Confirmation of from where Joseph TEBO and his family moved to Cheboygan. 3. When did Joseph TEBO move to Cheboygan. 4. The identity of Joseph's 5 brothers. 5.

Second Wife: Martha JONES Marriage Feb 6, 1887 Cheboygan MI

One record indicates he was born in St. Martin, Canada. We believe that to be Quebec. He was one of 5 brothers each served in the U.S. Civil War. They came to Cheboygan, Michigan from Canada. JOSEPH went to northern New York in the vicinity of Dicken Center, New York where a fiend or relative found work in the timber industry. NY State, Franklin Co 1875 Census lists JOSEPH as being 43 and Olive ALMEDIA his wife as 37. We do not know when he went from Michigan to New York. There he married ALMEDIA JARVIS. When she died in 1838 he went back to Cheboygan area and married MARTHA JONES, a Cheboygan war widow on 2/6/1887. JOSEPH died in 1895 and is buried in Pine Ridge Cemetery in Cheboygan, MI. His grave is located on a ridge in the cemetery by a flag pole with 5 other veterans. Numerous unidentified pictures of TEBO relatives available. This is an update to the query I submitted in January 1998. I have included additional information and I also have a new email address. Thank you. Hollis Bliss, Lawrenceville, GA, hb33@hkbliss.com

Henry married Margaret COURVAL or COURVILLE b 1848 Wilmington, Will Co IL. I have seen old photographs in an online archive showing old hotels etc identified as being on HAMILL's Inland Waterway connecting Cheboygan and Petosky, MI. Henry's family may have left as his son, my grandfather, Floyd Alvin HAMILL was b 1882 in Will Co, IL. Henry Cleveland HAMILL served in the 35th MI Infantry and was probably wounded in the Spanish American War. Any clues will be appreciated!
