- The 1840 census of Huron Tp, Wayne Co, Mich, listed Michael Nowland with a household of 1 male under 5, and 1 male and 1 female 20-29.
In the 1850 census of Huron Tp, Michael Nowland was 34, a farmer with $800 in real estate. His wife Sarah Ann was 32, and they had Russell F. 10, David R. 8, Henry L. 5, and George D. 3.
In 1860 in Huron, Michael Nowland was 44 and had $1200 in real estate and $800 in personal property. He was a farmer. His wife Sarah was 42, and with them were Russell 20, David 18, Henry 15, George 13, Hamilton 7, Franklin 4 and Lucy 1 year old. (DBRX gives a Michael b 9 May 1857, d 9 Aug 1861, but not in the 1860 census. Could this be the same as Franklin, also given by DBRX?)
In the 1870 census of Marion Tp, Charlevoix Co, Mich, Michael Nowland was a farmer with $1000 in real estate and $150 in personal property. He was 48, his wife Sarah was 45. With them were George 22 and Hamilton 17, farm laborers, Lucy 11 and Mary 8. His son Russell was next door, listed between his uncles Andrew and Thomas Nowland.
Russell was 28, a farmer with $600 and $100 in property. His wife Josephine was 25, and the children were Levirta 8 and Frank 4 Nowland. Levirta was really a Hawkins, Josephine's child by her previous marriage.

In 1880, Michael and Sarah A. were again in Marion Tp, at the ages of 64 and 62. Only Hamilton W. 27 (works on farm), and Mary D. 18 (doing housework) were with them.
Their son Henry and his wife "Kite" were 36 and 22, in Eveline Tp, Charlevoix Co, and had a son John who was 9 months old, and a cousin George Potter 12, whose parents were born in Vermont and Ohio, so was probably related to Kite whose mother was born in Ohio. Their son George was living in the village of Charlevoix, Charlevoix Co, on a "Street not yet named", where he was a laborer aged 30. His wife Rose was 25, and they had George 5, Minnie P. 3 and Archy M. 1 year old.
Russell Nowland was in Eveline Tp, a "Salor" aged 40. His wife was called Josephene Hawkins and was 37. Dittoed as "Hawkins" were both Eva aged 18 (Levirta "Nowland" of l870), and Michael 13 ("Frank" Nowland of 1870).
In 1900, Michael Nowland, a widower aged 84, was living with his son Hamilton in Marion Tp. Hamilton was 47, his wife Annie B. 27, and they had been married 9 years.
