Roger,
We corresponded for some time on the Eveleigh Family several years ago. Your Joseph Eveleigh was a brother to my Catherine Eveleigh and children of John and Mary (McGee)Eveleigh. I no longer live in Michigan and now am retired and live in Oregon. I have much more on Eveleigh's & McGie's if you are interested. Please contact me though Ancestry and I will send you my email address.
Looking forward to hearing from you,
Marian Sargent

Re: Catherine (Crawford) Clegg Obituary

dalerenaud — 2009-08-07 16:07:56Z

I see Crawfords and Cleggs buried at BETHEL METHODIST EPISCOPAL CEMETERY in pckford but don't see Catherine. I see a child of James and Catherine, I see James but not Catherine. That's strange. I looked in other cemeteries in Pickford and don't see Catherin in any of the ones online.

Re: Lordson family

Louis Lordson died 1/21/1900 in pickford not 1906. His death certificate says he's buried in Pickford but i couldn't find him in the cemeteries records in Pickford. Might not have a stone though. I have a copy of his death certificate. Not related. I can send you a copy just write me direct at dalerenaud@wowway.com

Re: Catherine (Crawford) Clegg Obituary

olefarmgirl1967 — 2009-06-21 14:47:50Z

Crawfords and Cleggs still live in the Pickford area as they are my dad's neighbors. We have no idea which cemetary they use though. Jimmy Clegg lives on Clegg Road and Al Crawford did. Al passed away 2 years ago and his brother Bob several years ago. Have you tried the Soo News archives?

Re: James Thompson/Caroline Steele

We are related to the O'Brien's as well. First cousins to my grandfather Alfred Lordson.

Matilda Steele Lordson I can help you with as she was my great grandmother on the Lordson side. She had 2 brothers at least my uncles Edward and John

Re: James Thompson/Caroline Steele

olefarmgirl1967 — 2009-06-21 14:26:12Z

Hi cuz!! I just found out that Archibald and Isabella are my great great grandparents as well. I am Matilda (Steele) Lordson's great granddaughter, granddaughter of Alfred and Agnes Lordson, daughter of Francis Lordson. I'm hoping to find information where Matilda's husband Louis Lordson is buried.

Re: James Thompson/Caroline Steele

roehea — 2009-06-21 00:22:14Z

Matilda was the daughter of Archibald and Isabella (Robertson) Steele. Archibald had two previous marriages and many children. Hence, the three of us are distant cousins. I descend from the Mary Steele (married Robert Francis O'Brien) branch.

I have several children listed for Caroline and James, but nothing on any descendants beyond that.

Re: Mary Jane Pennington

olefarmgirl1967 — 2009-06-08 03:27:40Z

My dad says Mary Jane is alive and well living on the original family farm with Charlie her brother there just east of Pickford. Charlie and my dad do alot of farming together.

olefarmgirl1967 — 2009-06-07 21:05:51Z

If any one has burial records for Louis Lorsdon, I would love to hear from you. He was my great grandfather and was married to Matilda Steele (Tillie) and died in 1906 I believe. He is not buried with her I do know that.

Re: West Family, Pickford Area please help!

olefarmgirl1967 — 2009-06-07 21:01:31Z

I live near Sunfield and I do believe there are still Hobson's in the area. As far as Estelle, I need more info as my family is actually from Sault Ste. Marie and Pickford.

Re: Death Records

Re: James Thompson/Caroline Steele

olefarmgirl1967 — 2009-06-07 20:52:10Z

I have no idea if the people you are referring to are my great great grandparents or not. Matilda (Tillie) Steele was married to my great grandfather Louis Lordson and they lived just northeast of Pickford, MI

Thank you so much for you information on Alfred William Fussey and his wife and daughter, it was very kind of you.

Can I ask your advice again please? How can I find out when they arrived in the States from England and which ship they sailed on? If you are unable to help I shall understand.

Are you looking for descendants of the Nebe or Fussey family? I can probably help you with the Fussey's but have nothing for the Nebe's, except for Caroline's name and the name of her parents' which you have kindly sent to me.

Thank you so much for your information on my ancestor Timothy Fussey, it was very kind of you. I'm sorry not to have replied before now but we moved house recently and I've been waiting to get everything out of storage and the computer set up again.

Thank you also for pointing out the (mis}spelling of the name. Over the past couple of years I have found the Fussey name spelt variously as Fossey, Fessey, Furrey etc., so I know now to look for all possible variations of the name.

Can I ask your advice again please? How can I find out when they arrived in the States from England and which ship they sailed on? I you are unable to help I understand.

TIMOTHY FUSSEY

volim — 2006-11-21 13:40:20Z

Do you have Timothy Fussey and Hannah Haigh in your family tree?

Timothy was born in March 1827 in Burstwick, East Yorkshire, England and he was the son of Anthony Fussey and Ann Sprox(t)on.

Hannah Haigh was born 1828 in East Yorkshire

Timothy and Hannah married on the 10 September 1854 in Ottringham, East Yorkshire and, shortly after their marriage emigrated to Canada. We think it may have been Wayne County, Michigan, Detroit.

We know of two children born to Timothy and Hannah and they are Fanny, who was born about 1856 and William Alfred, born about 1859, both born Michigan.

Although they obviously emigrated between their marriage date and the date of their first child I have been unable to find any further information about them, other than an 1890 Directory entry for a Hannah Fussey (widow Timothy), residing in Michigan.

I would like to fill a gap in my family tree.

Thank you

Brenda.

Coats Family Farm Picture in Michigan

sug53 — 2006-08-15 02:44:25Z

Hello - Yesterday I 'rescued' an old photo album from an antique store in Olympia, WA. It appears to have belonged to the Coats / Coates family. Most pictures are not labeled, but the album is in fairly good shape. The Coats farm picture isn't labeled for location other than Michigan, but it is an older picture and might be of interest.

The following are names of people in album:

Tommy Album - child 1895 / Layport family - Grace, Merrit, Herman, Cora and Lela portrait / Susan Coats with Nina Phelps / Captain Oleson at helm of ship / *Coats family farm in winter in Michigan.* The back cover has a couple newspaper clippings regarding the marriage of Arthur Magnuson to Winifred Coats who were going to set up housekeeping in Raymond, Wa. Albert S. Coats owned Coats Shingle Company. I think he had three daughters, Winifred, Florence and Gladys. His wife and two daughters spent a year visiting in California. There is also a wonderful old picture of docked ships with the caption: Bark. Eureka. J. Patterson Master. This is an older picture. I would be happy to scan and send pictures. Also, I'd like to return this album to direct descendants if possible. Thanks, Sue sug53@earthlink.net
