Would someone please do two look ups for me. 1. Name: name Elmer M. Patterson Date of birth: 1874 Date of death: after 1960 Place: Evergreen cemetery 2. Obituary for Donald C. Patterson Died March 1990 Lansing Ingham Co MI Please send to my address and not the list. Thanks Donald Patterson

I have recently come upon some info that indicates that that my gg-grandfather's sister, Sarah BRADFORD, m. 1835 in NY to a James or Joseph ROSENCRANS, may have lived and died in Ingham Co. Possibly in or around the Lansing area. A large number of her siblings (she had 12 altogether) and her parents moved from NY 1834-1836, and spread out over the counties of Jackson, Eaton and Calhoun. Is there anyone on the list with a connection? Also, is there anyone who would be willing to do a cemetery lookup for Sarah and Mr. Rosencrans (there are several possible alternate spellings)? Sarah was born: 11 Sep 1814. Her parents were William BRADFORD and Concurrence BONFOEY. Thanks for any help. Bill in Kansas.

Is there anyone on this connected or related to the LETTS family that settled in Clinton/Shiawassee/Genesee Counties?? Barbara Lewis _______________________________________________________ Site Design, Hosting, and E-Commerce at www.webpipe.net

>From the Ingham Co. Gen. Soc. Newsletter, Spring, 2000: "'The Ingham Telegraph' first began its existence in April, 1842. The owner and publisher was M. A. CHILDS. It was a neutral paper. The publication of the delinquent tax list meant much to a newspaper financially. The county treas- urers determined who would publish that list. James P. Packard was the treasurer of Ingham County. He was a democrat and refused to let Mr. CHILDS in on this source of revenue. After 18 months of precarious existance 'The Ingham Telegraph' ceased publication. At the election of 1844 George Matthews was elected county treasurer. He was a Whig in politics so a Whig paper known as 'The Ingham Herald' was started by J. H. CHILDS and H. P. STILLMAN. The following March 1845 the democratic legislature passed an act restoring to the auditor general the entire control of advertising. That killed 'The Ingham Herald'..." J. H. CHILDS was my g-g-grandfather. His wife was Hannah J. CONVERSE. The couple named one of their sons "Stillman CHILDS" after Mr. H. P. STILLMAN. Their dau., Sara E. CHILDS WEEKS was the mother of my paternal grandmother, Mabel Eva WEEKS BOLSTER. My questions are these: 1. Does anybody know what the "M. A." in M. A. CHILDS stands for? 2. I live in California. Where could I possibly read copies of these 2 extinct newpapers -- "The Ingham Telegraph," and "The Ingham Herald?" Best Regards, Sally BOLSTER HOLCOMBE <[email protected]>

I was wondering if there was anyone who would know where I might be able to inquire about naturalization records for my ggg grandfather. His name was Silas Woodland and he landed in New York on April 24, 1843. He met and married Mary McDermott and they moved to Michigan sometime before 1848 as their first child Betsey M. Woodland was born 5-12-1848 in Michigan. She later married Henry Barr. They had 4 other children, Charles M., (b. 1850, m. Flora Galloway), Eliza Jane (b. 12-12-1852, m. Rescome M. Harkness), Ella J. (b. 1855, d. 1883) and Maggie (b. 1856). They were settled in Ingham Township by the time of the 1850 census (if not by the time Betsey was born). As far as I know, all are buried at Felt Plains Cemetery. With the help of a friend, we have located a Silas Woodland in Somerset, England who was born in 1822, as was my Silas, and I'm hoping that Naturalization records will provide the proof I need that he is my ggg grandfather. I tried several years ago to obtain his death certificate, but was told it wasn't there (Ingham Co.). He died in 1887 according to his grave marking. He also served in the Civil war at the age of 41, but no records of this could be located either. Thank you in advance for any and all help, Christy

Hello, I was wondering if there was anyone on the list that can help me find some information on my GGG-Grandfather Lewis H. Danford. While trying to find a death certificate to identify his parents I ran into a snag. According to the State of Michigan he does not have a death cert on file. After checking with Wisconsin (Lewis was in a VA Home for a while) they don't have one either. Can someone check in Dansville for a tombstone or burial for Lewis or his wife Susan? Thanks / Rob Lowery 1. Lewis H.
