Hi,
I am seeking information on the parents and siblings of Elias Hiveley. Online family trees suggest he came from Mahoney Co., OH originally, and he listed his place of birth on the census as OH. Has anyone actually documented his parents and/or birthplace in some way? I have not been able to find anything difinative on who his parents were or where he came from---just speculation.
He married Diana Bills , d/o Alva or Alvah Bills, in MI. He served as a private in Battery D of the Michigan 1st Light Artillery Unit during the Civil War, earning a discharge for disability. Elias is my direct ancestor through his son Charles Henry Hiveley.
Any help would be appreciated.
Meg
