The marriage record of Fredrick Webster and Mary (Bliss) Price was located in the Allegan County Records. They married in "Sherman" and were also from Lee Township in Allegan County. They married 26 Mar 1878. Mary's maiden name appears to have been Blett not Bliss.
The Lawton Leader carried the obituary of Fred Webster on 19 Nov 1942: "Dies at Age 90 Fred Webster, resident of Lawton for 38 years, died Sunday at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Nora Jackson in Vicksburg, at the age of 90 years and 8 months. He had been ill for about a week. Mr. Webster's death came less than a year after that of his wife, who passed away last February. For many years the two were Lawton's oldest residents, but, despite their advance age, they were able to maintain the home on Walker street during the summer months, spending the winter with their daughter in Vicksburg. Mr. Webster was born in Riverton, Connecticut, in 1852. He was the grandson of a Narragansett Indian chief. In his youngest days he was a mason by trade. Mr. and Mrs. Webster were married in 1874 in Shermantown, in Allegan county, Michigan. A few years later they removed to Marcellus, where they lived until 1904, when they came to make their home in Lawton. Mr. Webster leaves six children, Mrs. Nora Jackson of Vicksburg, Byron of Otsego, Stanley of Alamo, and Bert, Frank and Fred of Flint; also 22 grandchildren, 60 great-grandchildren and 14 great-great-grandchildren. Funeral services were held in the Lawton Methodist church Wednesday afternoon at 2 o'clock, the Rev, Mr. Marsh of Vicksburg officiating. Burial was in Oak Grove cemetery, Lawton.
The records indicate Fred was the son of Solomon and Mary (Wilson) Webster. Solomon Webster was the son of Montgomery and Sybil (Elwell) Webster of Barkhamsted, Connecticut. If the reference made about the Narragansett Indian Chief was correct that would reference Montgomery Webster. In some records, Montgomery Webster was recorded as being "Mohegan" and his wife Sybil as "Creole". Creole was a term used for a person of mixed blood, Indian and Caucasian. Indications are that Fred Webster left Riverton at the age of fourteen with his uncle, Isaac Elwell, and drove to Michigan with horses and wagon.
