    Questions Possibly Related to Beaverton, Michigan

    what is the property value of five acres in Beaverton Michigan?
    Question:
    Bought five acres of vacant wooded land in Beaverton Michigan. It is off a main road and there is a small stream that runs threw the property.

    Answer:
    You would be the best judge of that, you just bought it and if you financed it there was an appraisal done. If you didnt finance it and payed cash or the owner carried a contract you still should have have had an appraisal done. It depends on the zoning what you can do with it. The stream may add value or take value away. The stream may flood in heavy rains or dry up in hot summers. Can you log the land and build? will the prop perk for a septic system? How far is public water or do you have to drill a well? How far is public power? It may cost more than you paid for the land to bring in utilitys. What type of access road is there and will it be usable in the winter? This is a question that no one can answer without knowing all the above.

    John Doan born in Ontario Canada July 23 1826 and died Tuscola Michigan, can someone look him up please?
    Question:
    I believe this is probably my GG grandfather's father... John DOan was the son of Moses Doan and Mary WIntermute, Born in canada and died in tuscola Michigan. I can not seem to find any other information about him. Im trying to find the link to my GG grand father Jonathan Doan Born about 1849 In ontario Canada, Married to Esther Elizabeth Kaake in ontario about 1871 and immagrated to Sanilac Michigan about 1877.(tuscola Co Michigan was once called Sanilac) And GG Grandpa Doan died in Beaverton michigan in 1906. HIs fathers name is john and thats as far as i could ever find for sure... can this be the link i need?? PLEASE HELP Ive found the information for my gg grandfather but the only connection im missing is his parents then ill be connected all the way to the late 1500's .

    Answer:
    I actually know a bunch of Doan's from Beaverton...such a small world. I sent you much by email of this because it wasn't showing up here. But here's the most important "stuff" The children of Moses Doan and Mary Wintermute: Abraham Doane Moses Doane Mary Wintermute 15 May 1829 Cynthia Doane Moses Doane Mary Wintermute 11 Jan 1808 Cynthia Doane Moses Doane Mary Wintermute 11 Jan 1808 Esther Doane Moses Doane Mary Wintermute 11 Oct 1824 Hannah Doane Moses Doane Mary Wintermute 15 Dec 1823 Israel Doane Moses Doane Mary Wintermute 24 May 1805 John Doane Moses Doane Mary Wintermute 23 Jul 1826 Joseph Doane Moses Doane Mary Wintermute 13 Nov 1820 Mary Doane Moses Doane Mary Wintermute 2 Mar 1819 Moses Doane Moses Doane Mary Wintermute 8 Aug 1817 Nancy Doane Moses Doane Mary Wintermute 8 Jun 1807 Nathan Doane Moses Doane Mary Wintermute 16 Jan 1812 Rachel Doane Moses Doane Mary Wintermute 29 Jan 1814 With the oldest of these being born in 1805, you're looking at parents who were born in the 1780s or 90s at the latest. That puts it outside of the normal databases for Ontario, but also tells us that they were there long before most Europeans. I would be looking in the United Empire Loyalist records for the Wintermutes and Doans. Most of the Americans who stayed loyal to the Crown during the Revolution were sent up to Nova Scotia, then went over to Ontario to start over. Many were given some pretty generous land grants in areas where the British thought the border was vulnerable to more American attacks, so they loaded the lands with Loyalists who had already stood up to the Americans. So searching those records, I did find a John Wintermute originally from Pennsylvania. His "proof" of Loyalty is in the email I sent you. On page 344 of the "Loyalists in Ontario, Sons and Daughters of the American Loyalists of Upper Canada" book (William Reid) I found info on Mary Wintermute, daughter of John Wintermute of Humbertstone, formerly of Butler's Rangers, and his wife Margaret OC 11 Nov 1815. Mary married Moses Doan, also of Humberstone. OC 23 May 1809. From there I found Joseph Doan of Humberstone and Walpole, born in Bucks Co PA. His wife isn't listed, but the first of his children mentioned is Moses Doan m. Mary Wintermute. Moses was a cooper. From here, I'd suggest that if you can afford to travel to either the Library of Michigan or Detroit Public Library (Burton Collection), you could access a wealth of records on the UELs (United Empire Loyalists). Their stories are extremely well documented. If neither of those works for you, you can try the main library in Saginaw, which is also where the French Canadian Genealogy Society of Michigan regularly meets and they're very well-versed at researching obscure records in Ontario during that time frame. They also have access to the Burton Collection, which is where all the main historical records for the old Northwest Territory are housed, and they can help you find the records you need and request them through Interlibrary loan. If you need more info, I'd be happy to snoop for you. I'm a very happy French-Canadian researcher and know the Saginaw Valley quite well. My own family was from Quanicassee and settled there from Canada in the 1850s. Drop me a note through my profile if you need more.
