HILLYARD & FERGUSON OF NY
Posted by: Dicksie KNIGHT MAY (ID *****1599) Date: July 02, 2008 at 07:15:45
  of 50760

Jesse HILLYARD (Hyliard, Hilliard, Hillard, etc.)
Born: ca 2 Dec 1809, Canada or New York
Died: ca 15 Feb 1897, Cambria, Hillsdale, MI

Married: Lavina FERGUSON

Lavina FERGUSON
Born: ca 9 Apr 1816, Canada or New York
Died: ca 1909, Cambria, Hillsdale, MI

NOTE: ca because I have no proof of these dates.

CHILDREN:

1. Benjamin E. - B: 22 June 1838, NY + Nancy G. Gavett
2. Marks H. - B: 22 Mar 1840,NY + Judd + Anna V. Whaley
3. Andrew J. - B: 1844, NY
4. Phoebe A. - B: 1846, NY + Normal Ayers
5. Nathan - B: 1849 NY, + Clara
6. Mary - B: 15 Mar 1851, IL + Nate Blissett
7. George - B 31 Oct 1856, Hillsdale, MI
8. Joseph L. - B: 27 Sep 1858, Hillsdale, MI + Edith Bell
9. Ernest - B: 9 Jun 1860, Hillsdale, MI + Orrie
10. Burnice - B: 9 Jun 1860, Hillsdale, MI
11. Le roy Adelbert - B: 28 Aug 1861, Hillsdale, MI + Matilda Henning
12. Angeline - B: 1866, Hillsdale, MI + Ezra Chappell
13. Olive - 22 Mar 1867, Hillsdale, MI + Fred Lapham
14. Edith - 14 Jul 1868, Hillsdale, MI
15. Ely Eugene - 14 Jul 1868, Hillsdale

It appears that there were 2 sets of twins born to Jesse and Lavina . . .with the death of Burnice, Edith and Ely the same year of their birth.

Benjamin E. and Marks H. both served in the Civil War and were mustered out of Company K at Woodbridge, MI, on 26 Jul 1865. Picture of Marks Hillary grave at Riverside Cemetery, Mt Pleasant, MI, from Hillsdale County Gen Web site states he was in the 27th Michigan Infantry.

I would like to learn more about this family, especially Jesse HILLYARD and his wife Lavina FERGUSON. Where were they born? Who were their parents? The line I am researching is their son, Joseph L. + Edith Bell, but would like to learn about this entire family. Appreciate any help I can get.
