Surnames: HANSON/SPENCER Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/iRB.2ACE/2765 Message Board Post: I am looking for info on John HANSON & his wife Orpha who lived in Avon/Livonia from at least 1824 to 1835 when they moved to Lenawee Co., MI. John bought his farm in Livonia from Zachariah SPENCER & I believe it was near a highway & Lake Conesus (spelling?). John & Orpha had 5 living children by 1835: 2 girls (names unknown), Joseph, Benj. Franklin & Nelson. John, Orpha & their children are listed in the 1830 US Cenus in Avon Twp. as "free other" along with an older white woman. Any info on the origins of the old SPENCER farm or area would also be appreciated.
