    Lawrence Olmsted says that Walter and Abigail were his grandparents and that
    Walterwas born in 1832. Also, there is a family Bible that says that Walter
    was born in 1832. Death record taken from obituary record, cemetery record,
    and family records, all in my possession. The obituary record states that he
    was living with his daughter, Nettie Pippitt at time of death, who was in
    Branch County. However, a search of both St. Joseph county and Branch County
    records didnot produce a death record. Walter came to Michigan in either
    November of 1857 or 1856 from Ohio. A census record in Ohio in 1840 shows
    Walter and his mother and brother all living with his grandparents.

    Notes:
    !Marriage information taken from IGI Batch #M513481 - Film - 1803-1842 - Call
    Number 904260. Extracted from Trumbull County Court Records.

    !Birth information taken from the IGI from the Vermont/Connecticut
    extraction program. TheBatch # is 7450190 - Call #027644.

    !Stephen is buried with his wife and sonGeorge in the Riverside Cemetery in
    Union City, MI. His grave is located in the section directly behind the vault
    about a third of the way back right nextto the walking path.

    !Stephen's past is kind of sketchy. All we know is that Stephen died in 1834
    and was buried in Union City, MI. In 1940 Elizabeth isfound living with her
    parents and children in Newton Township, OH. I don't know if she went with
    Stephen to Michigan and came back to Ohio after he died or not. The history of
    the City of Union City does not start until 1836 and says that the first death
    in the City was that of a child of a "Young Olmsted couple" living in the city
    who died from a drowning by falling into the Mill. It doesn't list the
    couple's first names. It also says that the first person to be buried in the
    cemetery was that of a child in about 1836. But Stephen isdefinitely there
    and died in 1834. So, I don't know if they don't list him because the city
    cemetery wasn't official in 1834 or what. There also is no information listing
    what caused his death. He was only 31 so there must have been some sort of
    accident.

  2. Stephen m. Elizabeth NICHOLAS 5 Jan 1826, Newton Township, Trumbull Cty, Ohio. Elizabeth b. 1 Jun 1805, Newton Township, Trumbull, Ohio; d. 2 Aug 1881; bur. Aug 1881, Riverside Cem, Union City, Branch, Michigan. [Group Sheet]

  3. Elizabeth NICHOLAS b. 1 Jun 1805, Newton Township, Trumbull, Ohio; d. 2 Aug 1881; bur. Aug 1881, Riverside Cem, Union City, Branch, Michigan.

    Notes:
    !Elizabeth's past is kind of sketchy. All we know is that Stephen died in 1834
    and was buried in Union City, MI. In 1940 she is found living with her parents
    and children in Newton Township, OH. I don't know if she went with Stephento
    Michigan and came back to Ohio after he died or not. Then there is a marriage
    record of an Elizabeth Olmsted marrying a John Jennings in March 1844 inNewton
    Township. I can find no other information on her except I found her buried in
    Union City, MI with her first husband Stephen. I can find no death record of a
    Elizabeth Olmsted or Elizabeth Jennings in Michigan. I am still checking for a
    death record in Ohio. She might have died there and her childrenshipped the
    body to Michigan to be buried with Stephen.
