NAME: Thomas Mitchell Behnfield
Am interest in finding information concerning William MITCHELL, born in
Monroe County, New York on Oct. 9 1823 and as a lad moved with his
father to Ray Township in Macomb County. He was one of the earliest
settlers at Old Mission, Grand Traverse count in 1857 and returned to
Macomb cCounty one year later to marry Ann N Mc Kinley, from Ohio. He
then returned to Old mission and homesteaded in Antrim County. His
father was born in New York andhis mother was born in Massachusetts. He
may have had a young brother by four years named Samuel. Thanks
Update! This query has now been updated by Mr. Behnfield - here it is:
My great great grandfather was Thomas Mitchell, born in 1796 in Penobscot
Maine, the son of a sea captain who went to sea with his father at the age
of 16. Upon their return from this sea voyage, his father died. I have yet
to figure out just who his parents were. Thomas Mitchell went off to war in
the War of 1812 and afterwards located in New York City and then moved to
what is now Rochester, NY. He married Abigail Sparks and they had four sons.
They moved to Mt. Clemens from Rochester and from there Thomas Mitchell was
appointed "Government Farmer" in Old Mission, Grand Traverse County. William
married his second wife, Ann McKinley from Ohio who was related to President
McKinley. William was my great grandfather and was Thomas and Abigail's
oldest son. William and wife Ann followed Thomas to Old Mission and then
rafted across the Grand Traverse Bay to Elk Rapids/Milton TWP with their
three young sons Thomas John, Cassius and George Peter, my grandfather.
When Thomas died in 1872, he had been living with his son Samuel Mitchell
and Thomas's wife Abigail was still living there with her husband and her
son Samuel.
I had never been told of any Samuel Mitchell by my mother or her
two uncles, Thomas and Cassius, who were the town barbers in Elk Rapids. I
suspected that William and Samuel were brothers but was never sure. Then,
this past March I received an e-mail from Brian Mitchell, a professor of
earth sciences at the University of St. Louis, telling me that his great
grandfather was Samuel and we immediately discovered that we are related
through Thomas and Abigail Mitchell. We have since been in continuous
contact via e-mail and telephone and I have learned about Samuel and his
wife Mary Jane and their children and we are on a roll.

NAME: Steve Tilk
Please help me find information on the following surnames: TILK, TILLK, THIELK.
I have seen the 1870 and 1880 census, birth and burial records from the
period. Because the 1890 Census was destroyed in the Great Chicago
Fire, I cannot find out much beyond that. My ancestors came from Meckelenburg, Germany. They arrived in the late 1860s and settled in Harrison Township. I have found two families with similar
names that arrived to the area at the same time. I have seen birth
records from the county for that period, but I lost track of the
families and their children around the 1890s. Would like to exchange information with others working on this line. Thank you.Steve Tilk

NAME: Eric C. Hartlep
I'm seeking the gravesites of my great-grandfather and his father,
both supposed to be in the Roseville and/or Utica areas of Macomb County.
My great-grandfather's name was August HARTLEB, although the family name
has also been spelled HARTLEP, HARTLEPP, HARTLIEB and HARTLIB.
Unfortunately, I don't know August HARTLEB's father's name, but it
may have been Theodore, Henry, or August (his son's first names).
August HARTLEB was born in Schwarzburg, Prussia, about 1846, and
died some time between 1885 & 1888 in either Roseville or Wayne County;
his body was supposedly buried near that of his father.
I can locate August HARTLEB through U.S. Census records for 1860 &
1870; both show him living in Macomb County, Town of Erin. The Post
Office, however, is indicated as Utica in 1860, but Roseville for 1870.
Perhaps the Post Office districting changed during those 10 years?
Most likely, the HARTLEBs were buried in Lutheran or Methodist
cemeteries, although I've also seen their church called the Evangelical
Church. In case it helps, August's mother's name was Dorthea Louisa
HARTLEB; she remarried in 1866, to John Christian SCHAAK.
Thanks very much for any information on my relatives. I have
additional information available for anyone interested. Please visit my Homepage!
