NAME:Ilah Farrington Allsop
I am searching for the parents and grandparents of my grandparents, Laura A. Walker FARRINGTON and William Austin Farrington. I know Laura was born in Orion, Mich. and William was listed as living in Armada when he married Laura. She lived on a farm in Macombe county but moved near Almont (Lapeer Co.) as a child and went to school in Almont. Neither my father (nor his niece) knew the names of their Farrington grandparents. All I know is from pictures that I asked my dad about. His grandmother, he said, was married to a Farrington who was a sailor and he was a no-count and then his grandmother married a Mr. Rossow. The pictures of her when elderly were in taken at her house in Port Huron. I have searched extensively on GenWeb and Rootsweb and I found Hezekiah on your Macombe site. I find it interesting that he had a son Austin and my grandfather was named William Austin. But the dates are wrong for Austin to be his father. William Austin was born about 1852 (marriage in 1897 when 25).
As for Laura A. Walker Farrington I know she was born in 1876. Her parents were Anson B. Walker and ? Walker. I cannot find anything in Mich. Genweb on him, but I was surprised how many Anson Walkers there are in the U.S. Anson and wife had six children : Laura, Rose, Gertrude, Nora Agnes, Bertha, Jay. Two babies died : Beatrice and (have to look up other).The only ones to stay in the area were Agnes and Gertie. Both married Dubay brothers and stayed in the area. I believe either in Mt.Clemens or by the lake. Agnes' husband was stabbed to death. I have not researched them yet.
I found in the database graves in Richards Cemetery for Hezekiah, Theresa, and Austin and another person, Alice Farrington. But that is not his first wife's name according to what I found on your web site.
I know William Austin (my grandfather) lived around there because I have some neat pictures I found in my grandmother's little box after my mother died. He is pictured with 4 different girlfriends and all have either Romeo or Armada printed on the pictures. The names of the girlfriends are there too. There is also a picture of a picnic (church perhaps?) and his handwriting on the back says Smith's Corners by Lakeville (I think that's what it said). I found this place on the map and it is close to Armada. He is with 15 other young people. One picture was his teacher with a message but no name.
Laura and William Austin did not stay in the area. Wm. was a harness maker and went where there was work. My father was born in Mason, Mich. but the family also lived in Bloomingdale, Gobles, Kalmazoo, South Bend, Ind, and finally Edwardsburg, Mich. William died in 1934 and Laura moved to South Bend where my family lived and died there in 1954. (well, Mishawaka--just a suburb of S.Bend at that time)
I know I must eventually come to that area to research, but I am really stuck now and am not an experienced researcher in genealogy. If there are any records that you know about and would be easy for you to look in I would be most appreciative of a jump-start.

I am looking for Charles WEBSTER and Hopey BRAINERD,Webster, who lived in Macomb County in the1820's - 1850's. They had 10 children that I know of. Charles, Ursula, Almira, Caroline, Daniel, Henry, John, Louiza, Martha and Sheldon. All of these children were born in Macomb County. I suspect that Charles and Hopey were married in Macomb County in 1826. They moved to Millington, MI., Tuscola County and are in the 1860 census there.
I can not find any of the children except Sheldon in the Millington cemetery and believe that some of them are buried in Macomb County.
If anyone has any information or could do census and cemetery look-ups and send me the information it would be greatly appreciated. I would be more than willing to compensate for this information. SEE BELOW for a reply to this query!

I am descended from Hope Smith Brainerd's younger sister Clarissa who
married David DICE. I have a lot of info on the ancestry of this family
going back to the original immigrant Daniel Brainerd. Probably you too have
this data. My work was done in 1990 and before.
I have 13 children for Charles and Hopey, two of whom are listed as
questionable. Besides those you list I have Mary Ann b 1828 [questionable]
Marie d at age 28 [also has been questioned] and George Warren Webster b 16
Aug 1852, d 23 Feb 1946 in Tuscola Co MI. He md Eleanor/Mary Ellen Woodbeck.
I have spouses for Ursula, Mary Ann, Louisa and a first name for Sheldon's
spouse. I have the family in the 1840 census. And I have a note on their
location in the 1850 census. Probably you have this as well. Perhaps now you
are subscribing to ancestry.com where all the censuses are easy to check
page by page.
Have you used the 1909 Brainerd Genealogy? Much of the data I have came from
that and the Millington Twp Cemetery and Death Records book published
in1990.
Let me know where you are in your research and geographically and let's see
if we have more data to exchange.
Incidentally, I found you by accident in a search for the WESTPHAL surname.
Are you researching any Westphal's in MI? I'm looking for a DEFER connection
to a Catherine Margaret Defer bc 1874 who married an unknown WESTPHAL.

