| Holley - My
gggrandfather, Frank Zera Holley was born Mason, MI 2 Mar 1857. His brother,
Edward Irving Holley, was also born there 31 Oct 1858. I have been looking at
Mason, Ingham County, for years, since the family were early settlers of Ingham
County. Just found the family in Mason Twp., Cass County, on the 1860 census.
Parents were Joseph and Irene Graves Holley, who later moved to Illinois, then
Kansas. Willing to share all I have with other researchers |

| Westphal - In the early Cass Co. census records they have the surname spelled Westfall from The Westphal's lived around the Marcellus area and from what I have found lately I believe that the Westfall's surname could be related to me. The earliest known ancestor that I was able to verify thus far is John Westphal Circa 1844 who had a wife Henrietta circa1939, they had 2 sons William and Frederick. John also had a stepson Charles but went by Charley b. circa - 1860. After the death of Charley, his wife Minnie remarried to a gentleman with the surname Akerly. According to John's obit he also left 2 sisters and 2 brothers when he died, I am currently trying to locate these people | Ron Hawkins, Sr. | hawkins@net-link.net |
