Resently I start work on some of my Genealogy after I saw on PBS face of America and this show intrigic me on how we are all connected in some way or anther. Some closer and other not so close.
I found this wonderful site on Cass County MIchigan history thats where my 2 Great Grand father Gilman left New Hampshire, With his wife Mary Ann Simpson and first born George Head to Michigan in 1833. He was a copper maker by trade but I believe he farm section of land number #35 in the township of pokagan Michigan.
As I look through records I'm trying to figure out when and how Gilman and Mary Ann Sibling may arrive in Michigan. I notice that their is a J Simpson that owen some land near Gilman and Mary Ann she has a brother James Simpson. By an old family bible there list a Thodore Witherell and by old record that he and Gilman Witherell where brothers.
But my paternal Grand mother Elsie Miller (My fathers Mother) I'm trying to find info on her parents Theodore Miller and Sarah Keyport. I know Sarah was possibly born in Chiago Ill and died in Pokagon Michigan in 1926 on the 25th of April. I know at the turn of 1900 they operated a boarding house in Jackson Michigan thats where my Grand father Clarance met his wife Elsie. But they where shortly were divorce. It hard to find out anything with a comon surname such as Miller.
