Hi Nancy, Would that book have James Al(l)chin in it? He was the brother to my 3x great grandfather, Edmund. Both James & Edmund helped settle Ingham Co. and then James moved on to Shiawassee Co.

For the one who asked, Laingsburg and Bennington Twp. are very close to each other. Living in Bennington Twp. my grandparents & great-grandparents would have their mail delivered from Laingsburg. Owosso is to the North. Not far these days but back then it was. My Dad was raised there in Bennington Twp. Started in the one room school house on Friegel Rd. and when his family died relatively young he finished school in Perry and then Owosso. The family's farm (Mitchell) was on Pittsburg Rd. in Bennington Twp. When my Dad lived there it was muddy roads, it still was the last time I visited there in the '90's and I have met the family who now own and run the farm. There was also another Newcomb Mitchell farm just to the South on Grand River Rd. gehill@tds.net wrote: Hi Nancy, Would that book have James Al(l)chin in it?

Nancy, Could you check the book for any Hickmott families? As far as I can tell any Hickmott that was in the Owasso area is related to me.
