FLUSHING TOWNSHIP.

He married in Flint, in November, 1835, Miss Abigail Maria Ensign, of Greenwich, N. Y. By this union were born a family of four children, viz. : George, Althæa, Rhoda, and Henry H.,-all living. Mrs. French departed this life the 16th of November, 1871, and was buried in the Flushing cemetery. Ile married, June 23, 1872, for his second wife, Mrs. Susan Delbridge, widow of Wil- liam L. Delbridge, with whom he now resides. Mr.

French, by his industry, has acquired a competency suffi- cient to enable him to live in case. He has enjoyed the full confidence of his townsmen, they having successively elected him town treasurer and justice of the peace ; the latter position he filled for six years. At the present time (Sep- tember, 1879), lie is sixty-six years of age, and seems to be possessed of as much energy as a young man of thirty. Hle believes this to be the result of' a life of total abstinence.

MRS. EBENEZER FRENCH.

EBENEZER FRENCII.

The rock-ribbed Green Mountain State sent many of her hardy sons to the western wilderness to help build there a mighty and prosperous commonwealth, and than those from the green-clad walls of the State, whose people "in the name of Vermont defied all the world," none nobler nor more staunch came to this region to erect their homes.

The gentleman above named was born in Woodstock, Windsor Co., Vt., May 12, 1810, and lived with his father until sixteen years of age, after which time he worked out during summers, and attended the district schools winters until he was twenty-one. Still continuing his farm labors, he taught school winters until 1834. On the 31st of August, in that year, he was united in matrimony to Martha S. Dunham, daughter of Simeon and Sophia Dun- ham. Sept. 6, 1836, he started for Michigan with his family, going over the mountains to Whitehall in a lumber-wagon, thence down the canal to Troy, thence by the Eric Canal to Buffalo, and from the latter place to Detroit by steamer. From Detroit the remainder of the journey to what is now Flushing township was traversed in a lumber-wagon.

Mr. French purchased and settled on land in this town, and in common with the other settlers endured the various privations and sore hardships incident to the life of a pioneer. Nine children were born to Mr. and Mrs. French, viz. : Martha A., Harriet E., Mary S., Horace D., Morris F., Harriet E. (20), Simeon E., Wilber F., and Willard (). Of these all are living except Harriet E. ( Ist ) and Simeon

E. Mr. French has been placed by the citizens of the town- ship in nearly all its offices, of which he held that of super- visor seven years, and is at present inspector of schools.

DANIEL COTCHER.

This gentleman was born in Bethlehem, Albany Co., N. Y., Oct. 10, 1833, his father, John Cotcher, having emi- grated from England about 1820, and settled in that town, about two miles from the city of Albany. Hle owned a farm and managed it until 1846, when he removed to the township of West Bloomfield, Oakland Co., Mich., purchased a place, and lived upon it till his death, which occurred Jan. 13, 1873, when he was seventy-six years of age. Ilis widow and one son, James Cotcher, still reside there.

Until 1848, Daniel Cotcher aided his father in his farm Anties, but in that year he entered the store of O. C. & R. B. Morris, at Pontiac, and remained there five years. The greater part of the two following years he spent in the West. Nov. 5, 1855, he came to Flushing village and began work at his trade in the establishment of Charles Seymour, Mr. Cotcher doing the first tinner's work in the first tin-shop in the village. He subsequently purchased the tin-shop and hardware department, and conducted busi- ness for himself about eight years. In the spring of 1865 he entered into a business partnership with Franklin A. Niles, forming the firm of Niles & Coteher, which has con- tinned to do a successful business to the present time. Mr.

HISTORY OF GENESEE COUNTY, MICHIGAN.

Cotcher has been continuously in trade in Flushing longer than any other merchant now residing in the village, and his mercantile life has not been marked with any of the disasters which many less careful managers have experi- enced. Ile has served a number of years as a member of the union school board, and was one of the first board of village trustees, elected in 1877.

