Stetson/Stutson Wood and Lucy Ann Reid/Read/Reed
« on: Monday 12 July 21 16:19 BST (UK) »
I've been stuck about ten years on my fathers paternal side, my grandmother was stuck on this line for 20 years prior.  I'm not super hopeful, but it's worth a shot!

Stetson/Stutson wood
-born Nov. 29th 1810 in either vermont or New York based on varying census information

His wife Lucy Ann Reid/reed/read
-born 09 Dec 1826 New York
-someone has her death in Sturgis, MI 5 Dec 1890

They were married in central NY in Livingston county and surrounding areas and had some of their children in New York and some in Michigan.  Barry county Michigan, mostly.

I can find no information on either of their parentage or even their graves.   Any help would be appreciated!!


-edit to have that I do have multiple censuses and lots of info on their children.   Just not the start or the end of either of them.

That death date seems to be for Lucy A. Reed, which I don't think she'd be listed as if she was a widow of Mr. Wood.  https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:N3VC-N4N

Correct, it doesn't seem to be the right Lucy.

Thank you, are those from a census or city directory?

Those are city directories.  You can find a bunch of Grand Rapids city directories here - https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/mb?a=listis;c=1648165062

Awesome, I took a look and have those on my ancestry tree from when they lived in Caledonia Station.  I've combed all the cemeteries online (with what's available) in Kent County and he just isn't there.  I hate to think I'll never find out!
