• Name	Thomas Russell Nowland  [1]
  Birth	2 Dec 1812	Yates Co., New York, USA   [1]
  Gender	Male
  Death	1892	Marion Twp., Charlevoix Co., Michigan, USA   [1]
  Notes	Thomas Russell Nowland was obviously named for Elizabeth's maternal grandfather, Thomas Russell. CWW reported his 1812 birthplace as in Yates Co, NY. DBRX had Seneca City, NY, as also the place his parents were married. His family was in Fayette Twp, Seneca Co, NY in 1820. I find no "Seneca City", so perhaps she should have said Seneca "County". He was 38 in the 1850 census of Huron Tp, Wayne Co, Mich, a farmer with $300 in real estate. His wife Experience was 26, and with them were Lydia Ann 5, James P. 3, and daughter Sedate C. 1 year old; also his 12 year old nephew, Andrew J. Nowland, son of John and his deceased first wife Elizabeth, and a 16 year old farmer named Elisha Smith. Thomas moved from Wayne Co to Charlevoix Co, reportedly with his brother Michael, though Michael was still in Wayne Co in 1860, when Thomas had disappeared. (Charlevoix Co was formed 1869 from Emmet Co, but I have not found Thomas there or in Huron Co in 1860.) They established Nowland Lake in Marion Tp, where Andrew also joined them some time after 1860. In 1870 Thomas Nowland, and Michael and Andrew, were in Marion Tp, Charlevoix Co. Thomas was a farmer with $500 in real estate and $175 in personal property. He was 51, his wife Experience was 47, and with them were Matilda 20, Betsey 18, Thomas 16, Amos 14, Abraham 12, Amanda 10, and William 7. Their ages in this census do not corresponded with those in other years. Thomas and Experience were in Marion in 1880, aged 68 and 55. Both his parents were reported as born in Pa. Still at home were Amos H. 21 and Abriham P. 19, both working on the farm, Alba A. 16, William E. 11, and David M. 9. The family of John and Lydia Ward was near by. Thomas Jr was not found. Thomas died in 1892, and Experience was not found in 1900 so may have died also. Their son William was a day laborer aged 31 and single, in Charlevoix Village with John Ward 58 and A. Lydia 54, married 32 years, and their daughters Jennie and Myrtle. Thomas Jr and his wife Johan were in Charlevoix Village with their 4 children Grace, Jenett, Alba and Thomas. They had been married 17 years. Abe and Amy Nowland were in Marion. They had been married 14 years. One of their children had died. With them were Thomas, Clare, Roy and Abe. [2]
