However, they look to be the only two Roof's from Adrian. Tough time frame, many deaths were NOT reported, even though there was a reporting requirement. Good luck in your research. I have no connections to this family, this lookup was done as a act of genealogical sharing. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

My third great grandmother, Charity W. MARCY (also spelled MARCEY) is buried at Oakwood Cemetery in Adrian. Charity was born about 1821 and died in 1870. Also buried at Lot 48, Block 20 is her son-in-law, John S. "Fatty" PECK (1833-1885). I can not place the other three people buried with them: John P. ROFF (also spelled ROOF) who was buried on 19 September 1880; Mary ROFF buried 19 December 1890; and Ina E. LAYTON buried 27 May 1893. Since I do not know Charity's maiden name I am wondering if John P. ROFF or ROOF could be her brother. The 1880 census shows that he was born about 1817 in New York, as was Charity. That census also shows that Mary ROFF or ROOF was born in Kentucky. I have no information on Ina E. LAYTON. Has anyone researched the ROOF/ROFF families of Lenawee County? Can anyone tell me if Charity MARCY is related to them? Thank you for any help. Sue Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

I've "rescued" a group of photographs belonging to the SEAMS - SMITH Family of Michigan.

Louisa and James had 7 children including, Earl Forrest; Purcelle E.; Leona L.; Nellie; Pauline; Clara L.; and Kenneth James SEAMS.

If you are a member of this family, or you know someone who might be, please contact me. Thanks, Shelley

I have been looking for a Raymond Robison and found him as the son of John Robison. It shows John was born in Indiana abt 1860. He was 40 and his wife Cora was 22 so I believe he may have been previously married. I am still looking for information on Raymond Robison. His daughter told me that the children were later separated and some were raised in an orphanage in Marcellus, MI. She also told me that the rest of the children ended up in the Chicago area. His brothers were Allen, Earl, and Floyd. His sisters were Edith and May. She also told me that she thinks Raymonds father and mother were buried in Three Rivers, MI.
