My Grand Father; Francis Marion Stimson was born February 17, 1844 in Michigan. Unknown county, because the family moved around a great deal while his father pursued his occupation as a millwright.He stated on his pension papers that he may have been born at Ionia.Ionia County or Lansing County. In 1850 the family was living in Rome Township, Lanawee County.Frank as he was known by his family, recalled having attended school on Eton Rapids, Michigan when he was a small boy.
