• 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.
