Research Notes:
Tried to obtain the birth certificate in Tuscola County Clerk's office, but the clerk could not find it. It is quite possible the parents never had the birth recorded, as this was an option for parents, birth records were created in 1905.
We were successful in obtaining a marriage license, as they became required in 1867 in Michigan. The marriage was also recorded in the marraige book at St. Agatha's Catholic Church.
