Laws and Bond Family Mitchegan. USA
« on: Friday 10 March 17 11:01 GMT (UK) »
I have just found out that an ancestor connected to our Laws family from Hampshire England, emigrated to United States. I have not found out when but they are on 1870 and 1880 census in Eagle Harbour Mitchegan. They are Jacob and Lucy Laws (Lawes) with children Henry and George. They also had a daughter Elizabeth. We believe she married a John Bond and was on 1880 census with daughter Blanche. The place they lived was called Olive, in Mitchegan state. . Both Elizabeth and John were born in England.      I have already found the death of Lucy and her son Henry.  Any information or help appreciated.

Hi

George Laws - born 1845 - passed away 3 January 1911 -  Grant, Keweenaw, Michigan.
Father's name Jacob Laws - aged 65 years - married -
The only discrepancy is the transcription gives parents Jacob Laws and Elizabeth White  ???
