Genesee County MI Archives Biographies.....Jordan, Stephen 1829 - ************************************************ Copyright. All rights reserved. http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/copyright.htm http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/mi/mifiles.htm ************************************************ File contributed for use in USGenWeb Archives by: Joy Fisher sdgenweb@yahoo.com December 23, 2007, 11:01 pm Author: Chapman Bros. (1892) STEPHEN JORDAN. Few men in Atlas Township, Genesee County, are more thoroughly representative of the best class of our Michigan citizens than Mr. Jordan, whose excellent pioneer work and prominence in all matters of public interest have made him known not only within the township but throughout the county. He is a native of Surrey County, England, and was born February 24, 1829. His mother, whose maiden name was Ann Brooker, died in her native land and in 1837 our subject came with his father, John Jordan, and other members of the family to America. Their first home in this country was in Orleans County, N. Y., and two years later the entire family came to Genesee County, Mich., where the father has since died. The subject of this biographical sketch had few educational advantages in his youth, but he eagerly embraced all opportunities which were offered him and has improved himself by a persistent and thorough course of reading, so that he ranks among the intelligent, progressive men of this section of the State. For some nine years he made his home with Mr. Charles Bates, of Grand Blanc Township, and in 1852 he went to California, where he spent some four years in the gold mines and returned in 1856. His journey to California was taken by way of New York City and steamer to Nicaraugua, and thence up the Pacific coast to San Francisco, but in returning he came by the Panama route. He was successful in his mining operations, so that he cleared about $1,000 a year. It was in the spring of 1857 that Mr. Jordan made his home where he now lives, his first purchase here being one hundred and fifty acres of partially cleared land, and to it he has added by purchase until he now has three hundred and twenty acres, and upon it he has placed all modern improvements, first-class barns and a beautiful home. Here he raises fine Merino sheep. Mr. Jordan was married, February 24, 1857, to Family Perry, a native of this county and daughter of Simeon M. and Sarah (Cartwright) Perry. This family had been pioneers of Grand Blanc Township and were well known in the community. The six children who have come to Mr. and Mrs. Jordan are: Mary, deceased; Frank P., Jennie, Louise, Charles and Belle. Louise is now the wife of William A. Gale and Belle is a teacher in the public schools. The fine property which has now been acquired by Mr. Jordan and his estimable wife has been gained through their own enterprise, energy and prudence, and they richly deserve their prosperity. The principles of the Democratic party are those which Mr. Jordan considers most conducive to the progress of the country and he is a member of the Farmers' Alliance. His property is really a model farm and his beautiful home, with its admirable surroundings, constitutes one of the most desirable rural homes in Genesee County. His courteous, affable nature and his genial hospitality give him a deserved popularity, and he and his family stand high in the social circles of the county.

(1892) ULYSSES D. BRISTOL, a senior member of the firm of U. D. Bristol & Son at Lapeer, was born in Perry Township, Wyoming County, N. Y., April 5, 1835. He is a son of John and Hannah (Eldridge) Bristol, both natives of New York and of American origin as far back as he knows the history of the family. The father was a blacksmith and our subject had but scant opportunities to secure an education. At the age of fifteen the lad began to learn the blacksmith's trade, and worked at it in his father's shop for about a year, when he concluded that he was not muscular enough for this kind of work and gave it up. In 1853 when he was about eighteen years old the young man came to Michigan making his home with his uncle, N. B. Eldridge, who was then Postmaster, and young Bristol obtained a clerkship in the postoffice under his uncle with whom he staid for some two years. After this he clerked in a dry-goods store at Almont for a short time and then went to Canada and engaged to work for a brother-in-law, William B. Johnson, in a lumberyard. He returned to Michigan in 1859 to be married to Miss Mary L. Ackley of Lapeer, and their wedding took place upon July 6. This lady is a daughter of Edward and Sarah Ackley and was born at Camden, N. J., October 6, 1836. Mr. Bristol took his wife to Canada and there remained until failing health suggested to him a return to Michigan which he effected in 1860 and while frail in health was appointed both Postmaster and Deputy-Sheriff, which latter office he held for about six years and was then elected Sheriff for one term. After this he was elected as Registrar of Deeds and held this office for two terms from 1864 to 1866. He had started in the drug business after this and was in partnership with George H. Cannon, and upon the death of his partner in October, 1874, our subject took his son, Fred E. Bristol, into the firm. Mr. Bristol is proud to say that he cast his first vote for Abraham Lincoln in 1864 and he has been a consistent Republican from that day to this. He has been a candidate for Mayor and was defeated by a very close vote but has served as Constable, Marshal and Collector, besides Deputy United States Marshal, Deputy Internal Revenue Collector and Deputy Provost Marshal. His two children are the son of whom we have spoken, Fred E., who was born in Canada in April 20, 1857, and having received a good education was received as his father's partner at the age of seventeen and was married in 1886 to Miss Emma Colerick of Almont, Mich., and Carrie who was born in Lapeer August 29, 1862 and still makes her home with her father.

