I'm researching two ancestors that died in Macomb County, Michigan. They are a husband and wife; Newton Wilson and Eunice Bratin WILSON. Newton died on January 26,1863; Eunice died on January 27, 1863. As they passed away within a day of each other, I was wondering if there was any type of contagious illness in the county early in 1863. Thank you for any info on this.

NAME: Dennis Norton
Aaron BLAKE and Annie HOLBROOK were married in North Carolina in 1865. Aaron was from Saginaw County, but at some point they ended up in Memphis, Macomb County, Michigan, where Annie died June 14, 1886. Where is Annie buried? Aaron was in the 23rd Michigan Infantry during the Civil War and became a member of the Macomb Chapter of the G.A.R. about 1895. Annie was married to a Holbrook before her marriage to Aaron BLAKE. Some records indicate a possible name for Annie of HAZELTINE ANNA JOHNSON, of Raleigh, Lincoln Co., NC. What happened to the first husband whose name was probably John F. HOLBROOK Sr.? Some of the HOLBROOK family may have followed her to Memphis, and then may have gone on to Saginaw when Aaron moved to Saginaw not long before his death. Did Annie have family in the Memphis area before her marriage to Aaron BLAKE? Did Annie’s husband – HOLBROOK – have family in the Memphis area? John F. HOLBROOK was the son of Annie from her first marriage. His wife and family may have been from the Memphis area. Any help with this family, or relatives and in-laws of Aaron BLAKE, Annie HOLBROOK (or Hazeltine Anna JOHNSON) or John F. HOLBROOK would be greatly appreciated.

I own a home in Northern Macomb that was built in 1838 by Zephaniah Campbell. Campbell and his wife Betsey sold the house to a Duncan McGregor and his wife Julia in 1846. The McGregors stayed until 1850 when the house was once again sold.......this time to David Draper and his wife Abigail. Draper sold the house to Anson J. Labadie and his wife Rebecca in 1870. Four of the Labadie children died in the sping of 1874 and are buried in the Union Cemetery on Fairchild Rd. ( cause unknown but perhaps scarlet fever or ?????...........if anyone should know please inform me) Anson and Rebecca sold the house in November of 1874 to Henry Kloefler. The same year Kloefler sold the house to Dewitt Pretty and his wife Catharine. Pretty stayed until 1880 when it was sold to Charles and Minnie Hagen. In 1882 Hagen sold the house to Jacob and Elizabeth Gardner who stayed until 1892 when it was sold to Charlotte Trufant. Evidently Trufant died and when her estate was settled the house was sold to my ancestor Arthur Kitley.
