  1. 1.  Charles Bennett was born 12 Oct 1808, Cambridge, MA; died Aft 1 Jun 1880.

    Notes:

    In the 1850 Federal Census, the Bennett family is living at Augusta, Washtenaw Co., MI.

    In 1860 they appear in the census as Charles & Caroline Bent. They are living at Fenton, Genesee Co., MI. Four children are in the household; perhaps their children Caroline & Paul have died, because they are not there. According to this census data, Charles Sr. is a farmer, born in VT; but the 1850 census says he was born in MA.

    In 1870 they are Chas & Caroline Bennet, still at Fenton, MI. Their two youngest sons are with them, and they are next door to son Charles, Jr., and his wife. According to the census data, Charles, Sr., is a sailor born in MA.

    In 1880 they are at Lasalle, Monroe Co., MI. Also with them are a daughter-in-law and grandson.

    Charles married Caroline Thurston Abt 1832. Caroline was born 14 Nov 1813, Oswego County, NY; died Aft 1 Jun 1880. [Group Sheet]

    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.

    Alice married John Wilson Hunter 25 Feb 1886, Fenton, Mundy Township, MI. John was born Abt 1864, London, Canada. [Group Sheet]

    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.

    Mildred — Mr. Elwood. [Group Sheet]

    Mildred married Robert Morris Jolly, II 29 Aug 1906, Covington, Kenton County, KY. Robert was born 19 Sep 1880, Kentucky; died Bef 1 Apr 1930. [Group Sheet]

  6. 18.  Shirley Borst Descendancy chart to this point (12.Alice3, 6.Eliza2, 1.Charles1) was born Jan 1893.

    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.

    The question is, is Shirley Borst Alice's daughter, and if so, is John her father? The census data in 1900 is inconclusive; it may or may not be correct. According to the 1910 census, Alice has had 6 children, and 5 are living at that time. If James is her son, then Shirley must not be (?). This needs more research.


  7. 19.  James Borst Descendancy chart to this point (12.Alice3, 6.Eliza2, 1.Charles1) was born Abt 1895.

    Notes:

    I am not sure about James. Perhaps he was a son who died young.

    Notes:

    In the 1930 Federal Census, Hugh G. & Bereneda I. Bourst are living at Flint, Genesee Co., MI. They have a young son, Earnest.

    Hugh married Ida Berneda Cummings 27 Mar 1925, Whigville, MI. Ida (daughter of Calvin Russell Cummings and Emma Sarah Williams) was born 17 Jul 1907, Mundy Township, MI; died 10 Jun 1993. [Group Sheet]
