Seen letter that a Thomas (tom) sent to his cousin George W Wright in Howell (Marion Township Livingston County) Michigan. The letter was postmarked 1898 return address was T Wright Cigar Store. William and Sarah Ellsway came from England into N.Y 1839. They had two sons Alfred 2 yrs old and George who was born on the ocean. Have Death Certificate that also states this. William became a citizen 1849 in N.Y. beleived they went on to N.J. before coming to MI. in 1855. Wm. brought property and original home is still there on Wright Rd. Alfred brought property not far from George. After Wm and Sarah died George remained on farm until his death in 1923. Please if anyone has any information would like to hear from you. Will share anything that I have on family. George was my husbands gr. grandfather. Thank You Barb
