Notes |
- In 1840, Andrew Nowland was listed in the census of Huron, Wayne Co, Mich, next to his brother John. His household consisted of 1 male and 1 female under 5, and 1 male and 1 female 20-29. Perhaps the unidentified daughter was Maryann or Ida from CWW's list, and died young before 1850.
In the 1850 census of Huron, Andrew Nowland was "26", a farmer with $500 in real estate. His 2nd wife Rachel was 20, and with them were William 12 (by 1st wife), Sarah 8 and Alonzo 7 (children of Andrew's brother, iv-William), and Rachel's son Andrew who was 1 year old. Also in the household was Catharine "Felton" aged 59, probably Rachel's mother. CWW had reported Rachel's maiden name as Feltar.
In 1860 Andrew's age was 47, in Huron. He now had $1000 in real estate and $750 in personal property. Rachel was 30, and the children were William 21, Andrew "T." 11, Theresa 7, Ida P. 6, Silas S. 3, and Albert who was 3 months old. Catharine "Felter" was still with them at age 67.
Andrew had moved to Marion Tp, Charlevoix Co, Mich before the 1870 census, where his farm was valued at $1000, and his personal property at #400. He was 58 Racheal was 42, and at home were Teressa 18, Ada 15, Silas 13, Albert 11, Eddy 6, and Samuel 2.
His son William T. Nowland was still in Huron, Wayne Co, aged 32, a farmer with $2000 and $600 in real and personal property. His wife Mary H. was 33, and their son George was 4.
Andrew "A." Nowland, 21, was also in Huron, a sawyer with $800 and $100 in property. His wife Lucina was 23, and their two children were listed as "Rachel" 2 years and "Albert" 8 months old. These names were double checked, for later records had Richard and Martin who were these ages. Apparently Rachel was correct, for DBRX had a death for her. And Martin was in 1880 and 1900, but no Albert.
In 1880, Andrew Nowland was a widower. With him in Boyne City, Evangeline Tp, Charlevoix Co, Mich, were his son Albert "28" and daughter Tressa 27.
His son Andrew was a Deputy Sheriff in Boyne Valley, Charlevoix Co, with his wife "Lucinda" and five children. He was 32, she 36. Their children were Richard 12, Martain 10, Ann E. 8, Magie 4 and Guy 1 year old.
William T. Nowland had remained in Huron, Wayne Co, with his wife Mary H. He was a farmer aged 42, she was 43. Their sons George E. and Walter G. were 14 and 9. With them also was Nellie Norton 10, attending school. No relationship was shown, but she may be the daughter of Emily (Nowland) Norton (iv-5.), whose older brother and sister, Sarah and Alonzo Nowland, had been with Andrew in 1850.
In 1900 Andrew (Jr)'s widow Lusena M. Nowland kept a boarding house in Boyne Valley Tp. At the time of the enumeration, her boarders were four men of varying ages, origins and occupations. Her son Martin P. was 30 and unmarried, a laborer boarding with a younger man born in Illinois of German parents, who was a laborer in the woods.
Also in 1900, Albert, Edward and Samuel Nowland were farmers in Wilson Tp, Charlevoix Co living next to each other with their families:
Albert was 39, and had been married 16 years to Edith who was 31. Six of Edith's ten children had died. Since she did not marry Albert Nowland until she was about 25, it is possible some were by a previous marriage. The four survivors were Grace, Ora, Ray and Roy Nowland. A nephew, Sidney Thompson aged 21, was with them as a farm laborer. He may have been Edith's nephew, as the only possible relationship to Albert would be if his older sister Ida had married a Thompson after 1870.
"Eddy" Nowland was 35, his wife Alma was 29, and they had been married 14 years, their only two children being Teresa and Charles.
Samuel had just been married within the census year, so had no children yet. He was 31, his bride "Cesil" was only 19.
Of William's two sons, George was in Wyandotte, Wayne Co, and Walter was still in Huron, both married, but only Walter had a child. [2]
