The journey you saw in 1911 - was that the one where there is:
Henry Hampton 26 b Michigan Train no 10 Going to Sault Ste Marie, Ontario?
And with him is:
George Hampton aged 24
Earl Hampton aged 17

Going on this information, I found a birth:
Earl Floyd Hampton
Born Fraser TWP 22 Nov 1893.
Baptised Bay, Michigan.
Father William Hampton
Mother Amelia Sweitzer.

So, it looks like Earl and Henry may be brothers.

I found a Census for 1900
Gibson, Bay, Michigan
William Hampton 26
Amelia wife 35
Harry N son 14 [I am almost certain this is Henry]
Arthur son 11
Earl F son 5

And I found a census for 1910.
Onaway Ward 1, Presque Isle, Michigan.
Henry Hampton 25 b Michigan Labourer Odd jobs Boarder
Early Hampton 16 Michigan Mason Stone Boarder

There is a record for a Henry Hampton in 1917.
He is aged 33, born Michigan, Occupation: Woodsman b Kinneth, Michigan Arrived 29 Dec 1917 at Sarnia, Ontario.

Some of the above is difficult to read. Do you think the above is Henry? I think it must be.

At seekingmichigan.org I found the death cert. for Arthur Allman Hampton, s/o William Hampton and Amelia Sweifitzer (must be Sweitzer), born 7 May 1887, Fraser Twp., Bay Co., Michigan; died 2 July 1918, Michigan.

Hope this info helps someone. I have no connection to this family.

Having been born and died in Michigan at the young age of 29, Arthur must have lived in Michigan his entire life. That's all I know about him.

P.S. He was a machinist.
