Dennis, Thanks for the response. I had this really messed up. If Silvia was b. in 1834, then she couldn't have married the Edward Davenport that I thought she did. The Edward I'm interested in was b. in 1866, son of Rufus who was b. in 1829. Maybe Rufus had a brother named Edward. And, your William Patterson must be much older than the William Patterson I'm interested in, the son of Rufus. What had arroused my attention was that both William Pattersons had a close association to a Firster, which is my interest. Thanks for the help in straightening this out.

You might try reading " The early History of Jamestown Township" book . It was written by Mrs. Pauline Hall Gitchel in 1925. It covered the years from 1843-1870 and may have other Vanherwynen family members in it.

I have the obituary from the Grand Haven Tribune. Born in Grand Haven Feb. 20, 1889. Veteran of WWI. Wife Gertrude; dau. Mrs. Frank Vormittag; step-son Bernard Boyink. If this is the one you are looking for I will get you the entire obituary and other information. -----Original Message----- From: gc-gateway@rootsweb.com [mailto:gc-gateway@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of kees4reactie@xs4all.nl Sent: Friday, December 17, 2004 3:00 PM To: MIOTTAWA-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [MIOTTAWA] John Vanherwynen from Jamestown This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list.

Hendrik Jan Geurink was born August 24, 1825 as a son of Lammert Geurink - born March 16, 1794 and deceased March 24, 1866 - and Mijken Voerman - born October 24, 1785 and deceased September 2, 1835. They were married on July 30, 1814. Lammert was a weaver in IJzerlo, municipality Aalten, province Gelderland, Netherlands. His parents were Barent Geurink, born December 6, 1750, and Maria Nijman. They married on June 6, 1789. Barent's parents were Hendrik Geurink, born about 1720, and Hendrina Lammers. Besides your Hendrik Jan Geurink immigrated also two bothers and one sister to Michigan, USA: sister Everdina Gradamina Geurink - born August 13, 1816, deceased November 5, 1877 - and her spouce Izak Jacob Fles, eggs seller - born October 15, 1799 - brother Arent Jan Geurink, who married Harmina Oonk, female surviver of the Phoenix disaster in 1847 (to find on the USA homepage of Wayne Geurink) and brother Reinier Geurink, watchmaker, who died in Michigan(?) by tuberculosis, without leaving descendants. I hope to hear more about your Hendrik Jan Geurink tree.
