Norma L. Johnson (1841 Engman Rd., Muskegon, MI 49445-1463) is interested in the Briggs family of Ontario County. Her husband is probably related to Aaron Briggs (born Mar. 2, 1756 at Rehoboth, MA) and his wife, Rhoda Bowen (married Nov. 7, 1776). They resided in Westmoreland, NH, then Swanzey, NH (or Swansea, MA) and moved to Ontario County in 1805. Aaron Briggs is a pensioner of the Revolution. Aaron's only known child was Joshua Briggs (born about 1777) who married a Phebe M. Fuller (?). Any information on the family is appreciated. *

 

There are Briggs & Bowens in the BRISTOL (ONTARIO) BICENTENNIAL BOOK 1789-1989, SEE LIST OF EARLY SETTLER & BAPTIST CHURCH(can be obtained from Town Clerk of Bristol,c/o Bristol Town Hall , 6740 Country Rd 32 Cananadaigua , N.Y. USA for $7.00 )

 

You will find mention ON LINE of (see Cyndi's list)Anna,Barzillai,Calib,John, Moses,&Thomas BRIGGS in the EARLY HISTORY OF THE TOWN OF SPRINGWATER, LIVINGSTON COUNTY (next to Richmond Ontario), BY ORSEN WALBRIDGE.

 

MANY SETTLERS IN ONTARIO CO , CAME FROM DIGHTON BRISTOL CO. MASSACHUSETTS where in the 1790 census for that place you will find 17 BRIGGS, 1 DAGGETT & 1 BOWEN TO BE HEADS OF FAMILIES. (1790 Census ON LINE -see Cyndi's list DIGHTON BRISTOL co. MASSACHUSETTS.)

 

Looking for informtion on Aaron Briggs and wife Rhoda Bowen of Rev. War era. Aaron removed from Mass, NH to New York and died after 1840. Joshua and Phebe ? son of Aaron - Joshua may have died in NY and Phebe died in Mi. Zebadiah and Betsy Daggett moved from NY to Mi after 1850 their son George Nelson Briggs joined Civil War at Springwater, Livingston County, New York. Aaron lived in Ontario County according to his Rev. War Record. Phebe may have been a Fuller.

 

 

I am seeking information on the following people who lived in and around Richmond, Ontario County during the period of 1800 - 1850. Aaron Briggs m. Rhoda Bowen, Aaron was a Rev. War veteran. Son Joshua m. Phoebe ? and lived approximate same period of time in Richmond. Joshua's son Zebadiah Briggs m. Betsy Daggett and their children may have been born in Richmond area. Children George N. (served Civil War from Springwater area), Willard, Alonzo, Rowena, Brazilla, Lambert and Betsy J. Anyone with information concerning this family needed desperately to prove line for Briggs of Western Mi. Thank you

Obituary

 

Vicksburg Commercial:

"Died

BRIGGS - At his old homestead in Pavilion, Tuesday, September 20th, 1887, Eleary F. Briggs, aged 78 years.

 

Mr. Briggs was born in Paris, Oneida Co, New York, May 22, 1811. His early manhood was spent among the scenes of his childhood. In 1839 he came to Michigan, and for nearly half a century his industries have been given to his adopted state. By faithful continued labor he acquired a fair competency of this world's goods. His heart and hand were always open to the needy. He never oppressed those whom he would befriend. Notes now in his possession, are long since outlawed, without effort to collect, show that he was the poor man's friend.

 

His life was not perfect; it had its blemishes, but also its large bright side. Had he thought earlier in life that it was not good for man to be alone, the influence of a loving wife might have made that life even purer and better still. The tree deeply rooted and fully developed may be shaken by many storms, but no perceptible changes on the outside.

A rough exterior may contain rare gems. Actions speak more than words, and this is especially true of the departed. Three years ago he married Mrs. Branch, of Long Lake.

 

His wife and older brother, Zeb , remain at the old home.

Another of Kalamazoo County's pioneers has gone. Peace to his ashes.

