Hello, I am looking for the families of Samuel Donaldson who married Nancy Messenger in New York that move to Oakland Co., Michigan. She married him in 1836 after her father had died. Nancy (Messenger) was the daughter of Rufus Messenger and Rosannah Goddard who was from CT at the time of her birth they were living in Monroe Co., NY. I am still looking for the mother time frame of death Nancy father Rufus Messenger (Sr.) died in early 1835.
Nancy's oldest brother (Rufus) Milo Messenger was born in 1799 in CT or MA, I have found leads of where the family lived in Westfield, MA. Nancy was one of the younger children who was born in New York.
She has 7 siblings:
Rufus Milo Messenger who married Elizabeth Ann Barnes
two son Edwin Milo Messenger, Chauncey Monroe Messenger
Rufus Milo Messenger died in Peoria Co., IL in 1830's
(this is my lineage of Messenger)
Lavina Mesenger who married Dr. Jonathan Gale
who died in Brighton New York in 1850's
Anna Messenger who married Dr. Jacob Scheaffer
Anna and Jacob Scheaffer died in De Witt, Iowa
These four move to Michigan after 1830's and one live a short time in Indiana (one of the sisters)then moved to Michigan
Philinda who married John Neale or Neal
Fanny Messenger who married Lucius Judson
Harriet Messenger who married Silas Darrow
Warren Messenger who married Jane Noble
and we try to relocation all of the history of the children. I am in touch with each lineage of Rufus and Rosannah Messenger lineages.
