Re: Nivison-Bay & Iosco County, MI 1880-1947

Bill, I came across your Nivison family while searching for mine! The information I have is from 1880, 1870, 1860 census images.

Condensed version:
1860 Michigan Branch Batavia
William Nivison - 46 - New Jersey
Catherine - 38 - New York
William E. - 19 - New York
(there are other siblings and an uncle?)
1870 Michigan Branch Batavia
William Nivison - 54 - New Jersey
Catherine - 47 - New York
William Nivison - 26 - New York
Belle 24 - Michigan
Minnie - 2 - Michigan
William D - 1 - Michigan

1880 Michigan Branch Batavia
William Nivison - 64 - New Jersey
Catherine - 60 - New York

1880 Michigan Branch Girard
William E Nivison - 37 - New York
Bell - 33- Michigan
Minnie A - 13 - Michigan
Willie D - 11 - Michigan
Archie E - 1 - Michigan

I found my "William Nivison" in Branch County, Algansee Twp in the 1870 census.

Hope this helps.
