Stephen,
My grandfather is Clarence F. Hoisington, sone of Chauncey Hoisington and Nellie Norris.His middle name is not Frederic but just the initial "F".On his birth certificate it reads Clarence F. Hoisington (per Ione, his daughter).Grandpa Hoisington did not have a birth certificate at time of birth so he went to Mason, MI with his uncle Warren, in front of a judge.His uncle Warren swore in front of the judge that grandpa Hoisington was born 1885 to Nellie and Chauncey Hoisington (my great grandparents).Grandpa needed the birth certificate because he was going into business with his father-in-law from his first marriage, and because he was to teach a class on painting at the Community College in Lansing.Grandpa was a good lumberjack man until he went into business with his father-in-law.He learn the painting business and became very good at that too.
