Family Tree on HOOPER and PHILLIPS my search on the HOOPER's
has taken me to Devonshire, Devon, England as I'm looking for John HOOPER
c 1766 wife unknown with children Robert HOOPER married to Pebe
Young, James HOOPER and Jane HOOPER. Presently the PHILLIPS
family has taken me to MA as I'm looking for Hiram and Miram a set of

more likely also to be from England. Even so much we find later that
the
family were moving through England. Stopping to gather passage or due

Jett

anything

My Great-Grandparents were Harry Jay BUTTON and Katherine

obituary
of Mrs. Kate BUTON puzzles me. The following is a quote "MRS.
KATE
BUTTON
DIES AT HER HOME--Daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Grant
POWELL, Van Buren
Pioneers."Mrs. Kate BUTTON, 65, widow of Harry J. BUTTON,
died at her home, 832 Elmwood Street, at 8:30 Monday evening." The
paper
was dated June 18, 1935, The Kalamazoo Gazette. "Mrs.
BUTTON has
lived in the neighborhood of her home for over 53 years and was the
daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. Grant POWELL pioneer residents of Van Buren
County."
This is the right person because it lists my grandmother Harriet
Genevieve
BUTTON
GRABILLl and her sisters as her children. The other daughter was
Kathryn
Louise BUTTON HOPPE. My great-aunt Florence BUTTON
married
W. GRANT POWELL of Downey, California. That might be
where
the confusion comes in, but I don't know. The obituary of her father
"Lieut.

I am researching FULLER. My great-great grandfather, William
Pierce FULLER (born 1831 in Harmony, NY), moved to Paw Paw, Van
Buren County, MI around 1850 and stayed there until 1861. He married
Martha
LONGWELL,
daughter of John LONGWELL, at John LONGWELL's residence
in
Paw Paw (approx. 1852). William and Martha had a number of children;
John
Edmond FULLER (my great grandfather) was born in Van Buren Co.
on
Aug 24, 1859. I am trying to find more information about William's
father
(Elvah or Alva FULLER) whom I believe moved to Van Buren County
with William. William and Martha moved to Wisconsin (Madison, WI, I
think)
in 1861 then returned to Chester Township, Eaton County, Michigan in
1867
where they remained until their deaths. William's brother, Daniel P.
FULLER (born 1833 in Harmony, NY), also moved to Van Buren
Co.
with the family. He married Alice in Van Buren Co. in approx. 1859. A
few
years later he enlisted in the Third Michigan Cavalry and served during
the Civil War. He moved to Eaton Co, MI after the war. Other related
Fullers
in Van Buren Co, MI: Solon FULLER lived in Van Buren Co. (1860
census).
His children included Lafayette (born in 1853) and William R. (born in
Troy, OH in 1847--his children were Maud and Harry). Any information
about
these or other Fullers in Van Buren County is appreciated.
