Thank you so much for such a wealth of information, I marvel that you managed to follow all of the name spellings etc . Catherines Mother was my Grandfathers sister. I am trying to find the marriage date and place of Richard Phillips and his wife Susan Buck Barnhardt. I dont know if they were married in the Niagara Area of Norfolk ??? Thanks so much again.

One thing for sure, Susan's first husband died in 1848 in Welland County so she had to have married between 1848 and 1851. Eli was born in Sep 18 1851 per his May 27 1914 death register in Wellington Tp., Alpena, Michigan. Since Richard & Susan were married & in Norfolk County per the 1852 census, it would be hard to determine where they actually married.

Two of Eli's marriages named his mother as Susan but his death register named his mother as Sarah Johnson which was strange. His death register is viewable on Seeking Michigan:

Hello, I do not know if you will get this info, Sarah Johnston listed as the Mother of Eli Phillips on his death record, was the daughter of Susan and John Barnhart , listed in a Niagara Church Record.
