Since 1993 I have researched both the Siver and Hill families in the State of Michigan. I have little information other than what family has told me. Information taken from the Michigan census records has allowed me to piece together the roots of these two families. Michael Henry Siver came to Michigan at least by 1858 to St. Joseph County as a land owner. He married in St. Joseph, County in 1864 treked up to Kalamazoo, County then over to Van Buren, County where he died in 1903. He is buried in the cemetery at Covert, Michigan. Also from New York State was a family of Corwin's they had a daughter, Vesta, born in Michigan in the year of 1843 as reported from information taken from the census records. My mother Reva Siver, was a grand daughter of M. H. Siver, being the daughter of George Nelson Siver who was the son of M. H. Siver. Michael Henry Siver tombsone reads "M. H. Siver" as well as some of his land records.
Williard William Hill born in Vermont, removed to Ohio, married Keziah Ingling, around 1844. He then removed to Cass, County Michigan around 1846 when son William Chauncey Hill was about a year old. December 24, 1854 W.W.Hill went out in a white out snow storm to tend the livestock, and no sign of him was ever seen again.
William Chauncey Hill married Roxanna Gleason in 1867 while the bible record shows 1876 the State of Michigan recorded the marriage in 1867 their first child was born in 1869, Willard Hill
My grandfather James Perry Hill was born in 1877, my father Chauncey Byron Hill Sr. was born October 14, 1903.
