Hello everyone - I've just recently joined on and appreciate all the great dialogue that is shared. I am somewhat new to this work but most of my interest is directly related to Shiawassee Co. area. Several names I am looking for are FOLAND, CRAWFORD and CARLTON. For starters, I am researching the family of Isaac FOLAND b. 1829-d. 1903 who settled in the area, near Perry, in the mid to late 1800's. His wife was Ellen (Hardy) and they came to Michigan from New York. I have records from Graham Cemetery on Britton Rd. and have been able to trace the lineage to myself (I would be a ggg granddaughter). I am particularly interested in any information related to George Foland b. 1868 - d. 1927 (a son of Isaac) and his wife Verina L. CRAWFORD Foland. I am hoping to find her family line but I have no leads as to her ancestry or immediate family. I do know that she died in 1909 as a young woman after having four sons. Her husband, George Foland, remarried and i know nothing of that spouse either. The other people I am hoping to learn about are Owen CARLTON (and family) who is buried in Shiawassee Co. and died in 1968 or 69. His wife was Emma? BURNS. I have no other information regarding this person. I am grateful for any help or suggestions. Thank you.

Shawn, You mentioned that you needed more information on George and Verina (CRAWFORD) FOLAND, but you did not mention what, so I don't know if this is helpful or not: 1900 census Woodhull Twp., Shiawassee Co., MI Roll#744, HH#54, p.349A: FOLAND, George (head) W M b. May 1868, age 32, Md 11yrs, b. MI, parents b. NY, farmer FOLAND, Vernia[sic] L. (wife) W F b. Apr 1873, age 27, Md 11yrs, 2 children/2 living, b. MI, F b. NY, M b. ENG FOLAND, Edwin A. (son) W M b. Jan 1891, 9 S, b. MI, parents b. MI, at school FOLAND, Howard C. (son) W M b. Oct 1897, 2 S b. MI, parents b. MI Based on that information, I was able to locate Verina in the 1880 census. Even though they list her as a male, I think this is probably correct: 1880 census Perry, Shiawassee Co., MI Roll#606, HH#120, p.482A: CRAWFORD, Edward W M 39 [head] Md Farmer b. NY, parents b. NY CRAWFORD, Mary W F 33 (wife) Md Keeping House, b. ENG, parents b. ENG CRAWFORD, Frank, W M 11 (son) S b. MI, F b. NY, M b. ENG CRAWFORD, Edward, W M 8 (son) S b. MI, F b. NY, M b.
