Pioneer Book, perhaps there is information you can use.
Also
there were 8 living children, 3 having died in infancy.
Oliver
left Canada between 1817 and 1819 , lived in Niagra Co til about 1833
Have found him on 1830 Niagra Co census.
Find it intere sting that Oliver was apparently in Canada at the time

would be the SE corner of the township.
would be near Pontiac or Drayton Plains.
on adifferent circuit.
Believe this
Looking at the map this
Maybe he would have been
Oxford and Clarkston are north of this area.
Thank you very much for all of your help.
Sincerely,
Earl, Oliver
