Michael was the son of Johann Michael & Caroline (Sondheimer) Amos. Michael immigrated to the United States in 1838. According to the "History of Wood County, Ohio" authored by M. A. Leeson: "Michael was brought to the United States by his parents. They all took passage on the "Wild Lion" at Havre (sic), France, and after a long and tedious voyage of 36 days landed safely at New York." On December 11, 1844, Michael married Theresa "Tracy" Brackley in Portage Township, Wood County, OH. The couple resided on a farm in Portage Township and parented 10 children between the years of 1848 & 1866: Michael Amos Jr., Phillip (a.k.a. "Philip") Amos (also buried at Fish Cemetery), Catherine "Kate" Amos (also buried at Fish Cemetery), John Amos (also buried at Fish Cemetery), Anthony Amos, William M. Amos, Charles R. Amos (also buried at Fish Cemetery), Mary Amos (also buried at Fish Cemetery), & two unnamed infants, one male & one female. Excerpted from the May 18, 1897, edition of the "Wood County Sentinel": "Michael Amos, Sr., of Portage Township, died very suddenly and unexpectedly Monday morning at his home. Mr. Amos was in (his) usual good health. He had eaten a hearty breakfast and had gone out on the porch where he was found shortly afterward, seated in a chair, dead."