Sept. 25, 1860, Mr. Cotcher was married to Mary M. Woodruff, a native of Pittsfield, Mass., where she resided most of her life previous to her marriage. Her father, Amos M. Woodruff, settled in the township of Flushing about 1844, and died April 17, 1875, aged sixty-four years. Mrs. Cotcher is a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church of Flushing. Two children-a son and a daughter- have been born to this couple. The family is one of the most highly esteemed and respected of any living in the place.

JOHN PATON.

At least one native of " Auld Scotia" built for himself a home in the wilds of this township, entering his land before a single white inhabitant had reared his humble eabin in its forest. Born in Blackford, Perthshire, Scotland, Nov. 5, 1801, his thread of life has spun out to more than an aver- age degree, owing largely, perhaps, to the pure air inhaled among his native hills in his youth. He learned the trade of a weaver, and followed that occupation until his removal to America. On the 21st day of March, 1827, in company with his sister, Marian Paton, he left his old home, and, after stopping a short time near Glasgow, sailed for New York on the 9th of April, arriving at the latter place May 8, 1827. There he saw the first colored people his eyes had ever rested upon, and the sight was a novelty to him, The day following his arrival in New York he visited Pat- erson, N. J., and a few days later commenced weaving duck at that place for a friend, Mr. Burton. Hle shortly after obtained a situation in the factory of Mr. Heights, at Little Falls, near Paterson. He afterwards, in company with James Woodhouse, operated a factory on commission, and continued in the business until he came West. Early in 1834, Mr. Patton came to Michigan, and in June of that year purchased land which comprises the principal part of his present farm. As he was unwilling to move upon it at that time,-so far from any others,-he located up the river in what is now Flint township, on the place at present owned by Mr. Warren. Farther up the stream, and about five miles out from Fliut, were then living Nathan and Isaac Miles, and eighteen or twenty miles below, in Saginaw County, was one Mr. Hayden. These were the nearest families to Mr. Paton living on the river, and the only ones in the distances mentioned. At the time he located in Flint township, Mr. Paton was unmarried, but was ac- companied by John Stothers and wife, from Canada, Mrs. Stothers doing the housework. This couple remained but a short time. Nov. 22, 1835, Mr. Paton was married to Miss Mary Evans, and in February, 1837, moved with his wife and one child to the farm where they now reside.

Mrs. Paton was born Jan. 30 or 31, 1816, in Manchester, England. Her parents, although natives of Ireland, were both of English descent. Her mother died in England,

and in 1830 her father, John Evans, removed with his daughter to Stockport, N. Y., five miles north of Hudson, Columbia Co., where they remained five years. Their trip, in October, 1835, to Flushing, occupied three weeks' time, the journey being made by eanal to Buffalo, thenee to De- troit by boat. The Saginaw turnpike was not then com- pleted, although work was progressing upon it, and as Mr. Evans was unable to procure a team in Detroit, he wished his daughter to remain there until he could go to Flushing and bring a team baek after her. She demurred, however, thinking she was as well able to walk as her father, and together they started, making Hamilton's tavern, eleven miles out, the first day. The following day they walked to Waterford, twenty-one miles farther, and attended a quilt- ing at that place in the evening. The third day they reached Thomas Irish's tavern in Grand Blane. Upon arriving there, Mr. Evans drank a quantity of cider when quite warm, and serious results very nearly followed, he becoming for a short time like one dead. His daughter was greatly alarmed, and the presence of a crowd of roughs and horse-thieves, who deliberately proceeded to strip her father and hunt for his valuables, tended to heighten her anxiety, she in the meanwhile being seoffed and jeered by them. At length the landlord appeared and stayed proceedings. Mr. Evans finally recovered, and the next day they walked on through Flint and down to where Mr. Paton was living. In Novem- ber following, Mr. Paton and Miss Evans were married, as stated, and after moving to Flushing (in 1837) stayed for a short time in Mr. Evans' log house until a frame structure could be erected on their own place. They are the parents of four children, all living but one, who died at birth. The names and births of those living are respectively as follows : John Paton, Jr., born in Flint township, Sept. 15, 1836. Mary M. Paton, born in Flushing, July 23, 1839.

