James Pierce is his older brother, about 25 in the 1850 census, born either in Pennsylvania or New York (the family lived right on the border and it is unclear where some of the children were born). He is single and supposedly a merchant at this time although he was also a miner (I note that Jackson county had a working mine around this time) and a farmer. Thanks for your help! Santa

If you have not sent in your registration for the Eaton County Genealogical Society Seminar on 17 April 2004. Fawne was with us last year and we had many requests to bring her back so that she could share some more of her wonderful information and insight with us. I would ask that you forward this to your friends that might be interested. Seating will be limited so don't miss out. The deadline has been extended until April 10th. After that date you should check for availability. Go to our website at <http://www.rootsweb.com/~miecgs/workshop2004.htm> for further information. This year's annual workshop is sure to be a full day of important information. Both primary records and online sources will be discussed at length. Prepare yourself now for a summer of research by arming yourself with the most up-to-date information. CROWN LAND RECORDS For those who attended last year's workshop and heard Fawne speak on Land Registry Office records you will know the importance of understanding land records. This year Fawne will tell us all about crown land records - those lands that brought immigrants to a new world in search of free government land! For those who did not attend last year but have those ancestors that you cannot find before they come to Michigan, they may well have spent time in Ontario working for a grant of crown land to no avail before coming here. Many thousands of early settlers in the province inhabited crown lands through renting, leasing, squatting, government grants and sales. However, hundreds and even thousands of these early settlers never received the actual patent to the land from the government. Fortunately, records of the initial request for land, or attempts to settle crown land were still generated. In some instances, these records represent the only evidence of a settler's existence in the province before they died or moved on to other areas of Canada or the US. This discussion will provide researchers with a sound understanding of the land granting process, the availability of a variety of crown land records and resources. This is an important source of records for anyone doing Ontario research. USING MAPS IN FAMILY HISTORY RESEARCH Maps are critical research tools for family history research. Maps both old and new are important resources to help researchers track down facts about their families; offer the names of individual landowners or residents; show the location of a home on a specific lot; illustrate the relationship of settlers to local institutions; reveal changing place names and; even show changes in the boundaries of nations, provinces, counties, administrative areas (important to early record keeping). An understanding of geographic locations and the relationships illustrated with maps will help family historians locate potential sources of records about their families. This lecture will both explain and visually illustrate the importance of maps for family history research. By attending this year's workshop you will also have an opportunity to see copies of rare Ontario maps. ONLINE SOURCES FOR FAMILY HISTORY RESEARCH Are you trying to do your research online? This session will provide an overview of helpful online resources for researching your family history. Particular attention is given to finding primary sources online and information for those searching in the ancestral homelands of England, Ireland, Scotland and Europe. What tools are there to help you? What obstacles will you encounter? What pitfalls should you watch for? Discover how to connect your primary research with online resources and information. Due to the popularity of this lecture, it has been expanded beyond the 1 hour allotted during the workshop which means participants will receive even more valuable information than originally planned. It also means the schedule for the day could run a little bit over. Don't miss this important information to help you search online effectively! FAMILY HISTORY RESEARCH IN THE 21ST CENTURY Today we stand as participants and witnesses to the infant years of a new century and a new millennium. In the same way that technology has revolutionized the way we live, the hobby (or should we say "obsession") of family history is also in the throws of revolutionary change. But what does this mean to the way in which we conduct our research? More importantly, what will be the legacy of modern family historians for future generations? This session is designed to help researchers identify and balance the information and resources available both online and in traditional institutions in order to make the most of them and ensure that our family history research is a lasting legacy for future generations

Surnames: Hayden, Gleason, Sherwood, Pulyer Classification: Obituary Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/BGB.2ACI/462 Message Board Post: The Lincoln Co. Leader, Toledo, OR February 21, 1935 William B. Hayden Buried on Tuesday Farmed Most Of Life. Came From Nebraska to Oregon in 1900 William Bramwell Hayden was born at Springport, Jackson County, Michigan, April 4, 1850 and died Sunday Morning, February 17, 1935, at his home in Toledo, Oregon, aged 84 years, 10 months and 13 days. When a young man he went to Illinois where on October 31, 1874, he was united in marriage with Miss Annie Pulyer. Tothis union six children were born, five of whom are still living: Mrs. N. H. Sherwood of Otter Rock, Mrs. C. H. Gleason, Geneva, Ohio, Kenneth H. of Saginaw, Michigan and Max B. and Fern N. of this city. In 1884 the family moved to Fairfield, Nebraska, where they remained until 1900, when they moved to Oregon, spending five years near Portland, and coming to Toledo in october 1905, and where he resided until his death. His wife passed away about ten years ago, soon after they had celebrated their golden wedding anniversary. Mr. Hayden followed farming most of his life, with the exception of a few years in the livery business in Nebraska. About fifteen years ago, he retired from active labor. Mr. Hayden was a staunch republican and had very little faith in latterday theories of political leaders. He met his obligations as they became due and had a good word for all. Funeral services were held at the Bateman Undertaking parlors at 9:00 p.m. Tuesday, the 19th, with Rev. R. A. Feenstra officiating. Interment was in the Newport cemetery immediately thereafter. Note: "At Rest in Lincoln County" by Evelyn Parry page 60 lists the following: Hayden, William B. 1850-1935 Hayden, Annie M. 1855-1925 No other Hayden enteries are listed in the book when printed in 1979. Note: I'm not a member of the family and have no further information than appears here.
