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.
