Re: "Old Oakland County Families" by Lillian Drake Avery Dear reader, In July, 1999 Deanna McIntyre Hester, in an email to MIMACOMB, spoke of "Old Oakland County Families" by Lillian Drake Avery (D.A.R) which was prepared in 2 volumes, V1 indexed by Edward H. Whitfield. and V2 indexed by Mary Shaw Green , as being an excellent source of information about Oakland and Macomb county families. If anyone has access to this book, would you please check the index for mention of Joseph Van Netter (surname spelled many ways: Vanatter, Vanetter, etc.) Joseph was reported by Lillian Avery (in "Michigan Military Records" of 1920) to be the first Revolutionary Army veteran to apply for a military pension in Oakland County Court, receiving his pension in 1822. Sincerely, Bob & Carol Swenson rswenson@stanford.edu
