Your Dennis/Springstead people are in the migration pattern from Saltfleet, Wentworth County, Ontario to West Michigan. I have a Rachel Springstead who married Abraham Hagaman.Their daughter, Mary Hagaman married Howland Soules who received a 500 acre crown grant as a UEL. He logged off the indigenous trees and planted orchards which have been nursed there to this day. He died young when a tree fell on him. Mary Hagaman Soules remarried Thomas Condon. It is on her second marriage record that her parents' names appear. I have a letter written by Jeremiah Soules, son of Mary and Howland from Maple Valley to Jeremiah's daughter Lizzy Soules in Saltfleet.He's making "good money" logging off the forest in Montcalm County, and he wants his daughter to meet George Althouse. I have a cross-stitch on my wall commemorating the births of George and Lizzie and their marriage and births of their two daughters.My Rachel Springstead is reportedly born 5 Apr 1759.I was in Albany in September, but didn't get to the court house to get a document which I think might be an adoption. I need to write some letters.
Coeyman NY is a place associated with Springstead and Hagamans.
There is a William Henry Dennis christened in 1834 in Marblehead, Essex County, Massachusetts. The date matches with a William H.Dennis buried in Oakfield Cemetery. September 22 there was a commemoration event for his service in the Civil War. Company D, 21st Michigan Infantry. One of the historians names a Rowena Isabelle as his wife. The 1870 Federal census shows his wife to be Isabelle with mother-in-law Olivia Blanchard. Olivia does not appear with them in 1880.
A Jacob Springstead age 54 is residing in Trufant, Montcalm County, Michigan in 1880 with daughter Edith age 10. Jacob was born in New York est. 1826. Trufant is in Maple Valley, just east of Coral.
