NAME: Patricia Secord
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 am looking for any known relatives of Abraham Cooley including information on his first wife Sarah J. Cooley and her parents or siblings. I am especially interested in any possible information on Abraham's Parents, Brothers, and Sisters who might have lived in Macomb County, township of Richmond Michigan, and or any of the included towns of Macomb County from 1870 to 1910. I am aware of Abraham's unfortunate demise and events. I have limited information on his 5 sons Maitland, Andrew, Myron, Frank, and Asa and an adopted daughter Ada. I would sincerely appreciate any information on them as well. It is my understanding that 3 of his sons Myron, Andrew, and Frank Cooley at one time together owned a Steel Foundry in Richmond. Approximately from the 1890's to 1902 ish. The Foundry building was still standing in Richmond in the mid to late 1970's and the Cooley Foundry Name was still somewhat legible on the building at that time. Is it still standing? Thanks again for any Information you may have to share.
