Then a lost list of names of single men. Was he living in a boarding house with his children?

John Dixson and his wife and three children tired to settle at Pine River after the alva cables and others left and there were Mormon families there; see pg 96 and his G. Trav. Region

John Dixson is on Mackinac in the census of 1830 but it can't this man for he would have been 9 years old in 1830.

All the household

Who could this be? Frank had only girls in 1880 and John's oldest son was Daniel, who would have been 22 at this time? Also, this Father was born in Michigan and all Dunlevy boys were born in Ireland.

Doe, James

Age Born Occ.
Doe, James 22 Mich. Cooper

On Mackinac was living in 1850 the above James Doe. He is in a household headed by William Lawler and his wife Mary. There are five bachelors-all coopers.

Can this be the Doud who married the McCann sister who came over with brother Mike before the rest of the family? He is the right age.
