I am researching PEASE who came to Michigan from Maine mid-1850's. Siblings Norton Pease, Hiram Pease, Aaron, Jr. Pease and Harriet "Hattie" (Pease) Jones, wife of David R. Jones, all were in Ottawa/Muskegon counties 1850's-1860s. Hiram, Norton, and Harriet all owned land at various times in Egelston township, Muskegon County. Hiram married Mary Jane Spores of Chester on 16 Apr 1857. Not long after, Hiram and Norton were sent to Jackson State Prison. Norton later returned to Maine. I do not know what happened to Aaron, Jr., Hiram, or Mary Jane (Spores) Pease. Hiram & Mary Jane also appear as Hiram Pees and Mary Jane Spires in the marriage records for Ottawa County. Harriet (Pease) Jones died in 1859, but all efforts to obtain a death record or burial site for her have been unsuccessful. If anyone is researching any of these surnames I would love to hear from you. Sylvia
