Re: Henry Hampton born 1885 in Mich.
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. Brian

Re: Henry Hampton born 1885 in Mich.
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.

Re: Henry Hampton born 1885 in Mich.
I stand corrected. You are quite right; Arthur was born May 7, 1889; 29 years, 1 month, 26 days. Died Bay Co., Michigan, of pulmonary disease.

Re: Henry Hampton born 1885 in Mich.
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. Barbara P.S. He was a machinist.
