Grew up in the Vermontville, Michigan area. Family in most of Eaton and Barry counties. Special interest in my Civil War ancestors; Schuyler Patterson; Amos and Joel Beeman; Caleb Barnes; James, George and Orrin Ervay; and William, George and Joseph Root. Will try to get all the photos of family graves,(many listed on this site), that my living relatives have watched me take while waiting in the sweltering vehicle, onto this wonderful site.
