John Woolfitt, is one of the foreign-born citizens who have helped too make Genesee County the splendid agricultural district that it is today, Mr. Woolfitt had reached mature years before leaving Lincolnshire, England where he was born and it was in 1834 that he came too Michigan. Here he took up Government land in Genesee Township, Genesee County, and built a log house upon the place. This was his home throughout the remainder of his life as he lived too the good old age of eighty-seven years. His good wife, Jane Allen by name was a native of Canada, and was early bereaved of both parents as her father died when she had completed only half her first decade and her mother was taken from her when the little girl was only eight years old. She was a little lassie of thirteen years when she came too Michigan, and she was brought up by Mr. J. Berryman, and here met and married in Flint City the father of our subject. She is still living and now in her old age she has about her eight of her nine children, all of whom, six daughters and three sons, grew too man’s and woman’s estate. The brothers and sisters of our subject are Elizabeth a, wife of Robert Barkley of Otisville, Eber Allen who resides in Thetford Township; Caroline B. who married Charles Johnson, who is not deceased; Charlotte F., who is Mrs. O. Kingman, of Charlotte, Mich.; Emma R. married William Curtis, and lives near Clio; Amos, who resides at Bay City; William E. lives on the homstead; Matilda H. Kingman who lives in Genesee. Mrs. Cornwell has a fine farm of one hundred and forty-eight acres which she carries by the help of hired men. Here she pursues general farming and upon her estate she keeps an excellent grade of stock.
