Looking for information in Schoolcraft County for WILLIAM HENRY BALL who is on the census of 1870 in Munising Twp. He married a PATIENCE HALLADAY about this time and was in the logging business. He was born in Ohio and served in the Civil War from Indiana. Any help will be so appreciated!

Just to let you know that I looked in the marriage index up to 1893 and do not find either a Ball or a Halladay. I also find William on the 1870 census alsond with Dara ? and Elizabeth. Do you know where William was married at?
