Ezra FRANKS Doctor in Hillsdale County, Michigan
Can anyone tell me how I might find out more about Ezra FRANKS as a doctor in the village of Pittsford,in Hillsdale County, Michigan?
My husbands gr gr grandmother Susan BOWERS was in a house in the 1850 census in Medina Co., Ohio that Ezra FRANKS was listed as the head of house in. Ezra lived there with a wife and child names Orin FRANKS. Also in thathouse was a woman by the name of Besty BROWN. We have had an "very difficult" time locating information on Susan and her husband Jacob BOWERS. In the 1850 census it shows Susan in that house alone. We know that she and Jacob had a child born in 1850. We also know that Susan and Jacob had 5 other children in 1850 but we can not find them in the 1850 census.
Tracing Ezra from Ohio to Michigan gives us information that he went from being a farmer, to being a doctor in Hillsdale County in the 1880 census. We would like to know more about Ezra as we are guessing at this point that Susan may have been in his home in the 1850 census because she was about to give birth, or that she had already given birth to their 6th child.
If anyone can locate information on Ezra FRANKS in Michigan please contact me.
Thank you very much,
