John married a woman named Delia, probably between 1870 - 1888, possibly in Mason county.
John was likely the son of Samuel GENSON, b. 1807 in NY who also came to Mason County about the same time.
Samuel had 13 children of who John is one, the others:Charles, Jane, Silas, Levi, Mary, Sally, Samuel, Emily, Emeline, Benjamin, and Polly Ann.
Charles GENSON served in the civil war, though not from MI, more likely Ohio or NY.

First American record appears in Sheffield, MA the 1784 marriage of Richard GENSON and Abigail TUCKER.
Some of the descendants migrated through NY appearing in counties. 1860 they are in Lucas Co., OH; Some in Wayne Co., IN;
1870 in Mason Co., MI living in the area of Fountain and Sugar Grove.
Land index on this webpage shows most all my Mason Co., families in Township 19 North, Range 16 West.
Several of the GENSON sons of Samuel Cox GENSON received Military Bounty Land for their service during the American Civil War.
Have "many" photos of GENSON persons taken ca 1863-1890. Although many have dates stamped on the rear and photo studio locations on them, they are not identified.
So, if you have any old photos, please compare yours with mine. Have scanned them and are available to interested persons in jpg format. Any help appreciated !

. Susan was born in Nottingham, England in August 1837.
I have heard from older relatives that they are buried in or near Freesoil.
There was a Sarah Jane NOTTINGHAM who married Peter Jacob LUCHENE in Muskegon, seems like a good chance they might have been related.
They had three other children known to me: Nancy (BAXTER), Sarah (SCHREUR), John LUCHENE. |
Any names and dates will be appreciated.

the 1880s. He and his wife, Cornelia (WILSON) WELCH, lived first in Amber, then moved to Scottville about the mid-1880s.
Their sons, William U. and Noah Wilson WELCH (the latter was my grandfather) worked in the business with their father.
Does anyone have any information or material from the J. WELCH Hardware & Farm Implement business, including letterheads, invoices, envelopes, photographs, etc., etc.?
Jacob sold the business and the family moved to St. Louis, Gratiot County, in about 1890.