I am researching the Frederick ( Friedrich) HUMMEL and the Ferdinand ROHRBECK families. The HUMMEL's lived on Moravian Drive in Clinton Township, and the ROHRBECK's lived on Utica Road near Fraser.
On the HUMMEL side I am looking for any information on old Fred's wife, Wilhelmiene FAULMANN (1853-1907), daughter of John and Mary FAULMANN. It is rumored in the family that she was Catholic. Does anyone know what church she may have been buried out of? She is buried in St. John's Cemetery in Fraser. She had 6 brothers and sisters. The ones I know of are William, Fredericka, Louise, Theodore, Ralph, Leonard, and Viola. Thank you for any information on the FAULMANNs.
On the ROHRBECK side I am looking to find any information on William ROHRBECK who lived in the Mt. Clemens area, who is believed to be a brother to Ferdinand ROHRBECK(1855-1936). It is said that they were brothers, but that on the side of William no relation was claimed. There is listed in the register from both Ferdinand ROHRBECK and his wife Wilhelmina KUKUK's(1859-1935) funerals a Mrs. Flora ROHRBECK. I think that she was an OEMKE, and that she may have been married to a Ferdinand ROHRBECK who died about 1945.
On a side note to any interested parties, about 1955 Ferdinand and Wilhelmina Rohrbeck's graves were moved to Clinton Grove Cemetery in Mt. Clemens from St. John's Cemetery in Fraser, along with their daughters Laura (Lora) Rohrbeck and Josephine Rohrbeck and son Herman Rohrbeck. The large headstone which sat for years in Fraser is now at Clinton Grove Cemetery.

believe my ancestor, Jane Miller, who married Peter Ober, belongs to the

According to the "History of Macomb Co", pub 1882, John Miller, from
Scotland brought his family via New York state to Macomb Co in 1831. His
son, Dykes Millar, married Emma Harvey and had John, James, Robert and a
daughter Belle. HIS son, Robert, married a Mary Shanley. Most of them are
buried in the Millar Family Cemetery.

I have been conducting some family research and was intrigued to discover that
2 generations of a branch of my family emigrated to Macomb. They were
originally from Spennithorne, North Yorkshire, UK and according to family
notes were :Gilbert LONGSTAFF (born 1792) and his brother Richard (1796).
Gilbert's son William (+2 brothers?)also emigrated. Gilbert's brother John
Longstaff was my ggg grandfather. Two of John's sons, Richard ( born1828)
and Mark,(born1834) also went to Macomb. I would love to know what happened
to them and like to dwell on their courage in making such an enormous
journey!

NAME:Teresa Allen
I am doing research into two families that lived in Mt. Clemens, Macomb County, Michigan around 1920. A man by the name of Albert ORMEROD was a butcher (Wife's name - Alice) with 3 girls, Eva, Jean, Eunice and 1 boy Rolland. I believe Albert owned and operated a butcher shop. His daughter Eunice married Walter Smith. Walter's mother, Sarah Heath, operated a boarding house in Mt. Clemens and his father was a potter by the name of Rueben. I believe that about this time, Rueben has a court ordered injunction filed against him to stay away from Pottery workers presumably because of his overt union activities. If you can help me it would be most appreciate.

I am looking for information on my g.g. grandfather Anson CONANT who
married Ellen (or variation) Van Buren. It was probably around the
1850's or so. I believe he lived in Metamora and then made his way to
Tuscola County. Any Conant information would be helpful, also. My other
search is for Calvin S. Clark,his son was Alphonso CLARK who was in
Macomb County for a short while around 1829-35 perhaps. Thanks.

NAME:Paul Scott
I am searching for any information or possible relatives of either Walter or William SCOTT, my great and great-great grandfathers. William I think is buried in the Armada area. Walter had 2 children while living in Armada, Mary "Olive", and Walter jr. Have a lot of Scott family information to share, but the time my ancestors were in the Armada area, after they came from Ontario in 1875 is a gray area. Thank you to anyone who can help

NAME:Kelly Spencer
My grandmother has told me that her mother Ethel DAVEY was born in Mount
Clemens. Her DOB was June 4, 1900 and her parents were James and Margaret
(HINDLE) DAVEY. I see a listing for a James DAVEY in the 1901 city
directory and also note that Mount Clemens is on the Grand Trunk Railway, as
is Brampton, Ontario where Ethel spent most of her 89 years. My question to
you locals is why this farm family would have moved to Mount Clemens around
the turn of the century for a short period. Any thoughts would be good. I
intend to run theories past my grandmother to see if any of them remind her
of stories she heard from her mother.

NAME:Tina (Hummel) Kacanowski
Does anyone know anything about Arthur HURTTGAM, born Jan 27, 1886? He left home in 1901 as a teenager. His parents were John and Louisa (LOOSE) HURTTGAM. Two of his brothers swore that they would see him around Cady's Corners and Mt. Clemens. Arthur also may have showed up at Herbert HURTTGAM's funeral (my great-grandpa) in 1967. It is also believed that he may have changed his name. Any help is greatly appreciated.

NAME:David Eick
Hello-
Ancestry.com has a Conrad EICK in the 1930 Census April 10, living in Macomb co. on Jefferson Ave. Age 45, claiming from Russia, single, owner of his house, parents from Germany, a farmer. I am seeking more information about G-Uncle Conrad. I have been told he died accidentally sometime in the 1930's or 40's, but haven't found any record of this. Can anyone help me out?
I do know he was the son of Charles Eick buried in Utica Cemetery. I have not been able to find out if he is buried there. The Eicks (Charles, Edward and Conrad at least) immigrated to the U.S. abt. 1890, I believe. I am trying to find out all I can about this mysterious g-Uncle, so as to learn more about my grandfather, Edward Eick, and "reunite" Conrad with our small family. I wonder, too,if he had any descendants or was ever married?
Thank you for any help you can provide. Please e-mail me with leads.
