who knows.) There was no HERRING surname in Barry County. The only "Etta" around his age that "jumped out at me" from sorting MI was an Alfaretta, 18, at Vermontville in Eaton County. Her father was Abram 48, born MI of NY parents, mother Drucilla 40 of NY with NY parents. Samuel seems gone at 1880, and I don't recognize Mary around, either. Know what? Barry County has the best darn bunch of cemetery volunteer scouts I've ever run into anywhere. I believe you can find *anyone* who was ever planted there if you go to http://www.interment.net I think it was at rootsweb.com that I found the Barry County MI resource pages, it's terrific! Go there. It includes access to a MI 1894 Barry County state census. Widowed Clarissa's still at Hastings, a pensioner - railroad, I wonder? With her still are son Eugene and Daughter Effie May. Another widow McMURRY at Hastings is from MD, she's Henrietta, 39, has a daughter Nellie 6 whose father was b. MI. She has older FEIGHNER sons, printer Leonard, 18 and schoolboy Loyd, 12; both born OH as was their father. 'Way lots of BARNUM (and a BARNUN) households, some of the older men don't know where their parents were born, or whoever answered the enumerator didn't know. That's all folks, I know nothing more. I'll bet the cemeteries will reveal some more. They surely did for my WILLSON bunch from Yankee Springs and in Middleville.
