NAME: Betty Van Landeghem
I have been very fortunate being able to find our family of VAN LANDEGHEM from Mt. Clemens back to the 1500s in Belgium. Now I am attempting to find information about their lives. Bruno VAN LANDEGHEM married Melanie VANRENTERGHEM in 1850 at Mt.Clemens. She died in Mt. Clemens in 1874. Someone told me long ago that there was a Priest at the Catholic Church in Mt. Clemens with the same surname, but I have never been able to find any information about her family. I would really appreciate any information about these families.

Baxter presumed to have been born England and also immigrated to MI as a
child.

As a rookie genealogist, I have done relatively little on the Rason line
and would welcome any assistance and/or suggestions on resources to
assist me. I live near Syracuse, NY and have not had an opportunity to
get to Detroit to work on this. Most of what I have accomplished has
been on the Internet and with the assistance of others.

NAME: Jean Chapman Snow
My Revolutionary ancestor, Ezekiel CHAPMAN, moved to Cooperstown NY in 1799,
with many children, among them son Zenas (my gr-gr-grandfather) who came
with his wife and 2 children. There they stayed until my grandfather moved
to Philmont NY. Zenas m a second time, and Randall was the oldest child of
the second marriage.
Randall moved to Macomb County abt 1866, when his older son John was
discharged from the Civil War. Randall's wife had died in NY, and Randall,
John and younger son Evander moved to MI together. Randall m a Polly Davis 2
Apr 1865 (so how could he have moved there in 1866?? But that's the date my
informant gave me).
John m Hannah VAN HORN and they had 3 sons and 3 daughters. I don't know the
names of the children except for one son, Clare, whom I found in the 1920 WA
census (because his mother Hannah was listed with him, John having d 1907).
My original informant (abt 1974), Margaret MacNeil, was a granddaughter of
John Chapman. Her father's name may have been Major B. Chapman. He moved to
the Upper Peninsula (Munising? That's where MM lived), got a good job in a
sawmill, married and remained in the Upper Peninsula the rest of his life.
John's other two sons (don't know about the daughters) moved with him to WA
in 1900, where John d 1907.
The only one who remained in MI (other than MM's
father, and perhaps the 3 daughters) was Evander, who lived on a farm in
Macomb Co. He had m a niece of Hannah Van Horn, Rosalind Longstaff. Their
children: Gilbert b abt 1874, Emeline b abt 1875 (John and Evander had a
younger sister Emeline who d at 14 in NY), and Polly Eufred (sp?) b 30 Dec 1882.
I wonder if the reason for Randall and his 2 sons moving to MI was because
of bounty land. I haven't yet tried to find out, since I am working on many
other lines as well.
I'd be grateful for any information about these families, as I am collecting
material for a book about Ezekiel, his ancestors (back to Edward Chapman of
Ipswich MA, b in Yorkshire England) and his descendants.

Queenston, ONT. Known children were; George born 1831 in St. Catherines,

Romeo) on May 20, 1852 from William F. MYERS and his wife Lerapta (?). On

Co. land on January 29, 1868 to Samuel E. FERGUSON, of Adison, Oakland Co.,
MI, but it is noted that Francis "reserved all the wheat crop lying in the
ground of said land". Francis was both a farmer and a carpenter in Macomb
and Lapeer Co.'s. The family story says that he would take jobs in Canada
and travel on foot to the site from Michigan, stay there until the job was
finished and then walk back home to Michigan.
Their daughter, Charlotte
E., married George W. STUART on January 2, 1856 in Lapeer Co., MI. Francis
and his family moved to Almont, Lapeer County, MI in 1868. Francis had a
brother, Ralfe Clench DARBY, born 1801 St. Catherines, ONT, who along with
his wife, Charity Jane _______, and children moved from NY to Macomb Co.,
and then appearing on the 1870 census in Almont, Lapeer Co., MI. George

Macomb Co., m. Arcelia PALEN in 1877 - Bliss, b. abt. 1859 Macomb Co. -

of John Bowman DARBY who had moved to the Detroit area and died there in
about 1934. Elisabeth D. (FERGUSON) DARBY died Jan. 22, 1876 in Lapeer Co.
and Francis Gore DARBY died July 14, 1897 in Walworth Co., SD.
