Hetta Gyer, daughter of Susan Unknown and Adam Gyer, married Henry Fredricks before the 1850 US Census was taken in Porter Twp., Cass Co., MI:

1850 US Census, Porter Twp., Cass Co., MI
532/540
Henry Fredricks, 35, farmer, $1000.00, b. in Penn
Hetty Fredricks, 33, b. in Penn
Lucy J. Fredricks, 1, b. in Michigan
Henry Hatterman or Halterman, 11, b. in Penn

Two children are buried next to Henry and Hetty Fredricks in the first row of the old stones on Patterson Hill Road - Henry A., son of P & H. Haulterman, and Elizabeth A., daughter of P. & H. Haulterman. Henry Haulterman, as Henry Halterman, appears in the 1850 US Census, Porter Township, Cass County, MI. in the home of Henry and Hetty Fredricks (see the 1850 US Census for Porter Twp., above). The St. Joseph County, MI, "Online Marriage Index" lists the marriage of Henry Fredericks to Hester Holderman (B-20). These children appear to be Hester/Hetta/Hetty's by a previous marriage to a P. Haulterman. Variant spellings of Hetty's married name must be Holderman/ Haulterman/Halterman. There is a discrepancy in age for Henry A. Haulterman between the 1850 US Census, above, and Henry's stone in Poe Cemetery. Whatever his age and true date of birth, it is clear that he was born in the 1840's in Pennsylvania, and that Hetty and her first husband, P. Haulterman, came later to Michigan than Henry Fredricks, who had a daughter, Rachel Rebecca Fredricks, born in Newberg Township, Cass Co., MI, by 1837.