(1892) JAMES B. LANE, of the firm of Lane Bros., bakers, and jobbers in confectionery and ice-cream, is an active young business man of Flint and has many friends here whom he has won by his upright life and genial disposition. He was born in Flint, September 10, 1862, and is the son of John Lane, a native of Queens County, Ireland. Grandfather John Lane, also a native of Queens County, was engaged in business as a hotel keeper, and at an early day came to America, where in Flint, this State, he purchased a farm some time in the '50s. This estate he improved with a substantial set of farm buildings and spent many industrious, happy years there. After retiring from active farm duties, he came to Flint, and from there went to Lewistown, N. Y., where he passed from earth. Early in life John Lane, Jr., came to Michigan and locating on a farm in Flint Township, there resided until after his wife's death in 1873. He then came to this city, where he died in July, 1891. He was a devoted Catholic in religion. His wife, who was known in maidenhood as Ellen Mackin, was born in Flint, and was the daughter of John Mackin, who came from his native country, Ireland, to New York. From there he proceeded West to Michigan and was an early settler in Genesee County. By the exercise of industry and economy he accumulated a competency and became the owner of a large farm in Flint Township, where his life came to a close. Our subject is the second of five children, the others being—John A., partner with James B. in the bakery; David W., who died in 1885; Fred D., manager of the electric light works in this city; and Mary E., who married Ray Jones, the manager of the Western Union Telegraph, in Flint; James B., the subject of this notice, was reared in the city of Flint and when fourteen years of age attended St. Michael's School, and later was a student in the High School. He learned the printer's trade while working for Mr. Aldrich on the Globe, remaining in that capacity for three years. Next he engaged as clerk for W. T. Clark & Son, and after three years in their employ, he was with Kendrick & Foote in the bakery business for another three years, and remained with their successors Spillane Bros., seven years. Before entering the business for himself he therefore had an experience extending over ten years which made him thoroughly familiar with the business. In 1887 Mr. Lane bought out Mrs. Ewings' bakery in Flint, and with Ed French as partner conducted the business successfully about two years. Then his brother J. A., purchased the partner's interest and the firm of Lane Bros., has since continued active representatives of the business element of Flint. The brothers have enlarged the business, until they now employ two bakers and give steady work to eight employes. Their bakery is the largest in the city, and they also engage in jobbing ice-cream and confectionery, in which lines they do a fine business and find constant use for two delivery wagons. Mr. Lane is a member of the Catholic Church, and in his political preference is a Republican. His pleasant home at No. 422 Margaret Street is presided over by an amiable lady, whose maiden name was May E. Doran. Mrs. Lane was born in Flint, where in early womanhood she was united in marriage with Mr. Lane September 23, 1890. Socially Mr. Lane belongs to the Ancient Order of Hibernians and the Knights of the Maccabees.

(1892) BENJAMIN D. TODD, whose fine farm is situated on section 11, Genesee Township, Genesee County, was born in Wayne County, N. Y., March 23, 1835. His father, Benjamin Todd, a native of New York, was born near Watertown, and there grew to manhood and married Sallie Edwards, a native of Connecticut. They first located on a farm and came to Michigan in 1845, locating in Washtenaw County, making their home on a farm near Whitmore Lake. Having remained there some eight years they removed in i852 to where our subject now resides, only five acres of which was then partly improved, and upon it there was no building except a small log house 18x24 feet. Having cleared away the trees from this property they put it under cultivation and here the father died at the age of seventy-five years, while the mother survived to reach the age of eighty-three years. The grandfather on the father's side was James Todd who was born in the North of Ireland and was a sea-faring man and took part in the Revolutionary War. He lived to be over eighty years old and died near Watertown, N. Y. The maternal grandfather, Handford Edwards, was a native of England, who came to America at an early day and settled in Connecticut. He to lived to reach the age of four-score years and died in Connecticut, so that on both sides our subject has a record of longevity which he has good reason to hope may be continued in himself and in his family. The father and mother of our subject had in their household five sons and three daughters, and live of these are now living. Our subject is the fourth son and seventh child and was ten years old when he came to Michigan, having gained up to that time his education in the public schools. He remained with his father until the death of that parent, and was married in October, 1858, to Nancy Barker, daughter of Lucien Barker. She is a native of Michigan, being born near Ann Arbor in Washtenaw County, March 19, 1838. Immediately after marriage Mr. Todd located where he now resides and went hard to work to clear up the farm and put it in condition for tillage. In this he has been very successful as it is now one of the most productive and richly cultivated estates in the county. Two children only have been granted to this worthy couple, namely: Elsie, who is now the wife of W. F. Clapp and resides in Mt. Rose, Mich., and Kirkland, who resides at home with his parents. Mr. and Mrs. Clapp have two children, a daughter and a son, Earl and Edith. Our subject has a farm of fifty-three acres, all of which is cultivated by himself, and here he carries on a general farming business. The political views which command his adherence and endorsement are those which will be found in the declarations and platform of the Republican party, and although he is not an office-seeker he is really interested in the success of his party and is a truly patriotic citizen.

