It list only the heads of households and males over twenty one. It list George (Alexanders brother) Jefferson (Alexanders brother) Melissa (Jeffersons wife ??? why listed as head of household??) William W. (Alexanders father) This would place William moving the family and some adult children to Michigan sometime late 1844 to early 1845 based on this info and other birth place info. You can find a copy of the complete census at State of Michigan Archives 717 West Allegan St. Lansing, MI 48918 517-373-1408 Have you found the 1860 for St Clair yet? I'm quite sure that Alexander had already moved to Edenville by that time. I still owe you info on the lumberjack camps. Marc
