I just found an image of the 1850 census for Pontiac, Michigan which has Phares (Pharas) listed as Ferris with no head of household male.He is 15 years of age at the time.
The head of household is listed as Eroinoth (spelling may be off) French, 45 year old Female born in New York.Also listed are Parshal ( 19 y.o. male), Ferris (15 y.o. male), and Seldin (11 y.o. male).
Assuming Phares is living with his mother, his father must have died before 1850 - which means it may have been the event which caused the move to Michigan.He could also have died shortly after they moved there.