(1892) THOMAS H. NESBITT. The owner of the farm that is located on section 23, Flint Township, Genesee County, was born in Salem, Washington County, N. Y., August 27, 1824. When but a year old his parents removed to Brutus, Cayuga County, the same State, and he there grew to manhood, spending the first thirty years of his life in that vicinity. He was reared on a farm and early became familiar with the duties incident to farm life. His father was the proprietor of a sawmill and our subject was also engaged in the sawmill business in connection with farming. On reaching his majority Mr. Nesbitt rented his father's mill and carried it on for a time. In the spring of 1854 he sold out his interest in the business and removed to Genesee County, this State, purchasing the farm where he now lives. His interests from the date above mentioned have been wholly with this section of the county and he has devoted himself to agricultural pursuits, including general farming and stock-raising. He is the owner of one hundred and forty acres, which he has improved quite extensively. Since coming here he has built a number of good buildings upon his place. He has a pleasant and attractive home and capacious and adequate barns and outhouses. In August, 1889, his buildings with the exception of his house were destroyed by fire, and he sustained thereby a serious loss. He has since replaced them, and as is usually the case, has improved greatly upon his former ownings in this respect. Mr. Nesbitt was married in Skaneateles, N. Y., June 3, 1847, his wife being previous to her marriage Miss Aurora Hoag, who was born in White Creek, Washington County, N. Y., August 4,1823. They have been the parents of the following children: James H., Hattie, Frank P., Martin V., Charlie T., Alice, Eugene A., and Carrie J. James H. died in Flint Township, October 19, 1884. He was married to Miss Augusta Hicks, who survives him; Hattie died at the age of twenty-nine years; she had always been an invalid; Martin died in infancy; Frank married Elizabeth Ball; Charles married Catherine Way; Alice is the wife of Louis Hiller; Eugene married Miss M. Smith; Carrie is the wife of John F. Schram. Mr. Nesbitt has held the office of Township Clerk for several terms. In 1876 he was elected Supervisor of Flint Township and served for six years. He has ever taken an active part in local political affairs, having the real good of the locality at heart. He and his wife are members of the Methodist Episcopal Church, in which he has been Steward and Trustee: he has also been Superintendent of the Sunday-school. He is a strong temperance advocate and a Prohibitionist, although his sympathies in a political way are with the Democratic party. He bears the reputation throughout the county of being a thoroughly straightforward, reliable man and a genial, whole-souled fellow, to whom one will never appeal in vain in time of need.

(1892) HUGH McCOLL. Among the venerable and representative octogenarian citizens of Genesee County, Mich., whose names find a place in this volume, we present the gentleman whose name is above. He is of sturdy Scottish ancestry and the trend of his thought and principles shows the power of his nationality. He is a prominent resident of Grand Blanc and is a native of Montgomery County, N. Y., having been born on the Mohawk River, his natal day being December 26, 1810. He is a son of Alexander and Hannah (Christler) McColl. His father emigrated to America with our subject's grandfather, when a boy, before the close of the last century—1783— locating in New York State, where the grandfather died. Our subject's mother was a native of New York State, where he was reared to manhood. When fourteen years of age he began the harness-maker's trade and at sixteen years of age he began to learn the shoemaker's trade, and for the greater portion of his life he has been engaged in these lines both in this State and New York. He first married Mary Blue, who bore him eleven children of whom the following survive: Alexander, John G., Arthur C, and Mary E., now the wife of George Gundry. On the death of Mrs. Mary McColl he married Mrs. Sophia Wilber, widow of Elias Wilber, a native of Monroe County, N. Y., who was born August 31, 1816, and was reared in her native place, being a daughter of Daniel and Margaret (Campbell) Gustin; the former being a native of Connecticut and the latter of Scotland. In 1868 our subject came to Genesee County and located on a farm in Mundy Township, where he lived for four years and then moved to the village of Grand Blanc. He there engaged in the harness-making business until 1885, when he retired. Mr. McColl is a self-made man and has accumulated his present handsome competency by his own efforts. He now enjoys the pleasant assurance that he is secure in his advanced years against want. Mr. McColl is a Republican in his political affiliations. He has served as Justice of the Peace, also Treasurer of Grand Blanc Township, filling these prominent positions with credit to himself as well as to the satisfaction of his constituents. Mrs. McColl is a member of the Congregational Church and is also one of the enthusiastic workers in the Woman's Christian Temperance Union. She is a lady who is thoroughly progressive and delights in good works. Our subject and his wife in their pleasant home enjoy the fruits of a life spent in usefulness and well-doing. They are highly esteemed members of society and it is with pleasure we include their names among those who have helped to make Genesee County notable as an agricultural region.
