What a great idea to do this roll call! I'm researching my Croad family who came to Mecosta co. around 1895 from the Pontypridd area of Wales. If anyone has come across this surname in Mecosta records or is connected with this family (they were the only Croads in Michigan) I'd love to exchange info. Fred Rendle Croad and his wife Mary Stokes came to the area with their ten children: Frank, John, Florence, Anna, George, Daisy, Bertha, Charles, Bessie, and William. Associated surnames include: Allen, Porter, Betser, Tennis, Barnard, Winger, Keith, Cuson, Burns, Moomey and Taylor. The family lived in Millbrook, although my great-grandmother Daisy Croad supposedly went to school in Lakeview, Montcalm co. (don't really know what that's about...). Thanks! Leah
Hi Leah, That is another surname that I have never run across in Mecosta Co. Sorry.. I can explain the Grandmother going to school in Montcalm Co., though. They obviously lived along the edge of the county next to Montcalm Co. and she probably went to the closest school which was in Montcalm Co. Many people who lived in Millbrook township even had P.O. addresses of Lakeview and I believe they still do to this day. Lakeview is actually in Montcalm Co.
