Notes:

Robert married Mildred Irene White 29 Aug 1906, Covington, Kenton County, KY. Mildred (daughter of Edward Harrison White, II and Alice Grinnell (2) Remington) was born 14 Jul 1890, Genessee County, MI; died 8 Sep 1956, Flint, Genessee County, MI; was buried , Glenwood Cemetery, Flint, MI.

Notes:

IN the Federal Census of 1 Apr 1930, Mildred I. Jolly, a widow, is living at 1129 Beach St., Flint, Genesee Co., MI. With her are four of her children: Robert R., Louis N.(Lawrence), Bonnie R., & Margaret L.

I have made an assumption that Mildred remarried to a Mr. Elwood, because I have a copy of a newspaper article by a Mildred Elwood who is a granddaughter of William Remington.

Notes:

Pictures of Alice and some information on her family and her life were provided by Tom Lavery and Patricia (Borst) Brewer, two of our cousins in Michigan.

My research notes:
In the 1900 Federal Census, John & Alice Borst are living at Gaines, Genesee Co., MI. With them are Sumner Hunter, 13, Alice's son by her first marriage; Mildred White, 10, Alice's daughter by her second marriage; and Gladys Borst, 10 months, daughter of John & Alice. According to the census data, John & Alice have been married 7 years. For some reason, Shirley Borst, age 7, born Jan 1893, is living with a family nearby; the census says she is "A. daughter" -- suggesting adopted daughter. It says she was born in MI, and her parents were born in Ireland & Germany. I cannot read the family name she is with (possibly begins with W), although the wife is Sarah and the 6-year-old son is Arthur.

In 1910, John C. & Allie Borst are living at Flint, Genesee Co., MI. With them are children Shirley, Gladys, Hugh, & Fenton. According to the census data, Alice has had 6 children, and 5 are living at that time.

In 1920 John C. & Allie G. Borst, ages 56 & 49, are living on Flushing Rd., Flint, Genesee Co., MI. With them are the following children: Hugh G. 16, Fenton R. 11, & Cecil J. 2 (adopted son). (Is Cecil J. the son also called James, or was James a son who died young?)

In 1930, John C. & Alice G. Borst are living on Farley St., Flint, Genesee Co., MI. With them are sons Fenton R. & Cecil J., ages 20 & 12.

Notes:

It has not been proven that John Henry's father was William. There is some speculation that his name was Samuel, and that John Henry had a brother named Samuel.