 

The funeral was largely attended on Thursday at 11 a.m. Rev. D. H. Reiter (Congregational Church of Vicksburg), by request of deceased, officiating, and the remains were interred at the Smith burying ground." (Note: Now called Sand Lake Cemetery on Sprinkle Road south of Nash Avenue in Pavilion Twp.)

 

Kalamazoo Pioneers Obit.

Ellery F. BRIGGS

 

This well known pioneer died at his home in Vicksburg, September 20, 1887, aged 75 years. He located on the place where he died nearly fifty years ago, and had secured a property valued at $25,000 to $30,000. He lived a bachelor until three years ago, when he married Miss BRANCH, of Long lake, who survives him. Deceased was born in Livingston county, N. Y. His funeral was held September 21.

Notes for ALLEN EDWARD PAYNE:

About residence in Muskegon:

 

According to the obituaries of Minnie, Edith, and Sadie Payne, the family did not live in Muskegon when the census was conducted in 1910, and the three persons all died before the 1920 census, They lived at 45 Flint Avenue in Lakeside which would be the 8th ward.  45 Flint Avenue was changed to 2162 Sherman Blvd. in 1926; this is on the border with Norton Township, but they did live on the North (Muskegon) side of Flint Avenue.

 

This Is A Note From Almeda and Morris Briggs Daughter to me we were discussing a picture taken of the family picnicking at Pickerel Lake.

 

I  HAD  BEEN  THERE  WHEN  I  WAS  A KID  AND  KNEW ABOUT  WHERE HIS GRAVE  WAS  AT.  INFORMATION  I  FOUND  IN  MOTHER  HAND  WRITING HE MIGHT  HAVE  BEEN  MARRIED  3  TIMES. YES  RIVERSIDE  CEMT.  I  HAVE A PICTURE  OF  THE  STONE  I  LOOKED  IT  UP  EARLY  SPRING.

MOM  HAS  HER  GRANDPA  LISTED  AS  ELIJAH  IN  THE  INFORMATION. GRANDPA  PAYNE  HAD  A RESORT AT  PICKLE  LAKE  WHEN  MOM  WAS  A KID AND  I  BELIEVE  IT  WAS  OFF  RT.  37  HE  WAS  ALSO  A  TRAPPER,  AND A  PREACHER.  HE  DIED  DOWN  HERE LIVING  WITH  MOM  AND  DAD.

ALSO  SADIE  DIDN'T  DIE  AT  BIRTH  MOM  WAS  B.  11-21-1912 GRANDPA PAYNE  DIED  WHEN  I  WAS  6  MONTHS  OLD  1939

YES  PICKREL LAKE  UP  NEAR  WHITE  CLOUD.  I  DON'T  KNOW  EXACTLY HOW LONG  SHE  LIVED  SHE  WAS  AT  THE  HOUSE  OF  GOOD  SHEPPARD  WHEN SHE  DIED.  AND  IN  THE  PAPERS  THAT  MARCIA  SENT  IT  LISTED  HER DIEING  THE  SAME  DAY  SHE  WAS  BORN.  IN  MY  MOTHER  NOTES  IT  SAID THERE  WAS  A  STILL  BORN  BABY .  PAVILION , KAL  CITY  YOU'LL  HAVE TO  EXCUSE  MY  SPELLING.

 THERE  ARE  NO  MENTION  MUCH  OF  MINNIE.  BUT  MOM  HAS  HER  LISTED FIRST  IN  ORDER.

 I  CAN  GET  JUST  SO  FAR  IN  IT  I,M  NOT A  PAYING  MEMBER  I  DON'T KNOW  IF  ELIJAH  WAS  DOWN  HERE  OR  NOT  I  WAS  TALKING  ABOUT ALLEN  ED.  WHAT  DO  YOU  THINK  HER  REAL  NAME  WAS?

mom  has  Elijah  and  Sarah  Elizabeth  woodruff Payne  do  you  have her  maiden  name.

maybe  1870 but  probably  before  that  yes  we  have  Alfred  Briggs related  to  use.  i  can't  tell you  how  i  will have  to  look  it up. (information from a cousin who was Almeda (Payne) Briggs daughter
