J.M. (Jay) Ingalls Sun Jan 5 17:03:59 1997
INGALLS,James, b. 9 Jan 1802, probably in Jefferson County, NY. Father possibly Benjamin Ingalls, who died in Ellisburg/Henderson, Jefferson County, NY, about 1830. Benjamin is listed in Burleigh's 1903 "Ingalls Genealogy", but no children are listed. A Seth INGALLS also lived in Henderson at the same time as a Benjamin and James. All three are mentioned in the 1820-1835 Henderson Town Meeting Minutes. James married Malinda SNOW in 1830 in Henderson NY. We believe her parents were William and Sarah SNOW who are buried in the Snowshoe Point Cemetery, just west of Henderson NY. The Flint Genealogy Society Cemetery Records state that Minor Porter SNOW was Malinda's brother. We have quite a lot of info on descendants of Malinda and James, and some info on the descendants of Minor Porter SNOW. Glad to share Gedcom or printed data. James and Malinda were early settlers in Burton Twp, Genesee County MI, ariving in 1835, after selling land in Clayton, Jefferson County NY. Any info appreciated. This Ingalls family also links to MILLER and GOODRICH families and other Flint area families through marriages of their children. GOODRICH families could have the earliest and most complete records of this family, because James and Malinda sold their farm to their daughter Lydia and her husband Milo Sawyer GOODRICH, and lived with them until they died. Lydia (INGALLS) and Milo GOODRICH lived in Saginaw for while, and are buried in **Oscoda County, Michigan.**

Since 1990 I have been researching the ancestry (as well as searching for undiscovered descendants) of James K.P. Ream (he went by "Park") and Mary E. ("Mamie") Deyarmond-- they were married in Elmer Township and lived in Mio just after the turn of the century. Park Ream disappeared-- quite literally-- off the face of the Earth sometime after 1925. There are Deyarmonds in Oscoda County today and Reams in/around the Detroit area.

Is there any way I can search Michigan death records between 1925 and 1930 on-line? If you're interested, I'd be happy to post what I know about Park and Mamie on your site for others. Please feel free to pass on my name and address info to anyone you know who might be able to help me solve The Disappearance Of Park Ream. Thanks!

Near the Au Sable river's "Comins Flats" there is a very old cemetary that has a very small number of graves....under a dozen. Following a side path about 50 or so feet from it's entrance lies 4 or 5 small headstones marking the graves of the Davis family. All I know from area history is that this was the first black family to reside in Oscoda county in the very early part of this century. No one talks much about the Davis family or where they came from. They apparently were well liked in the community but a tragic accident along the river occured that changed their lives...I am very curious to know more about them and thier genealogy. My curiosity insists that there is more to this family people need to know. Does anyone know anything at all about them!
Thank you.

Trying to locate death information on William C. Mooney and Mary (LeMunyon) Mooney who resided in Oscoda County in 1884. Their residence was listed as Atherton Twp (now Big Creek). Their daughter Daisy died in 1884. Cannot locate their deaths. They were not in Oscoda County either. I have checked the surrounding counties of Alcona, Alpena and Presque Isle. No listings. I believe they died before 1900. Checked 1900 soundex for Michigan, no listing for them and checked their children's census information and they were not listed with them. Can anyone out there help?
Thank you, Iris

I am trying to locate anyone interested in exchanging information on the Schark surname. My great grandparents, Rudolph and Albertina (Kusch) Schark, settled in Detroit, Michigan around 1893. They came from Germany,but I don't know exact location in Germany they are from. My great grandmother, Albertina had a sister already living in Detroit when they arrived. I know there are Schark families living in Michigan today, I am trying to find out if their ancestors could have been related to my Schark ancestors.
