where is paewatverty??

thepaperrose — 17 Sep 2008 12:36:52 GMT

Hello! I was going through death records at the County Clerks and found my ggrandmothers sister was born in Paewatverty, Michigan. I have absolutely no idea where this could be. I'm assuming somewhere in Cheboygan Co, otherwise they probably would have given just Michigan. I personally think it's going to be something like Chum's Corners (outside Traverse City), or Maue's Corners (outside Onekama) which are families that owned all the land around that intersection, but they aren't on any maps. So, if someone comes across any helpful info, I would be very, very grateful!! Thank you!!!

Looking for information on JAMES AND/OR ALBERT HARRIS

Kimoeagle — 20 Aug 2008 2:02:38 GMT

My g-grandfather was James Harris.According to the MI/US Census of 1870, he was a widower living as a boarder with a James Lang, and was born in Canada abt. 1825. He married Henrietta Jane Hinckley of South Haven, MI in 1855. One child was Albert Harris, who was born in 1867 in Indian River, Burt Township (?), MI. Albert was my grandfather.
I would be interested in whatever information you might have to offer about either of them.
I would also be open to any advice that you might have!

Looing for City of Cheboygan and Cheboygan County Info

kjenter — 2 Oct 2007 3:08:39 GMT

1. St. Charles Catholic Church was in Cheboygan I believe it is now closed. Where are these records now?? Are they accessable?? A bride and groom married there in 1940. Would the church records show the parents of bride and groom??

2. Do the holdings of the vital records in Cheboygan Co include name change records? Bride from question 1 above might have changed her name from her birth surname name to a new surname at age 18 or so. If there are name change records can a daughter of the bride get a copy of the name change. Name change probably took place in 1939, 1940.

Information needed for DAR application.

Thanks in Advance

Jewell Family

gracescottjewell — 23 Nov 2001 9:21:22 GMT

My husband is a great great grandson of William Jewell (1812-1899), who died in Cheboygan. He is decended from one of William's sons (Hector, 1855-1928) who remained in Ontario (North Gwillimbury Township, York County). We're always interested in connecting with distant relatives, as several of William's sons moved to Cheboygan with him in 1880, after the death of his wife Hestor Sedore (1816-1875).

Still a mystery is where in Upper Canada William was born.

Information Please - Orphanage *

dutchgirl7 — 13 Jun 2007 1:19:16 GMT

I recently found out that my father and his sister both spent some time in an orphanage in the 1930's.
His mother passed away in March 1929 and both the children along with my Grandfather are found in the 1930 census living with my great Grandfather in Wayne County, Michigan.

I believe the orphanage was in Cheboygan County area due to an elderly family friend (who was a child in the 1930's) remembers it being "up North" and the family had a history of living in the area. Further, the mother, my grandmother, is supposed to have died in Benton Township, Cheboygan County. Some time after the census the two children went to the orphanage for an unknow length of time.

Does anyone have an information on a possible orphanage or where any existing records my be?

My Grandmother was Dina Debusschere married to John Van Loon.

Thank you for any help or leads.

Looking for verification of a marriage between Arthur or Arthermour P. McCauley and Hannah Terrian (name is sometimes mistranslated as Ferrian) in 1883, Cheboygan Co., Michigan. They had a son, Fred C. born 7 Aug 1890, who married Lola Glass in 1915. Part of the family might of moved to Allardt, Fentress, Tennesee. I haven't had any luck so far looking for them in censuses. Need locations and dates.

Charles FITZPATRICK and Mary TUCKER- Cheboygan Co MI 1888-1889 and beyond

Iris Peppers — 6 Jan 2007 3:26:26 GMT

Hi,

I'm wondering if there is someone out there who is working on this family. My interest is Mary TUCKER as she is my ggrandfather's sister. Here is what I know about them. Mary Malica TUCKER was born in Ontario ca. 1862 to Hiram TUCKER and Thursday Emeline RINESS. I found her marriage to Charles in the Cheboygan Co MI Marriage records in Feb of 1889. Charles James FITZPATRICK was listed as being born in Sandusky, O....not sure if this is OH or Ontario. His parents listed were James FITZPATRICK and Anne last name unreadable. I tried to track these 2 down on Ancestry through the census records, but am unable to pinpont them in the 1900 census for MI or the rest of the United States for certain. Does anyone out there connect to this family and might you have further information on them? Thank you,

Iris Peppers
Michigan