Annie B. Paton, born in Flushing, Feb. 12, 1842.

Since coming to Michigan, Mr. Paton's occupation has been that of a farmer. He and his wife were both mem- bers of the Presbyterian Church at Flushing, which society is now so disorganized as to hardly be considered an or- ganization. The daughters are both members of the Meth- odist Church. Politically, Mr. Paton was a member of the old Whig party until the Republicans organized, since which time he has stood on the same platform with them. For some account of the trials this estimable family endured in the days when they were pioneers, the reader is referred to the foregoing history of the township of Flushing.

THOMAS H. KELLAND.

In the northwest part of Flushing township is a neigh- borhood known as the " English Settlement," from the fact that those who located there were from the mother-eoun- try, and others have arrived in later years. Mr. Kelland, who was born in Devonshire, England, July 18, 1835, emigrated with his sister to America in 1850, and for two years lived south of Flint, removing subsequently into the border of Shiawassee County, west of his present residence. After remaining there two years he came to the place he now occupies, formerly the home of Samuel Wood, and still partly owned by his heirs. On the 30th of April,

1862, Mr. Kelland was married to Mr. Wood's daughter, Martha A. Wood, who was born on the farm July 19, 1844. To Mr. and Mrs. Kelland have been born two children, viz. : Fannie A., born Ang. 18, 1864; George E., born Dee. 8, 1868.

Both Mr. Kelland and his wife are members of the Methodist Episcopal Church, located near their residence. Politically, Mr. Kelland is a Republican.

Mrs. Kelland's father, Samuel Wood, a native of Der- byshire, England, emigrated from Lancashire in May, 1842, and in March, 1843, was married to Mrs. Mary Vernon, also from Lancashire, who had come with her father, John Bailey, the same spring, and lived at Flushing village, where Mr. Bailey soon after died. Ilis wife died on the Wood place. Samuel Wood's death occurred March 22, 1875, when he was sixty-one years of age. His widow, who was also a widow when married to him, still survives, and her home is with her son-in-law and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Kelland. A more full account of the settlement of the English families, with their experience as pioneers, will be found in the township history.

ANDREW F. SUTTON.

Mr. Sutton, the third son and the third child in a family of seven children, was born Nov. 20), 1817, in the State of New Jersey. Ilis parents were Micaiah and Rachel ( Free- man) Sutton, and were farmers. The eller Sutton also carried on the tanning and currying business. A. F. Sutton came to his present location in Flushing about the year 1853, and purchased-opposite his present resi- dence -- a farm of Jarvis Bailey. After his arrival in Gen- esee County, Mr. Sutton was married, in Flint, to Jeannette Boomer, who died in Flushing, and in 1865 he married the widow of Linus Jacox. Mrs. Sutton was born Aug. 15, 1817, in Putnam County, N. Y., and about 1837 came to Michigan with her mother, Mrs. Davenport, who pur- chased a farm near Clarkston, in Oakland County. Mr. Davenport's decease occurred before the family removed from New York. The daughter was subsequently married to Linus Jacox, who also lived near Clarkston, and about 1854 came with her husband to Flushing, he purchasing the place where Mr. and Mrs. Sutton now reside. Mr. Bailey, the former owner, had cleared to some extent ou the farm, but made no further improvements, and Mr. Jacox built the house now standing cast of Mr. Sutton's residence, and also erected barns. The present dwelling of Mr. Sutton was built in 1875. The farm now contains one hundred acres. Linus Jacox died in November, 1861, and his widow (whose maiden name was Rachel Daven- port) was married to Mr. Sutton, as above stated. Mr. Sutton and Mrs. Jacox had each four children-three sons and a daughter-when married. Mr. Sutton is a Repub- lican in politics, and both he and his wife are connected with the Methodist Episcopal Church at Flushing.

ALEXANDER BARBER.

