(Birthdates from family records of Frank C. Palethorpe and sent me by his
daughter, Irene May Case.)
William continued the family trade of "Baker". The next record we find of this family is in 1851 in St. Charles, Kane Co., IL
The William Palethorpe family moved from Illinois to Romeo, Michigan
previous to 1866. On 1 January 1866, William runs an ad in the "Peninsular
Herald" that reads:
"ROMEO BAKERY ... the undersigned would respectfully inform the
public that he keeps constantly on hand Bread, Crackers, Cakes, Pies,
etc. Also an assortment of Groceries, Nuts, Candies, etc. sold on as
reasonable terms as can be found elsewhere in this market. A share of
patronage is solicited. WILLIAM PALETHORP, Romeo, January 1,
1866"
The following year in the 1 January 1867 edition, he runs this ad:
"It is not generally known that we have a Confectionery
manufactory in Romeo, but such is the case. Mr. WILLIAM PALETHORPE has
such an establishment in
connection with his Bakery. He keeps in their season, Oysters, Ice
Cream, etc. and the Bread, Cakes, Crackers, and Pies he furnished to
his customers have the reputation of being A No. 1"
Later this same year on 15 March 1867 William Palethorp and
Mary, his wife, of Romeo, for $1,070 purchase part of Lot #4 Block #1
Range 1 west of Main Street and south of St. Clair Street ... said
strip 34 feet wide both front and.rear, extending back 112' feet, from
John W. Dyar. Witnessed by Thomas Palethorpe. 16 August 1871 William
buys another piece of land adjoining the above for $600 from Isaac
Crawford.
Mary died in 1883, and in 1884 Williams deeds to his son John
E. (Eddie) Palethorp, for $2,000, part of the first above-mentioned
piece of land, plus the second piece, John agreeing to pay off the
mortgage. Two years later John (Eddie) and his wife Ella borrow $600,
due in 6 months plus 10% interest. Defaulting on payments, in March
1887 the two pieces of property are sold at public auction by the
Sheriff for $1,306 and $712.

William Palethorpe dies 11 June 1890 at the age of 66, and is
buried in Pontiac, Oakland County, Michigan. His wife, Mary Clarke
Palethorpe died prior to him on 22 August 1883 at age 62, and is buried
in Romeo, Macomb County, Michigan. It is likely that after Mary died in
1883, William went to live with his son Frederick H. in Pontiac,
Michigan, where he died in 1890. Frederick followed his father in death
3 December 1891 and is also buried at Pontiac.
