Dear Cousins and fellow researchers, I continue my quest to link my ancestor Ruby Ann VANDECAR (married names ELSON and LOTT) of Ionia County with other Vandecars. I now know she and Nelson Vandecar (see below) were married to their first spouses in Brantford, Ontario on the same date, February 8, 1846, by the same Wesleyan minister. Ancestry.com has a subscription data-base called "Gene Pool" - which was purchased by Ancestry.com from a University medical/genealogy project. Listed are three children of Nelson VANDECAR and Elenor COPE: Jane VANDECAR born 1850 Blenheim, Oxford, Ontario - died 1860 Sarah VANDECAR born 1849 Blenheim, Oxford, Ontario; married 12 August 1869 in Lawrence, Van Buren County, MI to Royce Kelly. William Henry VANDECAR born 1851 Blenheim, Oxford, Ontario; married 12 April 1880 in Columbia, Van Buren County, MI to Mary Hudson. Al Dawson, Berea, Ohio - MA, History, UNC-Chapel Hill, 1973.