Among the residents of Flushing who were during their lives held in great esteem, the person above named is one

of the first to be mentioned. llis birth occurred Oet. 17, 1815, among the hills of the town of Morrisville, Madison Co., N. Y. April 15, 1838, he was married to Amanda Smith, who was also a native of Madison County, the date of her birth being May 24, 1816, and the town, Hamilton, of classic notoriety. In the spring of 1839 they buried an infant son, and in June of the same year Mr. and Mrs. Barber removed to Michigan, stopping until fall with Mrs. Barber's brother, Simcon M. Smith, in Groveland, Oakland Co., where he had settled early. He afterwards came to Flushing, where he died Upon their arrival in Flushing, Mr. Barber and his wife located on a farm on the west side of Flint River, four miles below the village. Mrs. Barber's father, Ezra Smith, came to the township with his wife and one son-Ezra Smith, Jr. (the latter having his wife and two children with him),-aud both owned land down the river.

Two children were born to Mr. and Mrs. Barber, and both died in infancy. Mr. Barber's principal occupation was that of a farmer, although much of his time was spent in teaching school-principally winters -- in both New York and Michigan. In 1865 he moved to Flushing village, where his widow still resides. During the last ten years of his life he had the agency for several insurance companies, among them the " Watertown," of Watertown, N. Y. IIc was a firm Republican in politics, and one of the most prominent citizens of the township, as is evident from the fact that for many years he was elected to its various offices, and honored with the trust and confidence of those whom he represented. He was a member of the Baptist Church at Flushing, with which Mrs. Barber is still con- nected, she having, before her marriage, united with the church of that denomination at Hamilton, N. Y.

The farm Mr. Barber settled on when he came to this township he purchased from second hands, yet no improve- ments had been made upon it. Until he and Mr. Smith could ercet board houses on their own places, they lived in a small shanty on the Brent farm. Mr. Barber's board house, when completed, was twelve by sixteen feet in di- mensions, and one story high. The hardships the settlers endured in those early days are scarcely to be described, but they live vividly in the recollection of those who ex- perieneed them. Sickness was added to other trials, and many times were the dwellers in the wilderness discouraged at their gloomy prospects, but the end truly crowned the work, and success and prosperity at last smiled upon them.

A couple of years after he settled, Mr. Barber met with a serious accident. While riding his Indian pony in the pursuit of his township duties, it fell with him and crushed his foot badly, and he never fully recovered the use of it. This and his age prevented his acceptance as a volunteer during the Rebellion, which circumstance he very much re- gretted. He suffered much from sickness, especially dur- ing the last eight months of his life, and a combination of the most serious diseases finally caused his death, on the 27th of February, 1878, and those who were acquainted with him and knew his worth were called upon to mourn the loss of a respected friend and citizen, while the wife who had stood by him in trial and in prosperity was left utterly alone, to mourn till she, too, is called.

MUNDY.

THE township of Mundy ineludes Congressional town- ship No. 6 north, in range 6 east, or one-half the territory originally set off to it. It is bounded north by Flint town- ship, east by Grand Blane, south by Fenton, and west by Gaines, which was until 1842 included within its limits. The natural characteristics of Mundy are much the same as those of its sister-towns, consisting of a generally level sur- face, with portions considerably undulating, a variety of soil, and a considerable acreage of timber. In many respects it is one of the best townships in the county, and its improve- ments are very generally excellent. It was settled by an energetic, thrifty class of farmers, and the success which has attended their efforts to build up substantial and comfort- able homes in the wilderness is everywhere apparent in the fine forms, tasty dwellings, and the various accompaniments of a well-ordered agricultural community. Unlike many portions of the country, its first settlers possessed a greater intelligence than those in other localities, and this, combined with enterprise, wrought a wonderful change in the face of the region which frowned upon them over forty years ago in all the majesty of a forest-erowned domain, where the brute creation held almost undisputed sway and the axe of the pioneer had never swung nor its strokes echoed through the primeval aisles. But as change is the order elsewhere, so was it here, and the pleasant and peaceful homes of to-day are a marked contrast to the wilderness of earlier years.
