Ted or Dee Sager
Hello List Members,
UPDATE: John Wilson, born in 1839, has a brother named David who was born
in either 1824 or 1854 as he was either 40 or 70 years of age on the 1894
Bay County, Michigan USA Census.
John's obit says he was born in Bayam Township in Ontario. There is a
Bayham Township, Elgin, Ontario.
Does this additional info connect in any way?
Thanks for any help you can give.
