I'm new to this list and would like to add my surnames to this mix in hopes of finding some new info. My names are Makeley (Makely), Zacheriah b. abt 1818 NY moved to MI abt 1860. Zacheriah's parents are William Makely and Christine Harvey. Zachariah married two or three times. First wife from NY was Sally Ann? The second wife was Emily and the possible third was Emaline. I say possible third because it's possible that Emily and Emaline are the same person. Around 1870 or a bit later, Zacheriah's brother Frederick Knapp Makely joins him in MI. Fred is married to a Sarah? Frederich born abt 1834 in NY. By 1880 census he has moved on to Clinton Co. MI. Then there is Slaughter, John J. married to Sarah Jane Robertson and family (most children born NY). John b. 1826, Sarah b. 1831 both in Yates Co. NY Sarah's parents are Robert Robertson and Sophia Yeckley. John's parents are Jonathan Slaughter and Mary Maria Crispell. I know that John and Sarah lived in Aurelius in Ingham Co. MI. Looking for any and all information on these two family names from MI end of line, have some info to share from NY end of line. Any one of these families?
