The information I have on the burials of Abner & Ester Lidwell and Mary Ferriss are from the same source you found online.
I looked at the online catalog for the Burton Collection and didn't see a microfilm of the Haldimand Papers. This is the link to the catalog if you want to do a search & check the sources mentioning them: http://dplopac.detroitpubliclibrary.org/uhtbin/cgisirsi/x/x/0/49http://dplopac.detroitpubliclibrary.org/uhtbin/cgisirsi/x/x/0/49
I've been going through the MI Pioneer & Historical Collections that have the papers in them. It's hard to go through them if you don't know exactly where to look. So much material. I wonder if they are on film through the LDS or through interlibrary loan from the Archives?
I've always seen Catherine Hon's birth date as 1762 do you think that's inaccurate? 1768 would make her younger at Ruddle's Fort and possibly not married to Charles yet. Maybe they were engaged?
I think that Joseph Ferriss probably died between 1819 & 1823. Those are the dates on either side based on his sale of land and Isaac's petition for land on Grosse Ile that states his father was deceased.
I have taken digital pictures of some of the Macomb Ledger entries for people I know settled in Essex Co. Besides Charles Monger & Joseph Farris, I have Simon Girty, Henry Huffman, Rudolph Huffman, Wendel Wiglay (Wigle), Mary Melott, Peter Melott, Daniel & Jacob Iler, & Mary Jones. Others I have that interacted with Charles Monger & Joseph Farris were Robert Johnson, Thomas Williams,& Thomas Hall. There are others but that's the ones I have.
That's it for now, Linda
