My GGGreatgrandfather and his family also migrated from Jefferson co to Hillsdale Co MI in 1850. in the 1850 michigan census most of the people listed were from Ohio and New York and after the Civil War Jefferson co soldiers stayed in Michigan instead of going back to Jefferson co. life must have been better in Mi at that time....
