Notes

Updated January 3, 2023. Compiled by Howder (www.howderfamily.com) from the following source(s):

(1) 1860 United States Census for Michigan, Lapeer Co., Dryden (Dryden Mich. Post Office): Page 165, July 18, 1860.

Orvill SWAIN is the son of Hiram SWAIN (age 44, b. NY, a farmer) and Sirloma SWAIN (age 43, b. NY). Orvill is 10 years old, born in New York and is attending school. His siblings are Maria SWAIN (age 18, b. NY), Lucy SWAIN (age 17, b. NY), Mary SWAIN (age 14, b. NY), Harriet SWAIN (age 11, b. NY), Edward SWAIN (age 4, b. Mich), and Wyatt SWAIN (age 1, b. Mich.).

By extrapolating the age of the children, the family likely moved from New York to Michigan sometime between 1851-1856.
