KISLINGBURY, LANKSBURY, PEARCE, WHITFORD posted by Nancy Custer on Sunday, March 28, 1999

This is only a thin thread of a clue that I have. When I was a child, everytime we passed a sign for Niles, Michigan my mother would remark that Niles was where my great-great grandmother Ann WHITFORD KISLINGBURY PEARCE was in a train wreck while traveling to visit her sister Christina LANKSBURY. I am not sure whether Christina was in Niles or nearby nor when the train wreck was. My mother seemed to imply that it was a fairly significant wreck. I would be interested in hearing from anyone researching the Lanksbury surname in the area and from anyone who could give me a timeframe for the train wreck. Thank you.

DAYHUFF posted by Tammy Dayhuff on Sunday, April 25, 1999

I am looking to the siblings of my husband(for starters). My friend was trying to help me get started. I believe the kids all had the last name of DAYHUFF and were from Dowagic in Cass County, Michigan. I don't feel that I have much to go on but, I do know that there were three girls Vicky, Barbara, and Kelly. There were also four boys including my husband (Louis- nick named Jimmy) the other three were Mick, Robert, and Danny. It is believed that some of them may still be in Cass County, Michigan. Any help would be appreciated.

I am looking for Jabez PETTIT, he was listed in the 1859 census for Porter Twp, Cass Co, Mi on page 282R. Jabez was married to Catherine RAMBO. I believe that children, Ann b abt 1838, Charles b abt 1840, Adeline and Catherine b 10 Jan 1843 were born in this county. Other children of this family were Permelia b abt 1846 and Phoeniz b abt 1848, they may or may not have been born in Cass County. Catherine (RAMBO) PETTIT died 26 Sep 1866 in Cass County. Somehow part of the family ended up in Pine Plaines, Allegan County, MI by 1860 (Charles, Catherine, Charles, and Permelia)/ I am not sure where the rest of the family was. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated
