My great great grandmother was Jane Bice (Byce) who was from Canada and born in about 1828.When I got her daughter's death certificate, it said that Jane was born in Pennsylvania but a couple of censuses say Jane was born in Canada.She married Ephraim Patterson who was from New York state and her first two children named Watson and William Anderson were born in New York.In 1856 she had a daughter named Josephine in Michigan.In 1864 they moved to Antrim County in Michigan.In this area were several Van Camps and the Boise, Buys, Bice, Boyce family is intermarried with the Van Camps over the years.I perked up when I saw the reference to Durham County, Ontario because my Van Camps were from that area too.If you see any connections, please let me know. The intermarriages with the VCs were in the 1700s.
