MacKelcan, died 1956, and was buried in Barryville cemetary. Obituary information, where he lived, what he did, any friends or relatives left behind. I believe he was my Great-Grandfather, who disappeared sometime around 1913 or 14 and was presumed dead. Any information would be greatly appreciated and would solve an ancient family mystery! Legal name was George Francis Auber MacKelcan. Thanks! Cosette

Ora 10 and Sheridan 5 complete that household at Thornapple. The younger two attend school. Put to work at 12 doesn't sound too happy a tradition for a man who'll grow up and raise a family. Who knows. There is another Frank KENYON age 17 living with and farming for the David TOWNSEND family at Hastings. It looks like Dennison has an elder brother Clark, 54, same KENION spelling, also at Thornapple. Both men are b. NY, both of their parents b. RI. There a good 6-8 housholds, either spelling, in Barry County that year. I didn't spot yours anywhere at all on the 1894 Barry Co. MI state census at http://www.usgennet.org/usa/mi/state/orphan/barry/barry1894_census_h_l.html One other tidbit that may be useful some time is that DENISON is a NY-ish surname that goes back to a spelling variously TEUNISEN and variations up into the 1700s, I think is when it began being spelled with a D. You'll find given names Denis, Denys, Teunis, likewise, up around Dutch Reformed country along the Hudson.

I forgot to mention that Ezra WILLSON and Anna had an eldest daughter, Anna H whose married name on the 1880 census was MILLER. She and MILLER children Ernist and Alma were living with Ezra. I've no idea what became of them, either. Yet. Also that there was no Irving O GOODENOUGH on the 1880 MI census index so who knows where he was unless unborn and married awfully young. More Trivia from the 1800 census. The BRONSON clan in Barry County have NY roots, may have come in 3? waves beginning 30ish years earlier, the most recent group came via a stopover in OH. May or may not be related, probably are. Surnames they married include WHEATON and HALE.

George W farmed at Carlton, he was 33, born NY as were his parents. Wife Bell, 31 NY. Children Elizabeth 11 and Harry 7 were b. NY; Minnie was 3, b. MI. Farm laborer Hiram DURKEE 30 NY lived in their home. Neighboring households were BLOOD and BARNUM, both also NY roots. Over at Hastings is Charles GOODELL, at 32 one year younger than George. No guess at relationship, enumerator says he was b. MI (thus 1848ish), both parents b. NY though. His wife Anna 32 b. England; children Arthur 5, Willard 4, Maud 3. Outside Barry County are a couple of oldies who have indeed been in MI a good while. At Ecorse, Wayne County is Jonas 84, b. NY of CT father, NY mother. Wife Angelique 83 b. MI (wow, MI 1797?) of Canadian father, MI mother. Son Alexander is 33, MI-born. I'm not sure this makes sense but in the house are relatives Julia VALLAD, shown as mother-in-law, but b. Canada, so I think it's maybe Alexander's MIL or another offspring's. Someone's niece Jane STODDARD is 38, cousin Frank STODDARD is 14. Really mixed birthplaces and parents' bp. At Harrisville in Alcona county is another, Alfred GOODELL 77, b. NY of MA parents - with a 30 year old wife Mary b. NY and son Andrew J, 5, b. MI. There are varied spellings also from NY like GOODALE, GOODALL, among the oldies. I'm glad it's not me trying to sort out GOODALL, I've problems enough with my own. Heh.

The BOWERMAN clan seem to have NY roots, probably came to MI close to the time of that burial because of recruitment for pioneers by land speculators. Bonds formed during those moves may have run deep for generations. Ezra WILLSON and his parents were b. VT. There is a HUBBARD, a few BAKER, and of course the BOWERMAN clan. I think the old guy spelled BOARDMAN may have been phonetically boreman, likely BOWERMAN. Maybe. Notice that "Silias BOARDMAN" d. 1822 at age 74 -- that would sure put his clan in early Barry Co. MI. I wonder if the transcriber found the stone hard to read. The next 1-2 generations of WILLSON are at Yankee Springs cemetery. That's all I've found that may help place your GOODELL.

I am researching the Daniel C. CROSS family. Daniel appears in the 1840 census in Barry County. He was born about 1789, was married to Lydia WASHBURN and had at least one son James and a daughter, Jannette who married Nathan LARKIN.
