It's been awhile, but I remember some folks were interested in the Lushbaugh families in Berrien County. Just found these on the 1840 census (Bertrand Twp, Berrien Co, Michigan): Henry Lushbaugh (1-2-0-0-0-0-1 and 1-0-2-0-0-1-0) John Lushbaugh (0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-1 and 0-0-0-0-1-0-0-0-1) Henry and John were listed on consecutive rows of the census form (source: Ancestry on-line census images). PS - The strings of numbers indicate how many free white males and females of particular age-ranges were in the household, include the named head of the house. For example, the 1-2-0-0-0-1 above means ... one male, under the age of 5; two males, from 5 to under 10 years old; no males, from 10 to under 15 years old; no males, from 15 to under 20 years old; no males, from 20 to under 30 years old; no males, from 30 to under 40 years old; one male, from 40 to under 50 years old (head of the house). These age-range categories can continue up to ... # of males/females, from 90 to under 100 years old; and # of males/females, from 100 years old and upwards. Steve Germinder (researching Germinder/Geminder, Swem, Jackson, Lee)
List - I am interested in obtaining copies of several deeds (1870-1895?) at the Register of Deeds Office in St. Joseph, MI. I've been in contact with their office, but they have advised me it could take three to six months (maybe longer?). Do you know of individuals in the area who may be available to help with my search? Naturally, I expect to reimburse associated costs and compensate a little extra for their time. Thank you.

CATHY: Our person does not show in the indexes we have looked at, but we know he was in prison so we are trying to fine the census on micro film that covers the Jackson prison.

Hello Robin If it is listed it would be included in City of Jackson at that time. The 1850 census does not show Summit or Blackman which comprises the the bulk of the city of Jackson. I visited the original site today, here is the Historical plaque at the site: First State Prison This was the original site of Michigan's first state prison approved by the legislature in 1838. A temporary wooden prison, enclosed by a fence of tamarack Poles, was built on sixty acres donated for that purpose here. In 1839 the first 35 prisoners were received. A permanent prison was built three years later. Beginning in the 1880's under warden H.F. Hatch a greater emphasis was placed on the education and rehabilitation of prisoners. After 1934 the inmates were housed in the new prison north of Jackson. Michigan Historical Commission Registered Site No 178 Walter A Treichel
http://w3.qtm.net/bcgensoc/BC%20Cemitary%20list%20_.htm the berrien co gen society has a new listing of what they believe to be all the cemeteries in the county in case anybody is interested. (at least I think it is a new listing)! gina
Sorry, I missed the beginning of this discussion. Are you looking for a specific individual there or just general information? I have access to the census images on Ancestry.com. They are indexed up to 1850 and I can look them up, or if you know where to find them in later years, I can look at the census for you. Cathy Search4Family@aol.com PS - Anyone else ??
Jackson State Prison was Down town Jackson Mi I don't remember the year but the new prison was built after some inmate were burn up in the old prison
Hello Robin If it is listed it would be included in Jackson at that time. The 1850 census does not show Summit or Blackman which comprises the the bulk of the city of Jackson. Walter A Treichel
Hello Robin I Have found the following publication The Early History Settlement and Growth of Jackson by Lula A Reed (Supervisor Elementary Schools) published in 1929. "Location of the State Prison. Both Detroit and Napoleon wanted the prison located there, but it was finally located in Jackson because the stone here was first class, plentiful, and easy to quarry and dress. Besides this twenty acres of suitable land were donated by a citizen and the location was central and would accommodate the state in the transportation of prisoners. The first building was constructed of oak plank. At first, guards were stationed outside the building over small gangs of prisoners while they were at work outside. Their first work was to cut tamarack logs, sixteen feet long, for a stockade. They were set on end in a four-foot trench, closely fitted together, and planks pinned to each log to hold them stiff and fast. This stockade was for years called "The Tamaracks," and this name for the prison is still in use." There is no mention of a date but Jacksonburgh was made County Seat in 1833. The name of the Village was changed to Jackson in 1835. There is no mention of townships within this booklet. Will keep looking for more Walter A Treichel
Hello Robin The original prison was on the corner Cooper St and North St and serves as the National Guard Armory today. The original walls still stand as do some of the Buildings. I will research its construction date and let you know. The Southern Michigan State Prison was a replacement and built north of Jackson on Cooper Rd which is the same street/road located at 4000 Cooper Rd also M106 in the beginning there were several prison farms to enable them to supply their own food. I do not presently know when Blackman township was organized but will find out.

Hell all. Jackson State Prison was build about 1950 if I remember correctly.
WALTER: I took a look at the census film for Jackson county 1850 and 1860 tonight at our local FHC, 1850 no Blackman Twp. and no prison. 1860 no prison in Blackman Twp. Any ideas??

Hello again: I have a new question about Jackson prison. Could someone tell us what county and what township Jackson prison was in in about 1860???? Robin
HELLO LIST: We would like to thank everyone that reply to our question: " What is the closest prison to Berrien County, and where are the records kept" You were right the records are in the state archives in Lansing. And they do have at least part of the records. We found what we were looking for and much more. Beware went you go digging. Again thank you Robin
