| Notes |
- John Nowland was in the 1840 census of Huron Tp, Wayne Co, Mich, listed next to Andrew Nowland. His household contained 1 male under 5, 1 male 5-9, and 1 male and 1 female 20-29.
John Nowland has yet to be found in the 1850 census. But Steward S. 15 and Emily 4 were with William B. Hollert(?) and Elizabeth, aged 57 and 52, in the 1850 census of Huron, Wayne Co. Probably the name should be Hulbert/Hurlbut, in which case William might be their uncle. Sarah 8 and Alonzo 7 were with with their uncle, Andrew Nowland in Huron. Andrew J. Nowland, aged 12, was with his uncle Thomas Nowland in Huron. Their mother had probably died.
In Huron Tp in 1860, John Nowland was 44, a farmer with $700 in real estate and $375 in personal property. His new wife Jane was 32, and four of John's children by his first wife were back with him - Jackson 21, Sarah 19, Alonzo 16 and Emily 14, and Jane's first child, Francis, who was 2 years old. Steward was already married, but has not been found in 1860. Sarah was also listed in Huron, aged 20, with Theodore 30 and Margaret 28 Evans.
CWW had named John's wife as Elizabeth Hulbert. DBRX said his wife was Jane Hicks, mother of his first 5 children. The census confirms the name Jane --- , but she appears to have been a second wife, the first being mother of only the first 4. The gap of 12 years between Emily and Francis strongly suggests Francis was Jane's first child, with two more to follow.
John Nowland was still in Huron in 1870 at the age of 56, and Jane was 42. His real and personal property was valued at $1000 and $250. With them were Francis 12, Benjamin 10 and Ira 3; also (his daughter) Emily Norton, a nurse aged 24, and her twin daughters born in February but not named. There was a Nellie Norton aged 10 in 1880 with probably her uncle, William T. Nowland.
Also in Huron in 1870 was Steward Nowland aged 34, with a wife Mary A. 33 and two daughters, Emily E. 11 and Zoa 9. Steward was a "hackster." In Ecorse, Wayne Co, was an "And. J. Nowlin" who might be John's son, though given the age of 28 instead of 32, perhaps because his Swiss wife Mary was only 19. There is no proof of his identity however.
In 1880, Huron, Stewart Nowland was a house carenter aged 44. His wife Mary was 43, both parents born in NY, and their daughter Zoa was 19.
In Brownstown Tp, Wayne Co in 1880, John Nowland's widow Jane was 53, her father born in England, her mother in Canada. Her two youngest sons were still with her, Benjamin who was 19 and a farm laborer, and Ira who was 13. Next door were Frank Nowland 21, a farm laborer, his wife Margaret 24, and their 4 month old son John.
Thomas Nowland, aged 15 in 1900, was in Brownstown, Wayne Co, as grandson of Thomas and "Margrate" Quick, thus providing the maiden name of Francis Nowland's wife Margaret. His brother John was not found in 1900.
In the 1900 census of Holly Tp, Oakland Co, Mich, there was a Mary Nowland age 62, born in Aug 1837, who had been married 42 years and had borne 2 children, both still living. This seems to match Steward's wife Mary, but there is no proof of this identification. In this census her father was born in Vermont, her mother in Massachusetts, instead of both in New York as in the 1880 census, which raises doubts that she was the same Mary. She was called sister-in-law of, and was house keeper for, Dr. Daniel Bartholomew 51 and his wife Elizabeth D. 60. The birthplaces of Mary's and Elizabeth's parents match. Mary was not called a widow, but John Nowland was not indexed in Michigan in 1900, and not found in the usual Nowland places of residence.
In Banks Tp, Antrim Co, Mich, Ira Nowland was a saw mill laborer aged 33. He had been married 1 year to Lulu who was 18, and they had a 4 month old son Benjamin. With them was his mother-in-law Laurette Thomas, a widow aged 44, and a boarder George Thomas (probably her son) who was 25 and a day laborer.
Benjamin Nowland was in Marion Tp, Charlevoix Co, in 1900. He was 39 and a farmer. His wife Adele was 37 and they had been married 10 years. One of her six children had died. Her Nowland children were Maurice 9, Edith 6 and Clara 3. Her Sandrok children, Benjamin's step-children, were Lillian 16 and Charles 14, born in Wisconsin and Illinois, their father born in Wisconsin. [2]
