8. | INGRAHAM Daniel was born in 1780 in Cornwall, VT (son of INGRAHAM Nathan D and SPENCER Irene); died in 1845 in Flowerfield, MI. Notes:
Daniel and Elizabeth, plus 2 sons, are listed as a family in the history of Cornwall written by the Rev. Lyman Matthews; this book is considered a reliable, standard history of the town, printed 1842.
Subsequently they removed to Geauga County, Ohio, with the 2 sons, Joseph Pitts, my ancestor, and Daniel Norman, leaving a third son and an unnamed infant daughter in the church graveyard. Daniel Norman evidently remained in Ohio and there are lots of his descendents still there. I believe that Joseph Pitts reared his family in Ohio, but the son who was my grandmother's father moved to South Haven MI and is buried there (and his wife) and his descendents have all been Michiganders. I myself lived in MI for over 70 years, but after my parents and only sibling were all gone, and one of my sons had moved to MA, I decided to move east also to be near him. And I found that most of my family history research had been calling me to New England. So here I am settled.
