Weatherwax COAN (1823-1903) Author: clownperson Date: Saturday, July 04, 2009 Classification: Query Surnames: Coan, Weatherwax, Dornburg
I am on the trail of Catherine and keep coming up cold. All I have to confirm her connection to Michigan is her death certificate. She was born 17 June, 1823 in NY (probably at the Town of Schagticoke, Rensselaer Co.) to Peter and Elizabeth (GRAUBERGER) Weatherwax. She died at Evangeline Twp., Charlevoix Co., MI on 10 February, 1903 at the age of 79 years and 8 months. She was buried in the Bay Springs Burial Ground on 12 February, 1903. I am simply not finding her even though it appears that she was the recipient of surrogate court papers from NY while living in Charlevoix Co. in 1877. It also doesn't help that I am very leery about the spelling of her married surname. The only whiff of a clue I currently have to work with is that the informant on her death certificate was John A. Dornburg.
